Is a Lucite a conductor of electricity?

Lucite is a trade name for poly-methyl methacrylate. Other names for it are Plexiglas, Acrylite, and Perspex. It's used as a substitute for glass, and is not an electrical conductor.


What is the difference between mains electricity and battery operated electricity?

Batteries range in output voltage from 1.2 volts for an AA rechargeable, to 12 volts for a car battery. There may be other voltages, for special purpose applications. Batteries supply DC (direct current), meaning that the current will only flow in one direction.What is considered "mains" electricity (from a plug or receptacle in the wall) is alternating current (the current is oscillating between flowing one direction, then the opposite direction then back and repeats). It oscillates at 50 or 60 times per second, depending on what country you live in. Also the voltage is between 100 volts and 250 volts, depending on the country, as well. These features enable the voltage to be changed up or down rather easily with transformer, and allow the electricity to be transmitted over long distances.But the alternating current and higher voltages also make your mains electricity much more dangerous to touch than a battery. A person's skin has pretty good resistance to electric flow, especially direct current. But with alternating current, if you touch a wire, charges can actually form under the skin and start flowing through your body, because your skin acts as a capacitor. Then, the oscillating current back and forth through your organs is much more damaging, possibly causing your heart to stop pumping.


Can electricity travel through wax?

No, electricity cannot travel through wax as it is an insulator. Insulators such as wax do not conduct electricity and therefore do not allow electric current to pass through them.


What is tiny openings in and between particles of rock or soil that may contain air or water?

Pores are tiny openings between particles of rock or soil that can contain air or water. These pores allow for the movement of gases and liquids through the material.


What is non-conductive?

A material that does not allow electricity or heat to flow easily through it is considered non-conductive. This means it does not conduct electricity, making it suitable for insulating purposes to prevent electrical currents from passing through. Materials such as rubber, plastic, and glass are examples of non-conductive substances.

A conductor - usually copper wire.


Which material will allow electricity to flow between a battery and alight bulb?

A metal conductor, such as copper wire, is commonly used to allow electricity to flow between a battery and a light bulb. Metal conductors have a high number of free electrons that can carry electric current easily.

Why does nonconductive material allow the flow of electricity?

If you mean "dis"allow the flow, it's because electrons cannot travel easily between the atoms of the material.


Which material will allow electricity to flow between the battery and the light bulb?

I guess you mean, between a battery and something else.The generic name for materials which allow an electric current to flow through is "conductor". Specific examples include any metal, graphite, ions in a water solution.


What do you call a material that does not let electricity pass through it?

A material that does not conduct (or allow the 'passage' of) electricity is called an "insulator".


What property of a material determines whether it will allow electricity to flow though it?

The electrical conductivity of a material determines whether it will allow electricity to flow through it. Materials with high electrical conductivity, such as metals, allow electricity to flow easily, while insulators, such as rubber or plastic, do not allow electricity to flow.


What are the chemicals that are in battery's that allow electricity to flow called?

Electolytes


What is the difference between insulator and bad conductor and semi conductor?

an insulator doesn't allows electricity pass from it, a bad conductor allows electricity to pass from it but not fully or completely and a semi conductor pass electricity in little form which used to operate electronics
