What else can I help you with?
Can the electric field generated by the conducting wire penetrates the PVC insulation covering it?
It's actually a magnetic field, not an electric field, but the answer is 'Yes'. Pass some DC ... like from a battery that's operating a flashlight bulb ... through an insulated wire, and lay the wire over a compass. You'll plainly see that somethingthat affects the compass got through the insulation.
What is the source of heat matle?
The heat mantle typically uses a heating element made of resistive wire, such as nichrome wire, which generates heat when an electric current passes through it. This wire is embedded within a ceramic insulation material to ensure uniform heating and safety during operation.
What surrounds an electrified wire?
An electric field is created around an electrified wire due to the movement of electric charges. This electric field can interact with nearby objects and charges, influencing their behavior. Additionally, a magnetic field is produced around the wire, in accordance with Ampère's law.
Name of the thin wire inside electric bulb?
The thin wire inside an electric bulb is called a filament. It is usually made of tungsten and becomes hot and emits light when an electric current passes through it.
How is an electric magnet made?
An electromagnet can be made simply. When an electric current flows in a wire it creates a magnetic field around the wire. By winding the wire into a coil we can strengthen the magnetic field. Electromagnets are made from coils like this.
What is a frayed wire?
Commonly, an electric wire which has insulation that is worn, torn, cut or damaged in some way.

What would happen if electric cords did not have plastic around them?
The plastic is a form of insulation. Insulation used to be made from non-plastic materials like cloth. It protects the wire from the outside world. Without insulation the electricity would cause shocks, fires, and short circuits.
How do you strip insulation off stranded wire?
You would use a set of wire strippers made for stranded wire and proper size. If the strippers are made for stranded and solid make sure you use the size identifications for stranded not solid!
What is electric cables made from?
Usually copper with plastic insulation.
Why does a hairdryer not need a cable with an earth wire?
Hairdryers often have a double-insulated design, which means they have an extra layer of insulation to protect against electric shocks. This eliminates the need for an earth wire in the cable because the double insulation provides adequate protection against electric leakage.
What is the purpose of insulation on the electric wire?
So that the living organisms and other wires/metals are not affected by the current in a given wire. In the absence of insulation two wires coming in contact may cause short circuit and also there is a risk of death of the living organisms coming in contact. There is one more reason that insulation minimizes charge leakage from the wire.
What is the role of the myelin in a neuron?
A neuron is analogous to an electric wire. If you look at an electric wire going from a lamp to a wall plug, you do not see the actual wire. Instead, you see the insulation. If you would scrape off the insulation, you would see two wires. If those two wires touched you would hear a loud pop. Then a circuit breaker would throw. The wire would be just as good as it was before you removed the insulation. The wire carried the electricity. The insulation protected the wire and let it do its job. Without the insulation, the bulb would not work. The Myelin sheath protects the nerve from outside forces. It lets it carry its signal free from outside influence. It is a piece of insulation.
The term magnetic wire indicates a wire that has what for insulation?
Magnetic wire has a coating of varnish for an insulation.
What is the source of heat matle?
The heat mantle typically uses a heating element made of resistive wire, such as nichrome wire, which generates heat when an electric current passes through it. This wire is embedded within a ceramic insulation material to ensure uniform heating and safety during operation.
What are telephone made of?
Mainly all telephone wires are made of copper with a plastic coating for insulation. Older form of telephone wire had a paper or pulp insulation over the copper wire. They are also a twisted pair cable.
Is there a spray on insulation made for bare copper wire?
Not that I know of. When insulation is applied to wire it is extruded so that the insulating material is uniform around the conductor. Without this uniformity the conductors insulation factor would vary and the wire would have to be rated at the lowest reading factor when tested with a high voltage. Even when splicing a wire, the electrical code states that the insulation covering the splice has to be brought up to or surpass the insulation factor that is supplied by the manufacturer of the wire.
