What object would best complete this circuit?

• A battery
• a peice of yarn
• an insulator
• a conductor

The metal copper is there to:

• Provide a conductor for energy to flow from one place to another.
• Provide an insulator for energy to flow from one place to another.
• Provide an insulator to slow the flow of energy.
• Provide a conductor so slow the flow of energy.
