Which cable type has a glass or plastic core?

Fiber optic cable has a glass or plastic core that carries light signals for high-speed data transmission over long distances.


Cable consists of inner copper core and a second conducting outer sheath?

The inner copper core carries the electrical signal, while the outer conducting sheath provides shielding and protects against interference and noise. This design helps maintain signal quality and integrity in the cable.


What is an unusual property of the mineral ulexite?

Ulexite has a unique property called fiber-optic effect where it can transmit light along its long axis like a fiber-optic cable. This allows it to display images from one side of the mineral to the other with minimal distortion.


What would happen if you were drawing power in a shed from an outdoor extension cable that was in the rain?

Probably nothing in particular; most extension cables are insulated and waterproof. If there are any non-waterproof parts, it's likely to be the ends; as long as these are kept dry the rain is unlikely to have any effect.


What doe the code of practice stipulate with regard to the use the wire armouring of a cable as an earth continuity conductor?

The code of practice typically requires that the wire armouring of a cable should not be solely relied upon as the primary earth continuity conductor. It is recommended to have a separate dedicated earth continuity conductor within the cable to ensure proper grounding and safety. The wire armouring can be used as an additional layer of protection or as a supplementary earth path, but not as the primary conductor.
