Resistance does not 'slow down' current, it limits the current.

The ability of a substance to slow down current is a function of the number of charge carriers per cubic metre of that material.

Any material that slows the flow of electrons - without stopping them completely - is called a resistor.

Someone said the answer is "insulators" but that is wrong because insulators prevent any flow of electrons.

Another Answer

Resistors do not necessarily 'slow down' the drift of current; they reduce the quantity of that current.

An insulator is doesn't allow an electric current (electrons) to flow. An example of an insulator is wood.

How does the rate of blood flow change when a person stops exercising?

when a person IS exercising, their blood flow speeds up as their heart is pumping more blood around the body, so when a person stops exercising, their blood flow gradually slows down


What material slows the flow of an electrical charge the most?

Does heat energy flow indefinitely?

No, heat does not flow indefinitely. Heat stops flowing the temperatures are equal.


When will the flow of heat energy stop?

When the heat is traveling in the form of radiation, there's no reason for it to stop as long as the source is active. In the conductive and convective situations, the flow of heat from one material or object to the other stops when their temperatures are equal.
