Is straw a conductor or insulator?
Dry straw is an insulator.
What is the job of an insulator?
Thermal insulator, prevent heat loss and protect human or machine from heat. Electrical insulator, prevent human and machine from electrical hazard and prevent short circuit that would damage electrical appliance.
What does friction prevent?
electrictical shock
Why stand on wood to avoid electric shock?
Dry wood can be used as an insulator against being grounded, which would help to avoid electric shock.
Does a good insulator prevent thermal energy from flowing through it?
The insulator slows the transport of energy, so effectively stops it
Does shoes with rubber soles prevent electric shocks?
well rubber is an insulator and does not conduct electricity so this might help prevent anelectricity shock.
How make electricity use safe?
Surround the current by an insulator, such as rubber, to prevent the electric shock from leaving the wire or other conductor. Also make sure it is grounded because shock isn't possible on a grounded object.
What does the insulator do in a light bulb?
The insulator in a light bulb prevents us from getting an electric shock.
How does a transformer prevent shock?
Transformers don't prevent shock
Is straw a conductor or insulator?
Dry straw is an insulator.
What is the job of an insulator?
Thermal insulator, prevent heat loss and protect human or machine from heat. Electrical insulator, prevent human and machine from electrical hazard and prevent short circuit that would damage electrical appliance.
List three examples of how insulators are used?
rubber or plasic is used as an electical insulator to cover wires to prevent against elecric shock. Gloves are used over hands as a thermal insulator to prevent burns while holding hot objects. insulated footwear are used when working in an enviorment dealing with many exposed live wires.
How do you make a insulator that can not make ice melt?
to make an insulator prevent ice from not melting is to use tinfoil and dirt.
What does An insulator?
an insulator- to prevent or reduce the transfer of electricity,heat,or sound by surrounding or lining with a non-conducting material.
Why dont you feel a shock when you turn off a switch?
You can't feel a shock because there is a insulator which insulates the flow of electricity. That's why you can't feel a shock when you turn off a switch.
What does friction prevent?
electrictical shock
Does plastic prevent shock?
yes!
