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? :)
What else can I help you with?
What are telephone wires made of?
Mainly all telephone wires are made of copper with a plastic coating for insulation. Older form of telephone wire had a paper or pulp insulation over the copper wire. They are also a twisted pair cable.
Can you measure AC current on a power cord?
Not very easily. A clamp on amp meter has to go around only one of the circuit conductors. If the clamp on meter is used around the power cord the two wires in the cord have a cancellation effect and the meter will read zero. If you can separate the load's wires that plug into the cord and clamp around that wire you will get a load amperage reading.
What is the result on the meter reading of clamping the jaws of a clamp-on ammeter around two wires?
If the two wires are on a parallel feed you would read the current through the parallel feeders. If the two wires are "hot " to the load and return back from the load the meter will read zero. The two magnetic fields that surround the wires when a current flows through them will cancel each other. As a result of this there will be no magnetic induction induced into the sensing coil of the clamp on meter.
How does a pylon work?
A pylon holds up the wires carrying electricity. If there were no pylons the wires would drag onto the floor and if you were to tread on them you would get electrocuted by the wires.
Where can you get wiring diagrams for the radio system on a 2001 Echo with a 1.5 and for a Kenwood CD deck?
There are three plugs in the back of an Echo radio. Before I blew the fuse, this is what I had figured out. The black one, of course, is the antenna. The other two plugs are white(5 wires) and blue(8 wires). The white plug is mainly speaker wires. The blue plug has speaker wires and the power and ground wires. White plug: Black and Gold wires --- right speaker(not sure front or back) Red and White wires --- left speaker(not sure front or back) (Not sure about the white/green striped wire) Blue plug: Purple and Pink wires --- speaker(not sure L or R, front or back) Green and teal wires --- speaker(not sure L or R, front or back) (Not sure about the green wire) Power in blue plug: Grey wire --- Main power(thru ignition) Teal/yellow striped wire --- Accesary power(constant for stations or clock, etc...) White/black striped wire --- Ground As far as the Kenwood, I don't know. That's the wiring, now if anyone can tell me where the fuse is, I would be ever so appreciative. [Fuse box is located below the steering wheel and to the left, in a storage compartment, you must pull back the plastic cover labled "fuse" and the diagram is on the back of that cover. The ACC fuse is for the radio & cig lighter power.]
Is plastic wrapped around the electric wires is a good conductor?
Plastic wrapped around the wire is insulator. Not a conductor. That is why it is wrapped around the conductor wire.
A coil of wires wrapped around a core?
A coil of wires wrapped around a core is an electromagnet.
Why copper electrical wires need to be wrapped in plastic?
Copper wires are wrapped in plastic to provide insulation and protection against moisture and other potential damage. The plastic coating helps to prevent short circuits and ensures the proper flow of electricity through the wire.
Why is plastic wrapped around the wires?
Electrical wiring is coated with an insulating material to protect people, animals, objects and other circuits from shock and to protect the circuit of which the wire is a part from shorts and surges. Bag ties are coated to protect the user from cuts and punctures.
Why is plastic wrapped around metals in wire?
It prevents the wire making contact with other wires and shorting out. It protects the wire from erosion and allows the user to identify what each wires role is within the harness
What are types of insulaters?
The types of insulators can berubber , plastic , anything that cant attract energy or heat like how theirs rubber wrapped around the metal wires the rubber protect you from getting shocked.
When an electric current is run through wires wrapped around an iron core creates what?
Electromagnetism
Plastic is wrapped around live wire to prevent electrocution. why is plastic used to cover electrical wires?
You more or less just answered your own question. Most plastics are not good conductors, so the best path to ground for the electricity flowing in the wire is to stay in the wire rather than jumping through the plastic (poor conductor) and person (middling-to-fair conductor).
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 are the conductors and insulators in the creation of household electric wire?
Copper is ideally used in wires in the creation of a household electric wire. this is because, copper is a very good conductor of electricity. to avoid anyone from getting shocks the copper wires need to be insulated by an insulating material, ideally plastic that is wrapped around them.
What is the twisted wire pair?
Ethernet cable. 8 wires in 4 pairs. The wires are twisted around each other and covered with a plastic tube to help prevent interference. The wires are also each in plastic.
How are conductors and insulators used in the creation of household electricity wire?
