Insulators of electricity: A person wearing rubber boots stepping on an exposed wire without getting electrocuted. Insulators of heat: A styrofoam cup containing hot water. It does not heat up or burn your hand a lot. In fact, it is so minimal that you hardly notice it.

∙ 10y agoSounds like the question is part or homework. Problem is, without knowing the list of materials you have, we do not know which ones to pick. If you want general examples: Glass, ceramic, plastic, rubber. At lower voltages then paper, wood, skin, cardboard, ivory. At higher voltages however (or if damp), then paper, wood, carboard and skin will all conduct electricity.
Commercial insulators for high voltage applications (power pylons / towers etc) tend to use ceramic and glass to make the insulators. Most wire is insulated with PVC as it is both a very good insulator and also flexible.
Some OLD cables (before PVC and when it was known that rubber would perish over time), actually used a combination of waxed paper and cotton if they were to be burried underground.

Would like two examples of an electric insulator?
polythene and perspex
Give two examples of an insulator?
First of all, an insulator is something that electrons/electricity cannot flow through.So, here are some examples of insulators:- Paper- Plastic- Wood- Cloth- Glass- etc.
Are glasses a conductor or insulator?
Examples of insulators include plastics, Styrofoam, paper, rubber, glass and dry air.
Is a cloth a conductor or a insulator?
its an insulator
Is a ruler a conductor or a insulator?
insulator
What is 3 examples of insulator?
Glass, Paper, Rubber, wood.... Rubber being the most widely used as it is safe enough to be used to insulator low to moderate voltages ( 100v - 1000v )
What are examples of a insulator?
paper,glass,air
What is the example of insulator?
common example is PVC (poly vinyl chloride) a polymer of vinyl chloride
Are copper aluminum and gold examples of a conductor or insulator?
insulators
What are the examples of insulator and conductor?
The difference between a conductor and an insulator is that a conductor allows electrons to travel. This is because the "outer electrons" of a conductor are not anchored like those of an insulator. Conductors tend to be metals. Some examples of insulators are plastic, glass, rubber and wood.
What is type of electric insulator?
there aredifrant type of insulator 1 ruber insulator 2 paper insulator 3 water insulater
Would like two examples of an electric insulator?

What are the best examples of insulator of electricity?
Plastic, rubber, glass, air...

What is something that dose not have electrical conductivity?
It is an electrical insulator. Most stones are examples.
Which is the best insulator?
mostly contain of all types of metal examples are coper , silver ,aluminum, and other types. you should not say gold is a good insulator it would be nice to have a gold insulator but you'd have to be very wealthy
What are examples for conductors and insulator?
Metals, such as gold and silver, are conductors whereas wood and rubber are insulators.
