Electricity Test Review

An insulator is material that does what in a current?

• Leaks energy out of the current.   
• Allows a current to pass through it.   
• Doesn’t allow a current to pass through it.    
• Stores energy in the current.

A conductor is material that does what in a current?

• Leaks energy out of the current.  
• Allows a current to pass through it.  
• Doesn’t allow a current to pass through it.  
• Stores energy in the current.
