What protects people from electric currents?

The rubber wire (also called an insulator) keeps the electricity inside of it protecting you from getting shocked. Metallic Thunder


What does a insulator keep the electricity in?

An insulator doesn't keep electricity in anything. Electricity follows metals, period. To put it another way, It's like you wearing a glove to prevent heat or cold to touch your skin, the plastic insulation on wire keeps the electricity from touching anything outside the metal it is flowing through.


Why does a person wear rubber gloves while handling electric wires?

To prevent being shocked. Rubber is an insulator, and keeps electricity from flowing from the wire to you.


WHAT DOES A CONDUCTOR AND A INSULATOR MEAN?

An insulator is a material that prevents the passage of electricity. An example is the plastic insulating cover on electrical wires, A conductor is a material that allows electricity to flow. An example is the copper wire used inside electrical cables.


Is solder wire insulator?

Solder will conduct electricity, so is not an insulator.


Is wire an insulator or conductor?

Wire can be either an insulator or a conductor, depending on its material and properties. Copper wire, for example, is a good conductor of electricity, while rubber-coated wire is used as an insulator to protect against electric shocks.


Is a wire a conductor or insulator?

A wire is typically a conductor, meaning it allows electricity to flow through it.


Why does a copper wire act as an insulator?

It doesn't, it is a conductor of heat and electricity.


Is copper wire a condutor or insulator?

Copper wire is a conductor of electricity. Its high conductivity allows electric current to flow easily through it.


What is a good sentence for the word insulator?

The electricity flowed through the wire, but didn't burn Nicole because of its rubber coated insulator.


What kind of material do the connecting wires in a circuit have to be made of?

The outside of the wire needs to be made of an insulator since people touch it. The inside of the wire is made of conductors, such as copper, to it actually conducts electricity. Good luck with the paper!!


What terms describe the metallic core of a wire?

conductorThe core of a wire is the center, the metal part. And insulator is the wrapping on the outside, and it makes sure that the electricity doesn't harm you. Electricity must have a conductor to work, and metal is an excellent conductor.
