What will happen if wires are not insulated?
what may happen if wires are not insulated
WHY do the connecting wires used in electric circuits not produce any heating effect?
because of its covering.
What is meant by over head lines?
The electric wires which come to your house through the tall poles which stand on road side. These wires are called overheadcables
Why doesn't electricity travel down metal utility poles?
The wires that carry electricity are not in contact with the poles, isolated by insulated "bell" spacers and by physical separation. The poles are conductive, as evidenced by lightning hitting them. But they are well grounded and sturdy enough to withstand the strikes. However, a bolt can create inductance that temporarily affects the current flowing through the wires.
Why should the connecting wires in a bulb be of low resistance?
This is to avoid energy losses in the connecting wires.

Why electric wires get hard if its cold?
Unless otherwise specified, electric cables are insulated with a plastic material, which goes stiff in cold. If you ask for it special, you can get wires that are insulated with rubber or silicone instead, which stay soft in cold. But that costs more.
Why aluminium wires are not insulated?
Aluminum wires are insulated.
WHY do the connecting wires used in electric circuits not produce any heating effect?
because of its covering.
Are electrical cords and cable wires for computers TV cable boxes insulated?
Yes, of course they are insulated. If they were not the signals would short out and be unusable. If electric power cords were not insulated they would short out and blow the breaker (or worse start a fire)!
Function of connecting wires?
To conduct an electric signal from one point to another.
What is meant by over head lines?
The electric wires which come to your house through the tall poles which stand on road side. These wires are called overheadcables
Can connecting a specific amount of magnet to one of your electric wires reduce the electricity usage?
No. Your magnet will fight the electricity.

Are wires insulated to keep then warm?
Most are insulated to keep them from grounding out or interference.
How are circuits made?
circuits are made by connecting wires to an electrical resource and the electricity travels through and powers your electric device.
What are insulated wires made out of?
An insulated wire is made of a conductor surrounded by an insulating 'jacket'.
