Latex is considered a(n) because charges do not flow freely through it?

If something doesn't let electrical charges to flow through easily, it is called an electrical insulator.


Are insulators made of materials that electricity can flow through easily?

If you're talking about electrical insulators, then no, as an electrical insulator does not let electricity through.


What is an example of an electrical insulator?

Rubber and wood are good electrical insulators because they don't let electricity pass through them.The best insulators in the world are uranium hexafluoride - used as the dielectric in UHV machines and also Barium Titanate [BaTiO(4)] Better to say that they resist the flow of charge - rather than 'don't let electricity flow through them'.


What is an insulator electricity?

A material which is very resistant to electrical flows. Typical insulators are rubber, plastics, ceramics and glass.A material that blocks the flow of electrical current. ie, porcelain, bakelite, rubber etc.


How do you get electicuted?

Touching live wiresTouching water with an electrical current running through ithaving wet hands and putting your finger in an electrical socketTouching the wires of a pylonSticking a metal object in an electrical socketBeing struck by a bolt of lightning obviously.Having faulty electrical equipmentYou are electrocuted because the electrical current can pass through whatever body part touched the electric, the current passes through your body frying your nerves. Your body is a conductor meaning it will let electrical currents pass through and that's how you get electrocutedhope this answers your question


What does to allow energy of electricity to flow mean?

It means that you let an electrical current flow. The current will, of course, carry energy.

Is the following sentence true or false charges flow easily through every material?

If we're talking about electrical current, then the answer is "false," because an electrical charge will flow very easily through some material, not that easily through some materials, and not at all through other materials. Usually electrical current will flow well through most metals. This is why copper wire is used to carry electricity, because copper allows electricity to flow with little resistance. If EVERY material in the world let electricity flow through it, we would be getting shocked all the time. Plastic and rubber, for instance, are very very resistant to electrical charges. If plastic and rubber allowed electricity to pass in them as easily as copper, you'd get an incredible shock every time you tried to touch your computer, put your finger on a light switch or answered your phone!
