What does pollution degree for a light dimmer mean?

Pollution Degree 1: No pollution or only dry, nonconductive pollution occurs. The pollution has no effect. Pollution Degree 2: Normally only nonconductive pollution occurs. Temporary conductivity caused by condensation is to be expected. Pollution Degree 3: Conductive pollution or dry nonconductive pollution that becomes conductive due to condensation occurs. To be found in industrial environment or construction sites (harsh environments). Pollution Degree 4: The pollution generates persistent conductivity caused by conductive dust, rain, or snow.


What is the difference between resistance and insulation?

Resistor is a current a insulator is a not conductive and conductors can conduct.


Is rubber electrically nonconductive?

Yes. Rubber is electrically nonconductive.


Is NaCl conductive?

Not as a solid, but dissolve it in water and the ions help electricity conduct through the saltwater. Totally pure water will hardly conduct electricity. The impurities in the water are what allows current to flow.


Difference between hygiene and sanitation?

Sanitation is the state of being clean and conductive to health whereas hygiene is a condition promoting sanitary practises. :)


What is the difference between plating and coating?

Plating is used for conductive materials while coating is used for non-conductive materials. My brass horn is silver plated while patio table is plastic coated.


What are the differences between conductive and nonconductive rubber?

When a material is identified as conductive it means that an electrical current can pass through that material. Some materials do not readily conduct electricity through the material, but will dissippate static electricity so that there is not a build up of charge on the material. Humidity and applied voltage can make a big difference on how effective the less conductive or the dissipative materials respond. Some other details about how fast a charge is released and so forth are also considerations when determining a materials response to electrical energy. In short, a conductive rubber has a Ohm resistance no larger that about 1,000,000 Ohms (often referred to as Ohms/square). Dissipative rubber has a resistance of about 1,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 Ohms. "Anti-Static" rubber is about 1,000,000,000 to 1,000,000,000,000 Ohms. Anything over this is considered insulative rubber. (refer to Boedeker.com for more detailed information).


Explain the difference between conductive and nerve deafness?

Conductive deafness is caused by the bones in the middle ear to pass on sound vibrations to the inner ear. Nerve deafness may be caused by a disease or some other event that injures the cochlear nerve.


What two things are needed to make electrons move along a wire?

-- voltage difference (electromotive force) between the ends of the wire; -- conductive substance comprising the wire.


What is the difference in conductivity of concentrated and diluted acetic acid?

diluted is more conductive


What is a a electrically nonconductive material?

any material that will not allow electricity to pass through it. rubber, plastic, some electrically conductive materials are metals, esp. gold, water, neon gases insulators, glass, paper :)


Difference between de-mosfets e-mosfets and jfets?

The basic theory of operation is the same, but the device structure is different. With both a MOSFET and a JFET, a conductive channel is established between two terminals (the drain and the source). The structure of the gate terminal makes the difference between the two. In a MOSFET, the metal gate is separated from the channel by an insulator (the O in MOSFET means Oxide, the insulator). In a JFET the gate is a doped region essentially within the conductive channel.
