Why is it dangerous to use a hairdryer or radio near water even though pure water is not a good conductor of electricity?
Water can conduct electricity if it contains impurities or minerals, which are commonly found in tap water. Even pure water can conduct electricity to some extent due to its natural ionization. Therefore, using electrical devices near water increases the risk of electric shock or short circuits, which can be dangerous.
What else can I help you with?
Does liquid conduct electricity well?
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.
True or false when a magnet is moved electricity is formed?
True. When a magnet is moved near a conductor, such as a wire, it causes a change in the magnetic field around the conductor. This change induces an electric current to flow in the conductor, resulting in the formation of electricity.
Does electricity go though aluminum foil?
I would say yesANS 2 - Definitely, in fact that's what house wiring used to be.
Is calcium a good or poor conductor of heat and electricity?
Calcium is a relatively good conductor of heat and electricity, though not as efficient as some other metals like copper or aluminum. As an alkaline earth metal, it has free electrons that facilitate the conduction of electricity. Its thermal conductivity also allows it to transfer heat effectively, but its performance is moderate compared to more conductive metals. Overall, while it can conduct heat and electricity, it is not the best choice for applications requiring high conductivity.
Is it possible to use a hairdryer to melt plastic?
yes, usually only broken ones get to the point of being that hot though
What metals will electricity pass though?
A conductor
Is polyester a conductor?
No polyester is not a good conductor of electricity, it is a pretty good insulator though.
Is tar a conductor of electricity?
Tar is a conductor of electricity. This is because tar contains carbon black. Carbon though not a metal is capable of conducting electricity.
Is polyester a good conductor?
No polyester is not a good conductor of electricity, it is a pretty good insulator though.
What name is given to an item which lets electricity though?
It is called a 'conductor'.
Does liquid conduct electricity well?
It depends on the liquid. Oil would not be a good conductor of electricity. Water is a good conductor, though distilled water is not. Any liquid metal or ionic compound would be a good conductor.
Is glass a poor conductor?
It depends on whether you mean heat conductor or electrical conductor; in either case it is a poor conductor at room temperature; but at very high temperature it is a good electrical conductor but still a poor heat conductor
True or false when a magnet is moved electricity is formed?
True. When a magnet is moved near a conductor, such as a wire, it causes a change in the magnetic field around the conductor. This change induces an electric current to flow in the conductor, resulting in the formation of electricity.
What does electricity travel though?
Substances called conductors. The characteristic of a conductor is that they have plenty of electrons in their shells (eg metals).
Is rhodium a good conductor of electricity?
I would expect it to be, since it is a metal.
What can have a conductor though it which an electric current enters or leaves?
A conductor can have a wire through which an electric current enters or leaves. This conductor allows the flow of electricity between two points, providing a pathway for electrons to move through.
Is phosphoric acid a good conductor?
Phosphoric acid is a weak conductor of electricity as it is a weak acid. It can conduct electricity to a limited extent due to the presence of ions in solution, but it is not as efficient as strong acids or salts.
