  • Insulators: Understanding Electrical Resistance and Properties
    A material that current cannot flow easily through is called an insulator.

    Here's why:

    * Conductors: Materials like copper and silver allow electricity to flow easily through them.

    * Insulators: Materials like rubber, glass, and plastic resist the flow of electricity.

    The resistance of a material to the flow of electricity is measured by its resistivity. Insulators have a high resistivity, while conductors have a low resistivity.
