Why do some electrical appliances have paper strips that you have to pull out?

Because paper is an insulator of electricity, this means that the electricity cannot pass through. Therefore until the paper is removed, the circuit is broken.


Can electricity pass through tissues?

If the voltage is very high (kilovolts), it will create an arc and burn through the paper.


What allows electricity to pass through it?

An object which is a conductor allows electricity to pass through it


How are superconductors different from insulators?

Superconductors are materials that let current or electricity pass through them. Insulators are materials that don't allow current or electricity to pass through them. Superconductors are mostly all metals. Insulators are wood, plastic, and paper.


What is the difference between conductors and ilsulators?

CONDUCTOR: those objects which can pass electricity through them is known as conductors. the conductors can pass electricity through them due to free electrons present in them. for example: iron, copper, aluminium etc.INSULATOR: those objects which can not pass electricity through them is called insulator. the insulators can't pass electricity due to less or absence of free electrons. for example paper, wood, rubber etc


Materials that allow electricity to pass through them also allow water to pass through them is this is right or wrong?

Wrong. Water will pass through paper but low voltage electrity will not. Electricity will pass through copper and other metals, but water will not. Water is a good conductor of electricity but so is steel and copper. However water will not pass through them unless they are in the form of tubing In the UK pipework (Gas and Water) in properties should be earthed to protect against electrocution.


Can heat and electricity pass through metals?

Yes, heat and electricity can pass through metals.


Can electricity pass through salted water?

yes electricity can pass through salt water .salt is an ionic compound which can conduct electricity


What differentiates insulators and conductors?

insulators do not allow electricity to pass through them whereas conductors allow electricity to pass through them.


What materials allow heat to pass through and electricity?

metals have the ability to pass and conduct electricity and heat through them....


How does electron pass through electricity?

An electron is electricity as we know it. Electrons flow through a conductable element and that is electricity.


Can electricity pass through the atmosphere of earth?

Yes, it is possible. We can see the high voltage electricity can pass through the atmosphere. When cloud makes the thunder then we can see that high voltage pass through the air.
