Plastic is made out of organic (carbon based) molecules which hold on to their electrons rather than contributing them to a common pool as metals do. Hence you do not get the kind of electron mobility needed for electrical conductivity.
9.8 and 10.9
A substance that lets electricity flow through it is called a conductor (or sometimes, to be more explicit, it is called an electrical conductor). Substances which do not permit the flow of electricity are called insulators.
Thank you but is there any other substances that can fit this criteria, particularly any metals. I need to be able to use this substance in extension cords so the substance needs to be inexpensive and common.
This is the most common type of home electrical wire that is installed for general purpose electrical circuits, also known as Type NM or Non-Metallic sheathed cable made up of at least one pair of insulated wire conductors and one bare wire used for the ground conductor. The ground conductor is bonded throughout the home to maintain a contiguous grounded system which originates back at the Main Service Panel.
Jewelry, Electrical conductor, radiation shielding
elastic or resilient, poor conductor of heat, fair electrical insulator.
Out of all the common metals copper is the best electrical conductor. Only silver is slightly better.
i sure hope so. copper is the most common metal used for electrical circuits.
Electricity Wires where it's a good conductor & it's use to make some mechanical parts.
3/0 awg wire
A service technician is much more that a common mechanic. Technicians must not only have working knowledge of automotive mechanics, but be computer literate, be able to diagnose complex problems with electrical and computer systems, and most importantly, be able to communicate those results clearly in writing. Most dealerships will only hire those with experience or directly from factory sponsored training programs.
Soluble ionic compounds are excellent conductors of electricity when dissolved in water - such as sodium chloride (common salt)
Most familiar conductors are metallic. Copper is the most common material used for electrical wiring. Silver is the best conductor, but is expensive. Gold is used for high-quality surface-to-surface contacts. Aluminium too is a good conductor.
Electricity can be conducted by several kinds of charged particles; the most common case is that it is conducted in a metal conductor, by particles called electrons.
The current standard is 12 volt DC. As far as I know this is common throughout the world.
Take the car to a quailified automotive air conditioning repair centre and have the system checked for faults. The a/c system combines electrical, mechanical and refrigeration components.Have it leak tested.That model car used R12 when released, the most common gas used today is R134a, most old systems can be retrofitted after faults are repaired. good luck Take the car to a quailified automotive air conditioning repair centre and have the system checked for faults.
