Also known as electrical insulator, electric insulator, insulating material

material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely, and which therefore does not conduct an electric current

AI overview

An insulator is a material whose electric charges don't move freely, so it blocks the flow of electric current. This matters because insulators are essential for safely controlling electricity in everyday devices—they prevent unwanted current flow and protect people from electrical hazards.
