    2 / -0

    Which among the following is the best insulator of electricity?

Because rubber is a good insulator, it is used on the outside of wires that are used to conduct electricity. An insulator is a material that reduces or stops the flow of an electrical current. Rubber provides protection from the dangers of electrical charges being carried through the metal conductors. Rubber has a conductivity of 10-14 S/m or a resistivity of 1013 ρ at 20°C.
