Why are electrical wires not made from plastic?
electrical conducters are madfrom metal because charges can travel through metal but rubber is a insulator so the charges cant get throught it so wires are covered with rubber for safety reasons so you don't get a shock.
Why are rubber used to make electrical wires?
Rubber is not used though plastics are. Plastics are used to insulate them because they do not conduct electricity
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.
How much electricity can rubber take?
Rubber is an insulator and typically does not conduct electricity, so it cannot "take" electricity in the same way a conductor would. Rubber is used to insulate and protect electrical wires and components, preventing the flow of electricity and ensuring safety in electrical applications.
Why do electrical wires have a coating around them?
The coating around electrical wires, typically made of materials like PVC or rubber, serves as insulation to protect against electrical shocks and short circuits. It also helps to prevent the wires from getting damaged due to moisture or other environmental factors. Additionally, the coating helps to distinguish different types of wires and aids in their organization.

Metal used for electrical wire?
The metal utilized to create electrical wire is called copper electrical and it used to be covered in rubber, but now only extension cords are covered in rubber.
Why are copper wires covered in rubber?
The electrical copper wires are coated in rubber or plastic to ensure that no current is diverted away from where it is intended to go. As rubber and plastics make very good insulators, as well as being cheap, easy to apply and flexible, it ensures that the electricity wont be conducted away from the circuit when in close proximity to another wire or any other conducting surface (or someones hands).
Why wires are covered with rubber?
It is because the rubber is an insulator.people don't get electric shocks that's why wires are covered with the rubber
Why are rubber used to make electrical wires?
Rubber is not used though plastics are. Plastics are used to insulate them because they do not conduct electricity
Is Rubber insulator or conductor?
Rubber, unless soaking wet, is an insulator (will not conduct electricity).
What is the most common insulator?
The most common electrical insulator is the plastic coating on electrical wires. Hope this helps!

What is a picture for insulator?
A picture for insulator could be a ceramic or glass electrical insulator used on power lines, or a rubber insulator used on electrical wires to prevent electrical conductivity.
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.
Would rubber be considered a conductor or an insulator?
Rubber is an insulator. It does not conduct electricity well because its molecular structure does not allow electrons to move freely. This property makes rubber useful for insulating electrical wires and preventing electrical currents from passing through.
