insulator
The opposite of a conductor (conducts electric flow) is a non-conductor, or something that opposes the flow, which would be an insulator.
Plastic or rubber is used as insulation around electrical wires, keeping them from contacting other parts of a circuit, and from grounding out to conductive materials. Where insulation is removed or damaged, a spark or short could cause fires or other damage.
no it is good conductor because it has free electrons
Because they'll be joined with a connector of some sort (I work in automotive, so it's usually butt connectors). Inside that connector will be metal which will help transfer electrical energy from one wire end to the wire end of the one it's being connected to... plastic is an insulator, and if it's left there, it'll inhibit the flow of electricity.
There are a variety of wire coverings depending on what the conductor is used for. There are also different wire coverings for different temperatures where the conductor will be used. To answer the question the wires in a circuit are covered in insulation.
Wire can be either an insulator or a conductor, depending on its material and properties. Copper wire, for example, is a good conductor of electricity, while rubber-coated wire is used as an insulator to protect against electric shocks.
Plastic wrapped around the wire is insulator. Not a conductor. That is why it is wrapped around the conductor wire.
Not sure about platsic but the plastic casing is an insulator.
Elecrical wire is an great example of this. the copper wiring is the conductor of electrons and the plastic coating insulates the wire absorbing some heat from friction and it's impermeable to electrons not allowing them through outside the wire.
The opposite of a conductor (conducts electric flow) is a non-conductor, or something that opposes the flow, which would be an insulator.
A wire is a conductor. It is usually coated with an insulator to isolate the current flowing in the conductor portion of the wire from other things around the wire, like your hand.
The copper wire is a conductor that allows electric charges to flow through it easily due to its free-moving electrons. The plastic coating, on the other hand, is an insulator that does not allow electric charges to flow through it because its electrons are tightly bound to their atoms, preventing the flow of electricity.
it is a conducter
A wire is typically a conductor, meaning it allows electricity to flow through it.
An insulator is a material that prevents the passage of electricity. An example is the plastic insulating cover on electrical wires, A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow. An example is the copper wire used inside electrical cables.
A steel spoon is an excellent conductor of heat.ANSWER: Conductor
because plastic is an insulator
