insulating properties

Insulating properties refer to a material’s ability to resist the transfer of heat or electricity. An effective insulator slows down the flow of heat, keeping warmth in during cold weather or out during hot weather. Similarly, electrical insulators prevent electric current from passing through unintended paths, ensuring safety and efficiency. These properties depend on the material’s structure and composition; materials with central air pockets or low thermal/electrical conductivity serve as good insulators. Overall, insulation helps maintain desired temperatures and protects against electrical hazards by reducing unwanted energy transfer.
