A bare conductor is a conductor that does not have any type of insulation covering it. Insulated conductors (also known as coated) have a covering that protects them from outside sources.

How do you contain electricity?

There are several ways to "contain" electricity: 1. In a capacitor. A capacitor is a device which can store ("contain") a static electrical charge as potential energy in an electric field. 2. In a battery. A battery is a device which can store ("contain") electrical energy in the form of potential chemical energy either as a result of the original manufacturing process or by reversable means as in a rechargable battery. 3. In an insulated conductor (a wire). An insulated conductor, including a bare conductor in air, gas, or vacuum, contains electricity in the sense that it restricts it to flowing within the conductor only and not "escaping" elsewhere. Some other ways of "containing" electricity essentially constitute capacitors, such as a storm cloud capable of producing lightning. It's a stretch, but one might also consider a generator to "contain" electricity. In any case, be careful!


Can you touch a car battery safely?

No, it is not safe to touch a car battery directly with your bare hands as it can cause electric shock or burns. It is recommended to use insulated gloves or tools when handling a car battery.


Which would feel colder on your bare feet a tile floor or a wooden floor (at the same temperature)?

A tile floor would likely feel colder on your bare feet compared to a wooden floor at the same temperature. This is because tile is a better conductor of heat than wood, meaning it can draw more heat away from your feet, making it feel colder.


In an electromagnet why is it a good idea to use insulated wire?

Using insulated wire in an electromagnet prevents short circuits by insulating the wire from touching other wires or components. This helps to maintain the flow of electrical current through the coil and ensures the magnet functions properly without interference. Additionally, insulation protects against electrical shocks and reduces the risk of overheating.


Would a large bare Field be considered boskey?

No, a large bare field would not be considered bosky. "Bosky" refers to a place that is covered with trees or shrubs, while a bare field is devoid of vegetation.

What does 350 MCM copper weight per foot?

The bare conductor is about 1.05 lb per foot. Insulated wire weight varies by type of insulation.


What is insulated neutral?

Insulated neutral is a grounding system in which the neutral conductor is insulated from ground and only carries current under fault conditions. This helps prevent electric shock and can improve the safety and reliability of the electrical system.


Can a insulated ground wire be used in lieu of a tinned bare ground wire?

No, an insulated ground wire cannot be used in place of a tinned bare ground wire. The grounding wire must have a bare tinned copper conductor to provide a proper and effective path for excess electrical currents to flow safely to ground. Using an insulated wire can create safety hazards and may not meet electrical code requirements.

Is a copper wire a ground wire?

Yes, if it is not an insulated wire. If it is bare copper it is always ground. But the hot and neutral wire are also copper, they are just insulated.
