Why is there a flex on a plug?
Because after the plug is plugged in, there has to be some way of conducting the power away. That is achieved by cable or flex, using copper wires that are insulated for safety and other reasons.
Why are copper wires used in as connecting wires?
The copper wires used connect. Because conductivity of Cooper higher than aluminium but price of Cooper higher than aluminum. If compare between copper and aluminium cable can see at the same current rate diameter of aluminium cable is larger than copper cable.
Why copper cable better than aluminium cable?
Copper cable doesn't conduct as well as Aluminum , but for most applications, Copper doesn't heat up as quickly as Aluminum, and is stronger in tensile strength. Also when using Aluminum cable you need to use an oxide to help conduct as Aluminum will work loose from locks in time.
What can copper cable do?
One of the major functions of copper cable is to conduct electricity. It is also quite malleable and can be moulded to many forms. You can also make it very thin for more effective wires.
Where can Copper be found in Canada?
Copper can be found in BC and Alberta
What are battery cable wires made of?
copper
What are twisted pair cable wires made of?
if by "twisted pair cable" you mean a cat5 cable which is commonly used as an ethernet cable. then it´s made of copper.
What is the metal part of the cable for?
The inside metal part of a cable is usually made of copper and is where, if it is an electrical cable, the electricity is conducted.
Different between fiber optical cable and copper cable?
Fiber optic cable is constructed out of glass or plastic, and uses light pulses to transmit data. Copper cable is made out of copper material (not glass or plastic) and uses electrical voltages to transmit signals.
What material is the cable grip made of in a plug?
sorry i do not know
Is twisted-pair cable is made up of plastic or glass fibers that transmit data at extremely fast speeds?
Twisted-pair cables are made out of copper, they are shielded with plastic to prevent electromagnetic interference but the actual cable is made out of copper.
Why is there a flex on a plug?
Because after the plug is plugged in, there has to be some way of conducting the power away. That is achieved by cable or flex, using copper wires that are insulated for safety and other reasons.
The common mistakes of wiring a 3 pin plug?
-wire can be taken straight to the pin and not positioned in plastic 'valley' (usually mistake made in earth wire) -wire cut when outer cable is removed -cable grip clamped onto three wires instead of cable -loose copper wires visible.
What are the two wires inside the cable of a hairdryer made from?
Most likely insulated copper.
Why aluminium cable cost less than copper cable?
copper cost more to mine then aluminum so aluminum will cost less then copper cable.
What difference between copper cable and optical cable?
A copper cable transports electrical signals. An optical cable transports light signals.
What is a good cable to run speaker under the carpet?
Any kind of cable made of copper is good because of the need for increased conductivity.
