The wires that carry electricity are not in contact with the poles, isolated by insulated "bell" spacers and by physical separation.
The poles are conductive, as evidenced by lightning hitting them. But they are well grounded and sturdy enough to withstand the strikes. However, a bolt can create inductance that temporarily affects the current flowing through the wires.
What else can I help you with?
Does electricity travel through all metals?
Yes, electricity can travel through all metals. Metals are good conductors of electricity due to their free-flowing electrons that can carry electrical charge. However, the efficiency of conducting electricity can vary depending on the type of metal used.
Why would you avoid metal during a lightning storm?
Metal is a good conductor of electricity, so being near or touching metal objects during a lightning storm can increase the risk of being struck by lightning. If lightning strikes a metal object, the electricity can travel through it and potentially harm anyone in contact with it. It's best to avoid metal objects and seek shelter indoors during a lightning storm to stay safe.
What metal has to be obtained using electricity?
It is used as a way for electrons to travel. The presure of the electrons on each other gives you the voltage, and the speed at wich they travel gives you the current.
Which material is malleable and conducts electricity wood ice metal or oil?
Metal is the material that is malleable and conducts electricity.
Which non metal can slightly conduct electricity?
Carbon can conduct electricity reasonably well and is a non-metal.
What does electricity travel through?
Electricity can travel throughout freely moving Electrons, like in metal which is in wires under the rubber.
Why plastic is not a good conductor?
Because electricity can only travel through metal.
Can electricity travel through a wrench?
If the wrench is made of metal, which almost all are, the answer is yes.
Why is it possible for electricity to travel through metal?
Metal is a conductor. What this means is that it has a very low resistance to electricity, allowing the electricity to flow through it. I suggest you learn how electricity works first to understand how electricity can flow through objects. http://millerwelds.com/education/basicelec/
Do scissors conduct electricity?
Because electricity will travel through almost everything but wood, rubber, and a few more. Scissors have metal in them, and that is the thing that electricity loves to travel through.
Why does sodium conduct electricity but sodium chloride doesnt?
Sodium is a metal having free electrons; solid sodium chloride is not an electrolyte.
Does electricity travel through all metals?
Yes, electricity can travel through all metals. Metals are good conductors of electricity due to their free-flowing electrons that can carry electrical charge. However, the efficiency of conducting electricity can vary depending on the type of metal used.
What is an example of conductors and insulators?
conductors are thing that electricity travels through, metal insulators are things electricity does not travel through, dry wood, paper, plastic.
What path can electricity travel in?
Electricity can travel through conductive materials such as metal wires, water (although it is unsafe), and the human body. It follows the path of least resistance to complete the circuit and flow from a power source to a load or device.
Does electricity make metal?
Electricity doesn't make metal. Since electricity only travels through it.
What conducts electricity other than metal?
carbon is not a metal and can conduct electricity
Metal conduct current?
Metal conduct electricity and flow of electricity is the current.
