Insulators, or nonconductors, are materials with electrons that are tightly bound to their atoms and require large amounts of energy to free them from the influence of the nucleus. Examples of insulators are rubber, plastics, glass, and dry wood. This course introduces participants to electrical insulators and their physical properties. In addition, it describes the various uses of insulators as well as some of the materials that are used as insulators.
