Explain why the outside cases of electrical appliances are usually made of plastics?
Electrical appliances are made with plastic outer cases because plastic is a non-conductive and lightweight material that helps to reduce the risk of electrical shock. Additionally, plastic is durable, heat-resistant, and cost-effective, making it a suitable material for housing electrical components.

What are the safety rules for lightning?
Seek shelter indoors when you hear thunder. Avoid using electrical appliances and plumbing during a thunderstorm. Stay away from tall objects, open fields, and bodies of water. Wait at least 30 minutes after the last thunder before going back outside.
What are the 2 appliances in the home which operate by using heat transfer?
Two appliances in the home that operate using heat transfer are refrigerators and air conditioners. Refrigerators transfer heat from inside the unit to the outside to keep food cold, while air conditioners transfer heat from inside a room to the outside to cool the air.
What is the difference in electrical charge between two regions on a nerve?
There is a slight difference in electrical charge between the inside and outside of a nerve cell membrane, known as the resting membrane potential. This potential is typically around -70 millivolts, with the inside of the cell more negative compared to the outside. This difference in charge is essential for the nerve cell to transmit electrical signals.
Does a motor have electrical energy in it?
An electric motor need to be supplied electricity to operate. It can be made to generate electricity if turned by an outside force when set up correctly.
What tree events of matter and energy that you cant explain?
I can't explain events that involve supernatural or paranormal occurrences. These include phenomena such as ghosts, telekinesis, or other unexplained events that fall outside the realm of scientific understanding.
Explain why the outside cases of electric appliances ususally are made of plastic?
Plastic is a good insulator and a bad conductor of electricity, which makes it a good material to protect people from electric shocks when handling appliances. On top of that, plastics are inexpensive and easy to shape.
Can leaving electrical appliances plugged in cause fires?
No, A plugged in appliance will not cause a fire. There has to be an outside fuel source that could catch the flame.
What does electrical appliances use to keep temperature constant?
Electrical appliances such as refrigerators and air conditioners use a thermostat to monitor the temperature and adjust the operation of the appliance to maintain a constant temperature. When the temperature rises or falls outside the set range, the thermostat signals the appliance to turn on or off to keep the temperature stable.
What is the purpose of the ground wire outside the house and how does it contribute to the safety of the electrical system?
The ground wire outside the house serves to provide a path for excess electrical current to safely flow into the ground. This helps prevent electrical shocks, fires, and damage to appliances by redirecting the current away from the electrical system. In essence, the ground wire acts as a safety measure to protect both people and property from potential electrical hazards.
What should people do during an electrical storm?
During an electrical storm, people should stay indoors in a safe area, away from windows and doors. Avoid using electrical appliances or plumbing fixtures. If caught outside, seek shelter in a sturdy building or a hardtop vehicle.
Where is the outside breaker box located in relation to the main electrical panel?
The outside breaker box is typically located near the main electrical panel, but outside the building or house.
How do you unhook a hot tub that was connected to an outside electrical outlet?
"How do you unhook a hot tub that was connected to an '''outside electrical outlet?'''" .... Just unplug it
What benefits did advertisers promise that the new electrical appliances would provide for women?
Advertisers promised that new electrical appliances would significantly reduce the time and effort required for household chores, allowing women to enjoy more leisure time and pursue personal interests outside of domestic responsibilities. They emphasized convenience, efficiency, and modernity, portraying these appliances as tools that would liberate women from traditional roles and enhance their quality of life. Additionally, advertisements often suggested that using these innovative products would elevate a woman's status and make her home more appealing to family and guests.
What happens when a house is not grounded outside?
When a house is not properly grounded, it can pose significant safety risks, including the potential for electrical shock or fire hazards. Without grounding, excess electrical charges cannot safely dissipate into the earth, which may lead to damaged appliances and increased risk of electrical surges. Additionally, ungrounded systems can create interference with electrical devices and increase the likelihood of equipment malfunction. Overall, grounding is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of a home's electrical system.
Are plastics important for all living organisms on the Earth?
No, actually plastics are harmful to most living organisms on earth, including humans (depending upon the plastic). Plastics are a very recent invention of humans, and outside of human convenience are not needed in any way, shape or form.
What appliances have three pins and which have two pins?
Appliances and tool that only have two pin caps (plugs) are built so that they have double insulation. This means that the electrical "hot" parts can not be touched by handling the appliance or tools and the outside shell is completely insulated and isolated from the inside shell of the equipment. Equipment that require a three pin cap (plug) do not have the double insulation and isolation built into the equipment so protection from getting an electrical shock is done by grounding the equipment, that is what the third pin is. It is used strictly for grounding.
