Electrical insulators –

Why do we need to use electrical insulators?

First what is electrical insulators?

-A n electric insulator, often referred to as an electrical insulator, is a


material that does not conduct electricity effectively and is used to
prevent the flow of electric current between conductive materials. It
works by blocking or resisting the movement of electrons from one
point to another, thereby keeping the electricity confined within its
intended path.
-An electrical insulator is a material in which electric
current does not flow freely. The atoms of the
insulator have tightly bound electrons.

Now we are going to see-


So the types of electrical conductors are-
Plastics
Styrofoam
Paper
Rubber
glass
dry air.
