What is an object that does not allow electricity to flow through?

An object that does not allow electricity to flow through easily is an insulator. It is so hard that it often won't go through at all. Sometimes you find an exception, like lightening. There is nothing that electricity cannot flow through altogether.


Why can electricity only go through conductors?

Because that's how a conductor is defined. A conductor is something that conductors electricity or "lets it go through". An insulator is something that doesn't. A semi conductor is half way between and will allow some electricity to "go through".


What things allow electricity to pass through?

electricity can travel through anything with a positive and negative electrical charge


What are the differences between insulators and conductors?

A conuctor conducts electricity e.g.copper whilst an insulator does not allow electricity to go through e.g. plastic


Why is computer internal components designed to use DC?

Transistors are the main working computer components. They either allow electricity to pass through or not pass through. They are either on or off. To work, they must allow electricity to go only one way. Sometimes transistors are attached to an AC circuit. Still they only let DC electricity come out. They are either on or off and only allow electricity to go one way.


What is the definition of conductors and insulators?

A conductor is a material that can transfer energy efficiently and and insulator is the opposite.Conductor means something that blocks it and insulator means something that can go through itA conductor easily transfers energy in the form of electricity and/or heat, while an insulator does not easily transfer these types of energy.In electricity, a conductor is a material that can let current pass through and an insulator does not let current pass through,or rather copper is a conductor and plastic is an insulator.A insulator is something that will not allowheat/electricity to pass through it and a conductor is something that allows heat/electricity to pass through it.


How does electricity go through you?

Our bodies are made up of something around 80% water, and electricity travels very well through water and if it's high amped electricity it can go through thin skin.

What is a insulator and conductor?

A insulator is a object a that stops the traveling of heat, electricity, and other stuff. A conductor is a thing that lets heat or electricity go through it.
