An electric insulator blocks the flow of electrons, stopping electricity from flowing. Some examples of electric insulators are plastic, fiber glass, rubber, and wood.
CommentAn insulator doesn't actually 'block the flow of electrons'. It simply doesn't have sufficient free electrons available to support an electric current through itself.

Is a glass microscope slide an electrical insulator or a conductor?
Yes, a glass microscope slide is an electrical insulator. Glass is generally considered an electrical insulator.
What is a picture for insulator?
A picture for insulator could be a ceramic or glass electrical insulator used on power lines, or a rubber insulator used on electrical wires to prevent electrical conductivity.
An example of a insulator?
An insulator has several different meanings. The two most common are an electrical insulator and a thermal insulator. an electrical insulator would be polyethylene. a thermal insulator would be wool.
What does an insulator do to electrical current?
It stops the flow of the electrical current.

Is plasticine a conductor or insulator?
Plastic is an electrical and thermal insulator.
Is a paper an electrical insulator or conductor?
Paper has of non -conductive or insulator classification when used in electrical terms.
Is vinyl a conductor or an insulator?
Vinyl is an insulator because it has high electrical resistance and does not conduct electricity easily.
