Question

How does an insulator stop the flow of an electric current?

A. Insulators have too many electrons.

B. Insulators have a positive charge so they absorb electrons.

C. Electrons in an insulator do not move readily.

D. Insulators convert electric energy to other forms of energy.

Answer 1

current means movement of electrons in one direction, which option u think best fits ?

Answer 2

like ganeshie8 said, for a current to pass through a material, the electrons in the material must be able to move from one end to the other.

Answer 3

in metals, the electrons are free to move whereas in insulators, ........

Answer 4

still stuck wid this ?

Answer 5

i think its B?

Answer 6

@ganeshie8

Answer 7

good guess, but its wrong. try again. insulators dont consume electrons, they just oppose them thats all.

Answer 8

Well then it has to be A

Answer 9

@ganeshie8

Answer 10

ok actually its C -
electrons in insulators are not readily movable, cuz electrons are strongly attracted to bonds. no easily movable electrons. and hence no current.
