What are insulated wires made out of?
An insulated wire is made of a conductor surrounded by an insulating 'jacket'.
What is the purpose of a conductor?
to transfer an electrical charge, like a wire
A magnetic field around a current carrying wire forms?
concentric circles around the wire
Where does a magetic field occur in the relation to an electric wire?
it's around the entire length of the wire... AROUND.
Does electricity flow through wire or around its magnetic field?
Eiectricity flows through wire not around the magnetic field.
What is UV rated electrical wire?
The UV reading stands for Ultra Violet resistance. It refers to the outer jacket that surrounds the wires in a cable set. Cables used on surfaces of structures that are exposed to sunlight have to have a UV rating to prevent breakdown of the outer jacket of the cable.
Jacket is the terms desrribes the metallic core of a wire?
The answer is Armor
What is the jacket called that Justin Bieber wears in the music video u smile?
7 for all mankind wire edge jacket
What is the plastic coating on the wire called?
Plastic or rubber is used as insulation around electrical wires, keeping them from contacting other parts of a circuit, and from grounding out to conductive materials. Where insulation is removed or damaged, a spark or short could cause fires or other damage.
What is the purpose of a wire?
it is the brown wire in a three pin plug
What does it mean tan wire?
The color coded jacket is so you can look it up on a wiring diagram for whatever it is to see what the wire goes to.
What are insulated wires made out of?
An insulated wire is made of a conductor surrounded by an insulating 'jacket'.
Why does the wire on a plug have an outer insulation?
For shock protection and shorting out.
What are bundle of wires?
Wire bundles are cables composed of many wires (or wire pairs) in a rope like bundle. They are usually not enclosed in a protective jacket.
How do you make a Wire's Jacket?
A: When a wire is drawn some means of depositing plastic covering to the wire is required so for adhering a very small thread is placed along the wire so the plastic can have some means of adhesion to the plastic
What is the purpose for barbed wire?
to discourage trespassing.
What is 10 3 electrical wire used for?
The 10 refers to the gauge of the wire--how thick it is. The smaller the number, the larger the wire and the more current it can carry. The 3 indicates there are three insulated 10 gauge wires wrapped in an outer jacket. Most circuits are wired with thinner wire--14 gauge copper for 15 amperes and 12 gauge for 20 amperes. 10 gauge wire would be used for a larger load, up to 30 amps; the three conductor wire would be used to connect 240 volts. This would use two "hot" wires and a neutral. In most cases, a fourth grounding wire would be required as well. So 10/3 wire would be used to connect something that takes a lot of power: an electric clothes dryer or large shop tool. It would usually be a dedicated circuit with a 30 amp circuit breaker. Most 10/3 wire now has an orange outer jacket for easy identification, but it is not required to be orange. <<>> 10/3 wire means that there are 3 current-carrying wires plus an earth wire ( 4 wires in total). It can be used for a high-power 240 v appliance.
