nonconductor
A nonconductor, also known as an electrical insulator, is a material that resists the flow of electric current. This resistance arises from the arrangement of electrons within the material. In nonconductors, electrons are tightly bound to their atoms and are not free to move throughout the material. This makes it difficult for an electric charge to pass through.
Common examples of nonconductors include rubber, glass, plastic, and ceramics. These materials are widely used in
The property of being a nonconductor is crucial for the safe and effective operation of electrical devices
