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.

Can a magnet stop an electric current?

A magnet cannot stop an electric current, but it can influence the flow of the current. Moving a magnet near a wire carrying an electric current can induce a voltage in the wire, which can affect the behavior of the current.


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 can you stop electric bell ringing - nobody pressing it?

You can stop an electric bell from ringing by disconnecting it from the power source or by removing its batteries, if applicable. This will interrupt the electrical current and stop the bell from ringing.


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.


Does an electric current move a short distance and then stop?

No, an electric current flows continuously in a closed circuit. The movement of charges (usually electrons) through the conductor allows the flow of current to persist until the circuit is broken.


What is a complete electric ciruit?

A complete electric circuit is a closed loop through which an electric current can flow. It consists of a power source, such as a battery, wires to carry the current, and a load, such as a light bulb or motor, that operates using the current. If any part of the circuit is broken, the flow of electricity will stop.


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.
