What else can I help you with?
Why do you use conducting wires to cover electrical cords attached to household appliances?
I believe you've managed to turn wires inside out. (conducting) wires are covered in insulating plastic. And it is done this way to prevent electrical energy from going where it is not wanted, such as into you.
Can you splice wires in an electrical panel?
yes wires is electrical panel
What safety precautions apply to trailing power leads?
For safety precautions trailing power leads should be individually capped off. This can be done using a plastic tape designed especially for electrical wires or a permanent plastic cap.
Does plastic protect you from electric current?
No, practically all plastic is an insulator. An insulator does not carry any electrical currents. A conductor can carry a current. "What plastics are conductive?", you may ask -- see link below.
Why shouldn't you pull on electric cables?
The chance of causing a break in the wire, or damage to the wire covering or coating. Also, it is not that you shouldn't pull on cables as in running electrical conduit in a building, it is common that the electrician has to "Pull"the wires through the conduit. The electrician generally knows how hard he can pull without damaging or chafing the wires.
Why electrical wires have plastic covering?
Electrical wires have plastic covering as when electric current flows through the copper wires and mistake we hold it so we may get an electric shock.
What is the role of insulators such as plastic rubber and cloth covering wires and other conductors in a circuit?
Insulators such as plastic, rubber, and cloth covering wires and conductors in a circuit serve to prevent electricity from flowing where it's not supposed to go. They help to protect against electrical shocks, short circuits, and fires by providing a barrier that restricts the flow of current to the intended path.
What kind of material are wires made of?
plastic is the answer .
What are the plastic pipes called that wires run through?
The pipes are PVC electrical conduits.
What is the best known insulator of electricity?
The most common electrical insulator is the plastic coating on electrical wires. Hope this helps!
Why do wires often have plastic wrapped around them?
Well plastic is a insulator which causes the electrons (also known as electricity) to stay in place. So wires are electrical conductors which means electrons to flow through it and since humans are "fair" electrical conductors it will cause us to get shocked from the electrical charges. Understand? :)
Why do electrical wires covered with rubber?
AnswerBecause, it is a good insulator and won't conduct electricity. It is also flexible.It coated by rubber or plastic

Why do wires have plastic around them?
The plastic around wires, known as insulation, protects the wire from damage and helps prevent electrical shocks. It also helps to prevent wires from short circuiting when they come into contact with each other or metal surfaces.
How do you remove the front speakers in a 1993 jeep wrangler Sahara?
think you take the plastic covering off and undo the wires and unbolt it
Why are electrical wires not made from plastic?
electrical conducters are madfrom metal because charges can travel through metal but rubber is a insulator so the charges cant get throught it so wires are covered with rubber for safety reasons so you don't get a shock.
Is plastic a insulator or condocter?
Plastic is an insulator. It does not easily conduct electricity because its molecular structure does not allow for the flow of electrons. This property is why plastic is used to cover and insulate electrical wires.
