Conductors for flexible wires are normally made of stranded copper. Stranded conductors are composed of uninsulated "strands" of wire twisted together. The advantages of stranded conductor over a single strand of equal cross-section are increased flexibility and flex-fatigue life. The more strands of fine wire, the more flexible the wire will be. Other conductor materials include:aluminum and stainless steel. For more unusual applications, conductors are fabricated from pure nickel, pure silver, copper-covered aluminum, and a host of metals, metal alloys, and metal combinations. Metalized fibers such as Aracon can also be used for conductor material. Insulation also plays a role in a wire's flexibility.

What can the plates in a capacitor be made from?
Any conducting material. Thin metal foil is common.
What is the word for the meaning 'a flexible strand of metal'?
flexible strand of metal = wire
What types of substances are best at conducting thermal energy?
The metal family
Which is the best conductor for heat?
The best metal for conducting heat is silver.
What is in metals that conducts signals?
electrons in metal play a role of conducting current or signals...
Wires are made of?
Most wire is made of an electrical conducting metal such as steel, copper, brass, etc. Then to prevent electrical "shorts," a generally flexible, electrically insulating material is used to cover the wire.

Why can't a non conducting material be charged easily by rubbing?
I don't think there is such a thing as a "non-conducting metal". All metals are good conductors.
What is metal wire?
Metal wires are single strands of flexible material often used to carry electrical currents, telecommunication signals, and hold mechanical loads.
In an electrical circuit why is foil a good material to use for a switch?
Foil is a metal based product and is flexible. These two properties make foil a good candidate for use as a switch in certain applications. <<>> Foil is not used in a switch for conducting electricity. Silver plated contacts are used to carry the current.
What is the word for the meaning 'a flexible strand of metal'?
flexible strand of metal = wire
What is disbonding on a protective mask?
Disbonding is the separation of the flexible silicone material from the metal structure of the mask, rendering it more likely to fail.
What are two things metals are good at conducting?
Depending on the metal, heat and electricity are two main things that metal are good at conducting.
What is flexible armor made of joined flexible metal links?
amour made of joind metal links
What materials are flexible?
METAL
What causes metal to conduct electricity?
The free electrons within the metal cause metal to conduct electricity because they drift easily with an applied electric force. All metal conducts electricity.
