a conductor is a thing where electricity can move through or very easy like metal and a non conductor is a thing where electricity can't move through or very hard like wood or plastic

Is rubber electrically nonconductive?
Yes. Rubber is electrically nonconductive.
Which materials are nonconductive?
gold silver and copper can not be conducted.
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 conductive and non-conductive?
Conductive materials: they are good conductors of heat or electricity. Nonconductive materials: they are not good conductors of heat or electricity.
Why does nonconductive material allow the flow of electricity?
If you mean "dis"allow the flow, it's because electrons cannot travel easily between the atoms of the material.
What cable rating is used in an environmental air area?
Plenum (OFNP - Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum) Source: www.extron.com/company/article.aspx?id=decipheringapp
Can you use Duct Tape for Ethernet Cat6 Cable?
Duct tape is nonconductive, and is not CAT6. If you have a damaged CAT6 cable, you could put duct tape over the damaged area, but there is no guaruntee the damage won't cause the cable to underperform (your network may not work at 1Ghz).
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 :)
Does distill water conduct electricity?
distilled water is pure H20 therefore there are no minerals or other crap in it that will conduct electricity. although technically you can run a very high voltage circuit with few amps through the few ions it has, it will not conduct a circuit your thinking of, so no :)
Which material would make the best wire for an electric circuit?
If conductivity were the only issue, silver would be the best but it is expensive.Considering both cost and conductivity both copper and aluminum are good choices, but aluminum cannot be soldered and its oxide is hard and nonconductive causing interconnection resistance to rise over time and has caused house fires.
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.
Why Good quality electric wires are made of copper?
Because copper has both very good electrical conductivity and is relatively low cost.Silver has better electrical conductivity but is very high cost.Aluminum also has both very good electrical conductivity and is relatively low cost, but has the drawback that its oxide is nonconductive which can present a long term fire hazard if it is used for electric wires.etc.
