What can copper be made into?
Cooper is made into many things such as pennies and electricity wires
What is a typical property of a metal?
It has luster, it is usually a good conductor of electricity, it is malleable (able to be pressed into sheets) and ductile (able to be stretched into wires).
Does Vietnam have electricity?
Today Vietnam has electricity. In cities and even villages the Vietnamese population has access to electricity to run their fridges, televisions, air conditioners and computers. If you travel to Vietnam, look up. The electrical wires that are strung from pole to pole are a mass of black cobwebs, tangled webs of wire that are a fire-fighter's/electrician's nightmare. Blackouts are somewhat common due to hurricanes or government mandates in an effort to cut back usage in the summer. Vietnam has one of the fastest growing economies in the world and accessing electricity whether legally or illegally is not an issue for most.
How did Thomas Edison's light bulb work?
Electricity goes through the "electrical foot contact", heats up the wires (connected to the tungsten filament) therefore lighting the light bulb up. The filament is supported by wires. The glass mount holds up the two wires connected to the filament. That is how I think the light bulb works. Have a look.
What must a 'wire' be?
A wire is usually a cylindrical length of copper. Its cross-section area has to be about 1/8 sq. mm for each amp of current it has to carry, for normal thin wires that carry currents up to about 30 amps for no more than 2 hours per day. Wires that are too thin waste energy, and in excessive cases can overheat.
How do wires work?
they carry a flow of electricity
How many volts does electricity in your house carry which can cause you electric shock or even death if you touch the live wires?
!,22@
What element is used for wires that carry electricity?
Copper
How electricity gets to the house?
By wires.
How does electricity get to a house?
it goes through the wires connected to your house
How does electricity travel to your house?
It travels though wires
Metal often used in wires that conduct electricity?
Copper is the most common.
What did railroads use to conduct electricity along railroad?
The early railroads established "polelines" to carry telegraph wires and electricity alongside the railroad tracks. These looked like what are called telephone poles today, but could have large "crossarms" at the top to carry many wires. These began with just 2 or 4 wires for telegrph use, which later had 2 wires for electricity added. As technology advanced, more wires were added to control trains and send other messages along the lines.
Does a wire have to be insulated for electricity to flow?
No, overhead primary wires have no insulation on them and they carry the electricity to the consumers very well. Wires with no insulation on them just need more clearance space around them and between them to prevent the wires from short circuiting to each other or to ground.
How can solar panels send electricity to different parts of the house?
Solar panels generate electricity, direct current. This is normal electricity. It can travel along wires into batteries in your house, or it can go through an inverter and become alternating current which can be sold back to electricity companies. Whichever kind, it still travels along wires, just the same as bought electricity.
What does insulators mean in electricity?
Insulation covers the copper wires that carry electricity to prevent shorting or electrocution. Without insulation, the bare wires could cause an electrical fire, or an electric shock, possibly resulting in death.
What are electrical conductors used for?
Conductors are wires that carry the volts and current to and from a device that needs electricity to run.Other answersConductors are the transport media for free electrons to travel along in the form of a current.The use of a conductor is to carry electricity. For example, a length of copper wire is called a conductor when it is used to carry electricity.
