Not normally, but it could be, say in an alarm system.

What will happen if a paper clip made of metal is placed in an electric circuit?
Metal is an excellent conductor of electricity. So a metal paper clip placed in an electric circuit will conduct whatever current may be in that circuit. If the current is very large, the paperclip may get hot.
What is the only conductor that is not metal?
Water is a conductor that is not metal.
Is metal hanger a conductor or insulators?
conductor its metal
Is paper clip a conductor or insulators?
conductor. We just experimented in science last week.
Is metal coat hanger a conductor or insulator?
yes, it's a metal right? most metals conduct heat very well...
Why does metal complete a circuit when you plug it into an outlet?
Metal is a good conductor of electricity hence it gives an easy path and completes the circuit.
What metal is window frames made out of?
The top horizontal element of a window frame is the head. The bottom horizontal element of the window frame is the sill.
What happens if a conductor was not metal but yarn?
Yarn is a very poor conductor. I you replaced wire in a circuit with yarn, there would be no current flow.
Do vinyl windows stay cooler than metal ones?
Metal transmits heat and cold better than vinyl does, so a metal window frame would heat up quicker and hotter than a vinyl window frame. That temperature change might also affect the insulating properties of the window.
An aluminium window frame feels colder than a wooden window when you touch it?
If the aluminum and wooden window frame are at the same location they must be the same temperature. Since aluminum conducts heat more readily than wood it will conduct body heat away from your hand more readily and feel colder.
When do you say that the circuit is open?
When the conductor between two contacts is a non-conductive material such as air, the circuit is open. WHen the conductor between two contacts is a conductive material such as graphite or ferrous metal, it is closed.
What will happen if a paper clip made of metal is placed in an electric circuit?
Metal is an excellent conductor of electricity. So a metal paper clip placed in an electric circuit will conduct whatever current may be in that circuit. If the current is very large, the paperclip may get hot.
What is the outcome of adding a metal paper clip and then a rubber pencil eraser to a circuit?
A metal clip is a conductor. A rubber is not. If there is a complete circuit (of conducting materials), current will flow - if the circuit is interrupted at any point, for example with the rubber, it won't.
How heavy is a window?
This depends entirely on the size of the window, the number of panes, the style of frame (metal, wood, plastic), and the thickness of the material.
Is it true that to complete the electrical path to the vehicle battery the vehicle's metal frame components are often part of the electrical circuit?
Yes. The metal frame and body of the car is electrical ground.
What is exactly the function of Neutral link in an electrical circuit?
To protect a circuit, we use a fuse or circuit breaker. The fuse or circuit breaker must always be placed in the lineconductor, never in the neutral conductor. So, if we want to completely isolate a circuit from the supply, we must remove the fuse from the line conductor, and open the link in the neutral conductor. A 'link' is a non-fusible metal break point in the neutral.
An aluminium window frame feels colder than a wooden window frame when you touch it explain?
metal assorbs heat works same same with the cold
