An insulative material is one that will stop the conduction of heat. This would be considered a thermal brake and could be a piece of plastic or wood.

The flow of electric charges is called?
The flow of electric charges is current.
Why electric current across a wire drops?
Electric current does not drop. Electric voltage, however, drops across a wire because the wire has non-zero resistance. (Do not confuse electric current with electric voltage - they are not the same.)The reason current does not drop is that, in a series circuit, according to Kirchoff's current law, the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.
What allows the current to enter the electronromagnet in an electric motor?
The resistor allows current to enter the electromagnet in an electric motor. The resistor regulates the amount of current that enters the electric motor.
Which part of a circuit is a current?
Current is the flow of electric charge or the rate of the flow of an electric charge through a conductor.
What device uses motion in an electric field to produce an electric current?
electric genarator
Can a magnet stop an electric current?
yes
A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.
How do you start and stop the flow of electric current?
with a switch.
Can rubber be used to stop electric current?
yes
What happens when an electric circuit is broken?
Then the current will stop flowing.
What insulators stop electrical current?
Not really, insulators simply cannot support the passage of an electric current.
How do you deactivate an electromagnet?
Electromagnets are energized with an electric current. Turn the power off to stop the current will do the trick.
What electric material cuts down the flow of current but does not stop it?
Elijah abankwah
What could stop the flow if there is too much electric current?
circuit breaker or fuse
What is the ability of a substance to oppose or slow down electric current?
Insulators typically slow the movement of electrons through an electric current. Bad conductors, such as rubber, can be used to slow, stop, and/or redirect electric current.CommentInsulators do not 'slow down', 'stop', or 'redirect' current! Simply put, insulators don't have enough charge carriers to support conduction.
How can you start and stop electric circuit?
Using a switch device which starts and stops the electric current around the circuit
What will increasing the electric current to an electromagnet do to its magnetism?
An increasing electric current moving into an electromagnet will become stronger in its magnetism. As the atoms align the increasing magnetism will stop at one point, making the electromagnet as strong as it can be.
