-An insulator is an object or material where the electrons are tightly bound to the nucleus. This means that the electrons in an insulator can only move very small amounts and must stay close to their nuclei. //**Charges cannot move freely through an insulator.**// Common insulators include: plastic, glass, rubber, paper, wood, etc. +An insulator is an object or material where the electrons are tightly bound to the nucleus.
