Why are electric wires made out of metal instead of rubber?
Metal is a very good conductor of electricity. Rubber doesn't conduct electricity.
What is material that is often used to insulate wires that conduct electricity called?
plastic
Why are copper wires used as the connecting wires?
Copper is a metal and as such it can conduct electricity very well. Additionally, copper is a very good conductor off heat when compared to the more abundant metals such as aluminium.
Why do wires have plastic around them?
The plastic won't let the electricity conduct through it
Why does electricity moves faster through thick wires than thin wires?
You should think of the wires like a river, a small stream can only let so much water past. A large river can transport more current, faster. Two wires made of the same substance, but of different sizes will not transfer electrons equally, because there is less metal to conduct the electricity in the smaller wire. Also, metal has shared electrons, this is why metal reflects light the way it does, and why it works so well as a conductor, the electricity literally just flows right through it! I hope that helps you out :D

i was thinking copper
Metal often used in wires that conduct electricity?
Copper is the most common.

plastic
Is wire metal?
Metal wires are single strands of flexible material often used to carry electrical currents, telecommunication signals, and hold mechanical loads.
What kind of solutions don't conduct electricity?
One solution that will not conduct electricity is pure water. The reason is that it needs a dissociated ionic compound that can mix with water when detached, and then it will be unable to conduct.
What are the functions for metal wires in a computer microprocessor?
Conduct electricity, of course. They connect signals from point to point in the circuit like in all electronics.
What is metal that is often used in wires that conduct electricity?
Copper (Cu) is the most common metal used in conducting wire. If you have the money the best conductor (excluding super cooled super conductors) would be pure silver (Ag).
What do the wires in the middle of a light bulb do?
The filament is made of tungten and these 'wires' (filament) conduct electricity.
Why are copper wires used as the connecting wires?
Copper is a metal and as such it can conduct electricity very well. Additionally, copper is a very good conductor off heat when compared to the more abundant metals such as aluminium.
A substance that can conduct electricity and can be stretched in to copper wires are called what?
Quartz.
What wires are what on a vectra b Lexus light?
