Generally, certain metals. Gold is prefered, because it doesn't corrode, but it is too soft, and too expensive. Copper and aluminum are the most common.

When an electric charge moves through a conductor there is an electric in the conductor?

When an electric charge moves through a conductor, an electric current is generated in the conductor. The flow of electrons creates a flow of current in the conductor, which is the movement of electric charge through the material.


Is electric cord singular or plural?

What is the conductor and insulator on an appliance cord?

There are two conductors in an appliance cord, separated from each other. Each one is along, thin 'wire' of copper or aluminum, connected at one end to the appliance, and at theother end to one of the prongs on the plug that plugs into the wall outlet.Each conductor is completely enclosed over its entire length in a continuous insulating jacketof plastic, rubber, or cloth, and the two of them are physically combined into a single jacket.If you ever see any of the conductor through a hole in the jacket, then the cord is worn andshould be replaced with a new one.


Why does an electrical cord need both a conductor and a insulator?

The conductor carries the electrical current while the insulator prevents the current from leaking out and causing electric shocks or fires. Both components are necessary for the safe and efficient transmission of electricity.


Why is there no electric field inside a conductor?

Inside a conductor, the electric charges are free to move and redistribute themselves to cancel out any external electric field. This results in no net electric field inside the conductor.

Is green ground in an extention cord?

Yes, the green conductor is the colour of the ground wire in an extension cord. The black wire is dedicated to be the "hot" and the white conductor is the neutral.


On a appliance cord what is the conductor and insulator?

On the power cord of an electrical appliance, the only conductor you can see is the two (or three) little prongs on the very end of the cord, that get plugged into the wall. Everything else you can see is insulating material. (If it ever becomes possible to see any conductor anywhere else in the cord, then the cord is damaged and dangerous, and must be replaced.)
