Yes, paper is generally considered an insulator.
Insulators are materials that do not conduct electricity well. Paper, being made primarily of cellulose fibers from plant sources, has a high resistance to electric current. This property makes it useful in various applications where insulation from electricity is necessary.
However, it’s important to note that the insulating properties of paper can vary depending on factors such as moisture content and thickness. Wet or damp paper can conduct electricity better than dry paper. Therefore, while paper is a good insulator under normal conditions, its effectiveness can be compromised if it is not kept dry.
