Why copper electrical wires need to be wrapped in plastic?

Copper wires are wrapped in plastic to provide insulation and protection against moisture and other potential damage. The plastic coating helps to prevent short circuits and ensures the proper flow of electricity through the wire.


How are the conductors and insulators in the creation of household electric wire?

Copper is ideally used in wires in the creation of a household electric wire. this is because, copper is a very good conductor of electricity. to avoid anyone from getting shocks the copper wires need to be insulated by an insulating material, ideally plastic that is wrapped around them.

How do you get copper out of wire?

Generally speaking, the copper is the wire. If it is coated, it can be stripped in small sections, but if you need to get rid of a large amount of plastic insulation, you will have to find some safe way to burn it off. Safe, in this context, means in a place where the fumes ( which are toxic ) won't bother anyone, and the metal can be removed without danger- preferably after it has cooled.

How do you make a bulb light with a with a fruit?

First, get a zinc electrode and a copper electrode. You can use a zinc coated nail and a penny. Put both of them into the fruit. You might need lots of fruit. Attach them together (in series), copper to zinc, and vice versa. The electrodes of the same fruit can't be wired together. Attach the free ends of the wires to the light, and it should light up!


Can you coat a composite plastic with concrete?

Yes, it is possible to coat a composite plastic with concrete for added strength and durability. The surface of the plastic would need to be properly prepared to ensure good adhesion, and a suitable concrete mix would need to be applied and cured according to the manufacturer's guidelines to achieve a strong bond.


What if there were no copper in the world?

Then there would be no copper in the world. Copper is a good electrical conductor (one of the best, in fact), but silver is even better. Aluminium is also acceptable; the wires need to be larger, but aluminium is less dense so on a pound for pound basis that's still okay.
