Detailed explanation-1: -Materials which do not allow electric current to flow through them are known as insulators.

Detailed explanation-2: -Insulator: insulators resist the flow of electricity. Insulating materials are used to coat copper conducting wires and are used to make electrical work gloves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Overview. Thermal conductors are materials that transfer thermal energy easily. Thermal insulators are materials that do not transfer thermal energy easily. Thermal conductors are used to transfer thermal energy from one place to another.

Detailed explanation-4: -Materials that do not let current flow easily are called insulators. Most nonmetal materials such as plastic, wood and rubber are insulators.

Detailed explanation-5: -Substances which don’t allow heat to easily pass through them are known as insulators. Insulators have crystal structure of molecules, molecules are far from each other, compared to conductors.
