As with any cable or cord set the outer jacket is used to protect the inner current carrying conductors. Jackets are made of various hard wearing materials depending on the type of location and duty use the cords and cables will be subjected to. The wires are covered with insulation to stop them from shorting out between themselves and between themselves and ground.

Describe three safety rules that deal with the use of extension cords?
One safety rule that deals with the use of extension cords is to not plug more than one appliance into the extension cord. Other safety rules include do not use a damaged cord, and do not use a cord that becomes hot.
What are wires in a circuit covered in?
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.
Why do electrical wires covered with rubber?
AnswerBecause, it is a good insulator and won't conduct electricity. It is also flexible.It coated by rubber or plastic
What is a flexible cord?
A flexible cord is a type of electrical cable that is made up of thin conductive wires surrounded by insulation and covered by an outer protective jacket. It is designed to be flexible and used for portable appliances or equipment that require flexibility and mobility, such as lamps, power tools, and extension cords.

What is something you can spray to keep puppies away from electrical wires?
are the wires extension cords? lamp cords, gotta be careful as most products are spray on and if that wire is not shielded you may cause a fire. Move the wires or extension cords out of the way, or put puppy in a safe place away from then. There are products to spray to prevent chewing, but i don't advise it on electrical wires!
Why do you use conducting wires to cover electrical cords attached to household appliances?
I believe you've managed to turn wires inside out. (conducting) wires are covered in insulating plastic. And it is done this way to prevent electrical energy from going where it is not wanted, such as into you.

Why are household electric wires covered with plastic or rubber?
Household electric wires are covered with plastic or other materials as insulation to prevent short circuits and fires, and to prevent electric shocks.
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.

Find out what wires do?
Wires just connect electricity cords/outlets.
Why shouldn't extension leads be coiled up tightly when in use?
This is because it is acting like a transformer. A transformer is made by tightly coiling insulated wire neatly in parallel around a rod or tubing, and it generates a lot of heat. One of the worst things you can do is to use an extension cord while it is still neatly rolled up around a core of a drum. It is then behaving like a transformer and the lead cord gets quite warm. The reason extension cords should not be used while coiled is that the heat melts the plastic insulation around the cord, the now-bare wires short-circuit, and it will explode . Uncoil extension cords before you use them.
