Why is copper not a good insulator for a metal wire?
Copper is not a good insulator because it is a conductor of electricity, allowing electric current to flow through it easily. Insulators, on the other hand, have high resistance to the flow of electricity. This is why copper is commonly used as a conductor in electric wires instead of an insulator.
Is copper wire a insulating wire?
No, copper wire is a conducting wire. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, which is why it is commonly used in wiring to allow the flow of electricity. Insulating wire, on the other hand, is designed with materials that prevent the flow of electricity.
The copper is an insulator?
yes copper is actually a very good insulator to both heat and electric conducting A2: NO. Copper is about the second-best electrical conductor, next to silver. It is also a very Good heat conductor. Try heating an iron poker in a fire. The heat travels slowly to the opposite end. A copper wire, however, if stuck in the fire, will transfer heat Very quickly--you won't be able to hold the other end of it! wikipedia.org/copper
Which wire would make the bulb dimmer copper or plastic or gold?
Copper would be the best conductor for the wire to make the bulb brighter, as it allows electricity to flow more easily. Plastic is an insulator and would not conduct electricity, while gold is a good conductor like copper but is less commonly used due to its higher cost.
Can you recycle copper wire?
Yes! It's a metal, so it can be forged into something new. Of course. Copper wire contains copper. You can use a copper wire stripper to remove the insulation and you get copper core or a copper wire gramulator to make them into small copper granules after grinding and separating the insulation.
Is glass a condutor or insulator?
insulator. it is not a very good insulator though.
Is glass insulator or condutor?
insulator. it is not a very good insulator though.
Is glass a thermal condutor or insulator?
insulator. it is not a very good insulator though.
What are defense?
mechanics that act as an insulator or condutor
Why is the copper wire surrounded by plastic?
because plastic is an insulator
Is a steel washer a conductor or insulator?
condutor
Is wire an insulator or conductor?
Wire can be either an insulator or a conductor, depending on its material and properties. Copper wire, for example, is a good conductor of electricity, while rubber-coated wire is used as an insulator to protect against electric shocks.
Why does a copper wire act as an insulator?
It doesn't, it is a conductor of heat and electricity.
Which is the best condutor of heat copper or aluminum?
Copper
What are defense mechanism?
Hiding
Is a potholder a condutor or an insulator?
A potholder is an insulator. Its purpose is to insulate against the heat of the pots that you pick up.
Is saltwater a condutor or insulator?
It conducts electricity. REALLY good conductor.
