Does bakelite is a poorest insulator?

The poorest insulator would be the best conductor, which is one of the noble metals. Bakelite is a fairly good insulator, not too long ago electrical fittings were made from it.


Why is the handle of the screwdriver made of an insulator?

One thing that tradesmen are taught is that you do not depend on the insulation factor of your tool handles to save you from an electrical shock. The fact that tool handles are made of insulating materials is coincidental. The handle material has to be comfortable in the hand, has to be cheap to produce and that it is an insulating material is secondary.All electrical work should be done in the off condition for safety purposes and it does not matter if the handle is an insulating material or not.


Can duct tape be used on electrical projects?

it can be used but i would not recommend it. I would recommend going out to lowes or home depot and getting electrical tape. It is better for electrical projects and it can cost less than duct tape.Electrical Tape provides stretching and waterproofing qualities, electrical tape is non-conductive and is used to cover and insulate electrical splices and for other electrical uses.Duct Tape should be used for its original purpose only - temporary, emergency repairs.Please do not take chances especially when dealing with electricity. Duct tape is not designed for electrical work. Stay safe and use the appropriate tools and materials for the job. In addition, if you are doing this yourself and the job is electrical home wiring (outlets, etc.), I would recommend you do not. In most states this requires a licensed electrician. Please to not put yourself and/or family in jeopardy, its just not worth it.


What is the need for electrical shutdown?

You would need to shutdown the power whenever you are working on the electrical service.


What is electrical energy transmission?

I would guess it refers to transmitting energy using an electrical current.

An example of a insulator?

An insulator has several different meanings. The two most common are an electrical insulator and a thermal insulator. an electrical insulator would be polyethylene. a thermal insulator would be wool.


Objects that stop the flow of electricity are good insulators what materials would be the best insulator for an electrical wire?

Plastic Tubing.


What kind of insulator would stop conduction?

A material that is a good insulator, such as rubber, plastic, or glass, would stop conduction of electricity. These materials have high resistance to the flow of electrons, preventing electrical currents from passing through them.


Which of these would make a good electrical insulator?

rubber


Which these would make good electrical insulator?

Materials such as rubber, glass, and plastic are commonly used as good electrical insulators due to their high resistance to the flow of electricity. These materials do not conduct electricity well and are able to inhibit the transfer of electric current, making them suitable for use in electrical insulation.


Is sponge a electrical conductor or insulator?

An insulator or neither. The water inside of the sponge is what would conduct electricity.


Materials that do not conduct electrical charges at all are called insulators?

No material exists that doesn't conduct electrical charges at all. We call materials that conduct electrical charges poorly insulators; a material that didn't conduct electricity at all would be a perfect insulator.


Would make the best insulator against the flow of electricity?

Materials with high electrical resistivity, such as rubber, glass, and plastic, make good insulators for preventing the flow of electricity. These materials have tightly bound electrons, which makes it difficult for electrical charge to move through them.


Would glass be a elecrical insulators?

Yes, glass is an electrical insulator.


Which materials would be the best insulator for an electrical wire?

Some common materials used as insulators for electrical wires include rubber, PVC (polyvinyl chloride), and fiberglass. These materials have high resistance to electrical current and are able to withstand the heat and stress from the electricity flowing through the wire. Choosing the best insulating material depends on the specific application and the voltage requirements.


What would make good electrical insulator?

An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely. Rubber, glass, paper, and Teflon, which have high resistivity, are very good electrical insulators.


Is a Fan a conductor or a insulator?

a insulator, because electrical cannot be transeverd.
