What insulates better aluminum or plastic?
Plastic. In general, metals are good conductors, plastics are bad conductors. You didn't specify whether you wanted heat insulation or electrical insultation, but the above applies to both.
What type of resistance do conductors have?
Conductors have a (low) Electrical resistance.
What is the difference between Hot insulation and cold insulation?
Hot insulation can be found in materials that areheat conductors such as aluminum foil where as cold insulationcannot.
What are some good conductors and bad ones?
Good Electrical conductors: All metals, ionic substances (in solution or molten form) Bad Electrical conductors: Water Good Heat conductors: All Metals Bad Heat Conductors: Water
Are high density materials good electric conductors?
They are good electrical conductors.
What is the purpose of insulation tape?
Insulation tape is used to protect exposed electrical conductors or wires. Another term for it would be electrical tape. It is wrapped around wires and other electrical conductors to protect them.
What is one substance sometimes used as an electrical insulator?
Cross-Linked Polyethylene and Polyvinyl Chloride are a couple of insulating materials used for the insulation of electrical conductors. This type of insulation allows the wires an insulation factor of 90 degrees C.
Are Penny's insulators or conductors?
they are Conductors, not much for insulation though.
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.
What insulates better aluminum or plastic?
Plastic. In general, metals are good conductors, plastics are bad conductors. You didn't specify whether you wanted heat insulation or electrical insultation, but the above applies to both.
Are scissors conductors?
They are Conductors, not much for insulation though. Differences between conductors and insulators? Conductors let energy such as electricity .
What are poor conductors of heat used for?
Insulation
Why do electric circuits need to use conductors?
Without conductors, electrons do not flow where you want them to flow. An electrical circuit is a flow of electrons.
What does an electrical current flow in?
Electrical conductors.
What is earth fault?
The current of the earth fault.is appox 1.7amp please verify this with book concepts of physics by h.c. vermabecause i read it few year back and at present i don't have that bookA current that flows from phase conductors to earth or protective conductors etc from the point of an insulation breakdown.
What type of resistance do conductors have?
Conductors have a (low) Electrical resistance.
What is the difference between Hot insulation and cold insulation?
Hot insulation can be found in materials that areheat conductors such as aluminum foil where as cold insulationcannot.
