An insulator is a material through which electrons do not easily flow. Insulators have a very high resistance.
AnswerInsulators behave in the way they do because they contain insufficient numbers of charge curriers to support conduction. It has nothing to do with electrons being 'unable to flow easily'!

What substance allows electrons to flow easily is called a?
conductor
What enables the electric current to move through a material?
The electric current moves in the direction opposite to the flow of electrons by convention.When a potential difference is applied to a material which has "loose" electrons, the electrons move in a direction opposite to the potential gradient and the current moves in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons.This is how current flows in materials.
How do electrons flow in an electric circuit in terms of voltage difference?
Electrons are negatively charged particles. When a voltage difference exists, electrons are repelled from the more negative (or less positive) voltage toward the more positive voltage. If they are in a material which allows conduction of electricity, then the electrons will flow toward the more positive voltage.
What does the resistance of the flow of electrons cause?
it cause no electricity because of the resistance but.... if your question was..... "the caused by the flow of electrons" then the answer well be ( it cause electricity )
Can charge flow easily through insulators?
"Insulator" means that electrical charge can NOT flow through it easily.
What is a material that allows electrons to flow easily through it?
Anything that is classified as a conductor will allow the flow of electrons.
What is a material through which electrons do not easily flow?
insulator
Why does nonconductive material allow the flow of electricity?
If you mean "dis"allow the flow, it's because electrons cannot travel easily between the atoms of the material.
Why can't electricity go through rubber?
Rubber is what is known as an electrical insulator. The difference between insulators, which block the flow of electricity, and conductors, which permit the flow of electricity, lies in the availability of mobile electrons in the material in question. Electricity is composed of moving electrons. Some materials, such as metals, contain electrons that are easily moved, hence electric currents move easily in those materials. If a material does not have electrons that are easily moved, then it resists the flow of electrons.
A material through which electrons do NOT easily flow is a what?
An insulator or a dielectric.AnswerInsulators behave in the way they do because they contain insufficient numbers of charge carriers to support conduction. It has nothing to do with electrons being 'unable to flow easily'!
What is a material that can flow easily called?
A material that can easily flow is called a fluid.
Electrons do not readily flow through what material?
The material that electrons do not readily flow through in the electrical trade is classed an an insulator.
What is a material through which negatively charged particles flow easily?
A material through which negatively charged particles flow easily is called a conductor. Conductor materials have a large number of free electrons that are able to move within the material, allowing the easy flow of electric current. Examples of good conductors include metals like copper, aluminum, and silver.
Is glass insulator or conductor?
Glass is an insulator, as it DOES NOT conduct current. It is a material which has no free electrons available to flow as electrical current. Conductors, like copper or aluminum, have free electrons, or electrons in the outer shells of their atoms that are easily knocked loose. These electrons flow from negative to positive when an electrical potential (voltage) is applied across the material. We call the flow of electrons "current".
What do Electrons do not easily flow through?
A Resistor
What substance that allows the flow of free electrons?
Material that permits the free flow of electrons
What is the name for a material which lets electricity flow through it easily?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. A conductor. It lets heat and electrical current easily.
