What is a typical property of a metal?

It has luster, it is usually a good conductor of electricity, it is malleable (able to be pressed into sheets) and ductile (able to be stretched into wires).


Does Vietnam have electricity?

Today Vietnam has electricity. In cities and even villages the Vietnamese population has access to electricity to run their fridges, televisions, air conditioners and computers. If you travel to Vietnam, look up. The electrical wires that are strung from pole to pole are a mass of black cobwebs, tangled webs of wire that are a fire-fighter's/electrician's nightmare. Blackouts are somewhat common due to hurricanes or government mandates in an effort to cut back usage in the summer. Vietnam has one of the fastest growing economies in the world and accessing electricity whether legally or illegally is not an issue for most.


What must a 'wire' be?

A wire is usually a cylindrical length of copper. Its cross-section area has to be about 1/8 sq. mm for each amp of current it has to carry, for normal thin wires that carry currents up to about 30 amps for no more than 2 hours per day. Wires that are too thin waste energy, and in excessive cases can overheat.


How did Thomas Edison's light bulb work?

Electricity goes through the "electrical foot contact", heats up the wires (connected to the tungsten filament) therefore lighting the light bulb up. The filament is supported by wires. The glass mount holds up the two wires connected to the filament. That is how I think the light bulb works. Have a look.

What are all of the names of the appliance wires?

The names of common appliance wires include live, neutral, and ground wires. Live wires carry electrical current, neutral wires complete the circuit by returning current to the source, and ground wires provide a path for electricity to safely discharge in case of a fault.


What are the thick wires called that electricity runs through?

Thick wires that electricity runs through are typically called power cables or conductors. These wires are designed to carry high voltage electricity safely and efficiently from one point to another.


Is there still current in the overhead wires that lead to a house when the house electricity is off?

Assuming there is not a "power outage" to all houses in the area (otherwise known as a "power cut") then the answer is: Yes, the potential (voltage) is still in the overhead wires that lead to a house when the house electricity is only turned off at its own main switch inside the main breaker box.


Metal often used in wires that conduct electricity?

Copper is the most common.


What are the differences between white, green, and black wires in electrical wiring?

White wires are typically neutral wires that carry current back to the power source, green wires are ground wires that provide a safe path for electricity to flow in case of a fault, and black wires are hot wires that carry the current from the power source to the electrical device.
