The wire is not the problem. Electric current has no trouble going through the
wire. But in order for a current to flow, there must be a complete conducting
path from one side of the power supply to the other side, with no gaps in the
path where there's no conductor. A broken wire has gaps in it where the only
material in the gap is some other material, like rubber, water, or air. Thoise
gaps are the problem, because any of those materials is a poor conductor,
through which electricity cannot go.
What else can I help you with?
How does electricity travel through the house?
Although you cant see them,all over your house there is hundrends of wires passing through walls, and ceilings. The wires have metal in them and electricity passes through the metal and into all sorts of machines that need electricity to power them xx
You are using a bulb whose filament is broken will the bulb glow when connected to battery give reason?
No, the bulb will not glow when connected to a battery if the filament is broken. The filament is the part of the bulb that heats up and produces light when electricity passes through it. If the filament is broken, there is no path for the electricity to flow through and generate light.
Why do insulators prevent electric shocks?
because electricity cant travel through them
Why are electrical wires not made from plastic?
electrical conducters are madfrom metal because charges can travel through metal but rubber is a insulator so the charges cant get throught it so wires are covered with rubber for safety reasons so you don't get a shock.
Why cant electricity pass through insulators?
Electricity cannot pass through insulators because they have high electrical resistance, which hinders the flow of electric current. Insulators have tightly bound electrons that do not move freely, preventing the conduction of electricity. This property makes insulators useful for protecting against electric shocks and for insulating electrical wires.
Why does electricity not pass easily through diamond?
well i suppose it is because there are no free electrons (electricity cant flow without free electrons)
Is rubber is a bad conductor of electricity?
Yes this is because electricity cant run through it very well
How do you know if an object is metallic?
There are certain obvious characteristics of metal that once cant miss. Every metal conducts heat and electricity. All metals can be molded into wires and thin sheets.
Why can't electricity flow through plastic?
Because metal and plastic arent the same materials so metal goes with the flow through static electricity but plastic cant.
How can you tell if someone love's you?
you feel inseparable, you would die for them, you stick with them through anything, or everything, and its really something that cant be broken
Can you keep a miniature horse outside in a coral?
yes but make sure it cant go through the wires and should be at least 1 acre i believe
How does electricity affect your access to technology?
You cant use technology without electricity?
