Dear Sreekanth
                         An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely, and therefore make it nearly impossible to conduct an electric current under the influence of an electric field

Hello Sreekanth
                            Insulator is a noun that means a material with little electrical or thermal conductivity. Any material that keeps energy such as electricity, heat, or cold from easily transferring through is an insulator. Wood, plastic, rubber, and glass are good insulators.

DEAR SREEKANTH,
Insulator is material or the object which does not allow flowing of electrons through it wood is a insulator for electricity

A material or an object that does not easily allow heat, electricity, light, or sound to pass through it. Air, cloth and rubber are good electrical insulators.these are called insulators.

                            insulators are defined as a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely, and there fore make it nearly impossible to conduct an electric current under the influence of an electric field.

in a conductor, eletric current can flow freely, in aan insulator it cannot. metals such copper typify conductors..,.
