They are made using both conductors and insulators: conductors where you do want the electricity to be able to flow and insulators where you want to prevent the electricity from flowing.

If they were made using just one or the other, they could not perform their intended functions.

How can the flow of electric current be altered or modified?

The flow of electric current can be altered or modified by changing the voltage, resistance, or by using devices like switches, resistors, capacitors, and transistors in an electric circuit.


What is the advantages of using switches?

you need switches to help you see. no switches can not help you see.


How can a magnet be used to create an electric current using the words magnetic field attract repel magnetic poles?

A magnet cannot use words to create an electric current. A moving magnet will induce electric current in adjacent conductors. This is usually described in terms of the rate that magnetic flux lines connecting the opposite poles of the magnet "cut" the conductors. The more flux lines cutting the conductors per second, the more current induced.


What are the benefits of using disposal air switches in a kitchen?

Disposal air switches in a kitchen provide a safer and more convenient way to operate garbage disposals. They help reduce the risk of electric shock, are easy to install, and can be placed in a more accessible location than traditional wall switches.


Why 400kVA and above the transmission line have bundled conductor?

To reduce the electric field intensity at the surface of the conductor which can lead to corona discharge and insulation breakdown. By using bundled conductors, the electric field is distributed between the four (in the case of 400-kV lines) conductors, thus reducing the field intensity per conductor.


Are bad conductors of electricity used to cover electrical wires?

No, materials with a high insulation value factor are used to cover electrical wire to provide a barrier from the wire shorting out to ground. By using the term "bad conductors" states that there is conductivity to a degree.


How do you set dip switches?

Some of these switches are easily set by using a "ball point pen" or a paperclip. If you are asking where to set the switches, I need additional specifics about the equipment.


Why you are using semi conductors instead of conductor in electrical devices?

The best property of a semi-conductor is that it doesn't always conduct. This allows you to make very small switches (called transistors) from them which can then be used to make much more complex devices such as the processor in your computer or phone.


What made it difficult for Michael faraday to invent the electric motor?

Prior to Faraday, people thought of electricity as a fluid that flowed through conductors. The concept of an electric field -- the idea that there could be an electric force in the air (or even in a vacuum) -- came from Faraday. Without that concept, building an electric motor is difficult, because the entire idea of making a piece of metal move using only an electric current depends on it.

If you have a light in your kitchen operated by two different switches is it right that you should still get a power reading when the switches are off?

Yes, because the light is using 3-way switches. There is always "power" travelling between the switches.
