That is what we are trying to look for smart one -.
this is not a answer dum 1 this is
the insulation will get wet and as it drys it will expand or contract

On a appliance cord what is the conductor and insulator?
On the power cord of an electrical appliance, the only conductor you can see is the two (or three) little prongs on the very end of the cord, that get plugged into the wall. Everything else you can see is insulating material. (If it ever becomes possible to see any conductor anywhere else in the cord, then the cord is damaged and dangerous, and must be replaced.)
Why a down-failled jacket loses its insulating ability when it gets wet?
When down becomes wet, the surface tension of the water causes the down to collapse and it no longer canhold as much air. The air is what insulates.
Why mass not becomes zero after many half lives?
Because the material does not disappear, it breaks down to another material. And in the process relases some radiation.
A material showing perfect conductivity and Meissner effect below a critical temperature?
The Meissner effect refers to the expulsion of magnetic flux when a material becomes superconducting in a magnetic field. A material that shows perfect conductivity is called a superconductor.
What is the meaning of luminous materials?
Luminous means giving off light. Any material becomes luminous if sufficiently heated.
What is the meaning of flexibility in properties of matter?
Elasticity is that property which gives the details of the extent to which the material becomes flexible.
Definition for chemical property?
chemical property is any of a material's properties that becomes evident during a chemical reaction
Why is sakura so weak?
because it becomes gyrados a much stronger and rare dragon type
Why an electric discharge occurs?
The energy of the charge becomes greater than the insulating value of whatever separates the charge from its ground point.
Why don't metals break when pounded into sheets or drawn into wires?
because they are maleable and change shape without breaking due to yield point where material becomes plastic. The metal is strain hardened and becomes stronger
What is the cause of unsymmetrical three phase short circuit?
By definition a short circuit is the path of least resistance of current flowing through a circuit be it three phase or single phase. The main cause of this condition in electrical circuits is an insulation break down. This break down can be caused by overheating of the insulation to a point where the insulation disintegrates from the conductor that it is supposed to be protect. With the insulation missing from the wire there is the possibility of a short circuit to surrounding grounded material. The other cause of insulation break down is from vibration. Unsupported conductors can vibrate against their metallic enclosures to a point where the insulation is just worn away. Once the insulation becomes thin enough the voltage will bridge the insulation threshold and take the path of least resistance to ground and a short circuit will occur.
How dangerous is vermiculite plus asbestos insulation?
Vermiculite insulation containing asbestos is about as dangerous as any other type of insulation that contains asbestos. If it becomes airborne and people breath in the fibers, their risk of contracting an asbestos related disease increases. The amount of increased risk depends on how much asbestos is in the insulation, how much becomes airborne, how long the people are exposed to the airborne fibers, and whether they smoke tobacco products.
What is the name of Glass which becomes opaque when electrified?
The material is referred to as an electorchromic material.
What happens to a material when it loses electron?
a it becomes positively b it becomes negatively charge
What has 2 properties?
Nothing. If something has two properties, you can immediately add a third one which states that is has at least two properties. That becomes its third property and so it no longer has two properties.
Why doesnt the student receive a shock when she stands on a piece of insulating material places her hand on top of a Van de Graaff generator and then turns the generator on?
She is not shocked. She becomes part of the dome of the Van de Graaff, and charges flow onto her body. They do not jump to her body through a spark, so she is not shocked.
Additional steps that occur when a hidden virus multiplies?
The virus's genetic material becomes part of the genetic material of the bacterium And After some time he virus's genetic material removes itself and becomes active
