DEFINITIONInsulator also called a dielectric or nonconductor is a material that resists the flow of electric charge.

This type of material is used in parts of electrical equipment intended to support or separate electrical conductors without passing current through itself.

THEORY OF APPLICATIONInsulator are materials whose atoms have tightly bound electrons.These electrons are not free to move around and be shared by neighboring atoms.If charge is transferred to an insulator at a given location, the excess charge will remain at the initial location of charging. The particles of the insulator do not permit the free flow of electrons.Therefore insulator restricts the transfer of either heat or electricity.
