What else can I help you with?
What do conductors and insulators do?
Conductors transmit, while insulators don't. Usually, they transmit electricity and/or heat. Usually, they poorly transmit electricity and/or heat (insulators). Usually, the classification by electricity or by heat is highly corrected.
What does electrica?
Static electricity is the accumulation or build up of electricity charges on the surface of a material, usually an insulator or non-conductor of electricity.
Steller distances are usually expressed in what units?
Astronomical Units, parsecs, light years, take your pick.
Does an iron nail conduct electricity?
Yes they do, they have approximately .3 volts of conductivity.
Why dont you have a choice in electricity suppliers?
The choice in electricity suppliers is usually limited by location. Considering the price of wiring and poles, most places do not have more then one provider.

Why are copper and aluminum wires usually employed for electricity transmission?
Copper and aluminum wires are used for electricity transmission because they are highly conductive, have low resistance to the flow of electricity, and are relatively inexpensive. Additionally, both metals can easily be drawn into long, thin wires, making them ideal for transmitting electricity over long distances.
What is serial transmission?
Serial transmission is a method of transmitting data where one bit is transmitted after another in a single wire. Serial transmission is usually used to transmit data between two computers as it is less expensive, yet at a cost of a slightly slow speed. A minimum of two wires is needed for serial transmission, which is less compared to a minimum of eight wires in parallel transmission. Serial transmission is used to send data over long distances as the bits are less likely to get out of order. It is used in devices such as modems, bar code readers and light pens .
What are the physical properties of metals non metals and noble gases?
metals conduct heat, transmit electricity, and are usually ductile. non-metals do not conduct heat well, do not transmit electricity and can't be hammered into shapes. noble gases cannot combine with any other elements.
How are step up transformers used in the transmission of electric energy?
Step-up Transformers used in the transmission of electrical energy increase the voltage going over Transmission Lines (over 100,000 Volts). For a given amount of POWER to be Transmitted, the higher the Voltage, the LOWER the CURRENT. This reduces the amount of Power LOST to the Resistance of the Transmission Lines. Power Lost is calculated by the Formula: POWER Lost = I2 x R, where I=Current and R=Resistance So, the lower the Current (I), the lower the transmission line losses. At the end of the Transmission Path the Voltage is "Stepped Down" to a value usable for the Customer, usually (220 volts for Residential use in the USA).
What are insulators and condocturs?
Insulators are materials that do not allow electricity to flow through them easily, typically due to their high resistance. Conductors, on the other hand, are materials that allow electricity to flow through them easily, usually because they have low resistance. Conductors are used to transmit electricity, while insulators are used to prevent the flow of electricity.
What type of waves do fluids transmit and why?
fluids usually transmit only what type of waves
What unit is used to measure distances on land?
It depends on what you are trying to measure. Long distances usually are measured in miles. Survey distances usually are measured in feet.
Is the earth also like a giant battery?
No. Electricity pylons (usually called "transmission towers" in the US) are basically just supports for the wires. They are specifically designed to be insulated from the electricity flowing through the wires.
How does a machine transfer electricity?
A machine transfers electricity by drawing in electrical energy from a power source and converting it into mechanical energy to perform a task, such as moving parts or generating heat. This process usually involves components like wires, capacitors, transformers, and motors to transmit and utilize the electricity efficiently within the machine.
Why are tables listing distances in kilometers usually not used in the US?
Tables listing distances in kilometers are usually not used in the US because the US measures distances in miles, not in kilometers.
How do satellite transmit data earth?
Usually by radio.
