What metals can't conduct electricity?

By definition, a solid metal, including liquid mercury, in its elemental form should conduct electricity. Under what condition a metal cannot conduct electricity? Normally when a metal is oxidized, the result is highly resistive, but then the oxide film (such as rust) is no longer considered metallic. Some metals, such as sodium, don't normally exist in its elemental form in nature. If these metals are somehow kept out of trouble (air), they too should conduct electricity. ==================================


The dc output of a controlled rectifier is controlled by?

A: An SCR does not produce DC per say but rather is the result of rectification. THE GATE will turn on the SCR when there is enough current available on the SCR. The SCR will not however shut of when the gate potential is reduced or removed. the two way to shut off an SCR is by removing the gate potential AND reducing holding current OR inverting the potential on the anode


What are the three energy conversions that might occur in a power plant?

I think is a fuel in a substance that provides to form of energy such as heat, light, electricity, or motion as the result of a chemical change.


What processes convert electricity into a commercial grade jet fuel while sequestering atmospheric pollutant carbon at the same time?

This is impossible. Electricity is the result of electrons flowing through a conductor while jet fuel is a refined liquid byproduct of oil. As for "pollutant carbon" plants would disagree.


What is phase mismatching?

If you are asking about electricity generation, this is when 2 alternators are not running in sync and they attempt to drive each other as motors for parts of the cycle. This can result in serious damage, both electrical and mechanical!

how mechanical energy converted to electricity?

Well, electricity energy is an energy source. Mechanical energy is the energy of potential energy and kinetic energy. A machine that runs on electricity and uses mechanical energy as a result is the conversion. When energy is converted, a small part is converted into thermal energy, or heat energy. Electricity is also a type of potential energy, because it is stored energy.

What is the result as static electricity charges move off an object?

As static electricity charges move off an object through a discharge, the object then becomes the same potential as the surrounding objects in the area.

How does electricity transform into motion?

Usually an electric motor is used for that. The basic principle is that if a current flows in a conductor (in practice this would be a wire), and the conductor is in a magnetic field, a force will result.


What happens when you shoot electricity through radio active material?

Usually nothing special should happen. Specifically, I wouldn't expect any special effect as a result of the radioactivity.
