Electrical Conductors and Insulators

What object would best complete this circuit?

• battery

• peice of yarn

• insulator

• 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.
