What material is used to insulate wire?
Plastic cardboard, cloth and rubber are four substances that insulate wire.
What material is used to make an electromagnet?
take any magnetic material wrap a metal wire around it which conducts electricity and pass electricity through it
What distinguishes a conductor from a insulator?
A conductor carries electricity and is made of such a material that can conduct electrons. Like copper for instance which is the best or close to the best material for carring electrical currents...Insulators on the other hand prevent the passing of electrical currents: like plastic or rubber which are used to insulate wire,switches etc.
What is the material of sonometer wire?
The sonometer wire is usually made up any material which is non-magnetic in nature.
If two wires of the same material have the same thickness but different length the blank wire will have greater resistance?
The thinner the wire, the higher the resistance. The thicker the wire, the resistance decreases. Think of it this way. The thick wire has more room for electrons to jump around, but the thin wire has less room.
What material is used to insulate wire?
Plastic cardboard, cloth and rubber are four substances that insulate wire.
Why is it important that the material around wire be made of a substance other than a metal?
The coating on a wire is there to insulate it from contact with people, and other wires. The material will always be conducting. Good materials are rubber, plastics, glass. Metal would be the worst type of outer materials because it would conduct the electricity.
Does copper wire insulate?
The insulation on a wire is applied after the wire is drawn to size.
Why is important for electrical to have material around the cord?
The material is an insulator. Without an insulator the electricity could travel out of the wire through some kind of cunductor, or it could cause electrocution if someone came into contact with it.
A reddish-brown metal used to conduct eletricity?
Copper is often used as a material for the wire itself, but I don't think you would ever use a metal to insulate a wire. Metals all conduct electricity, meaning using them as insulators for anything electrical would be a very bad idea. The most common material used to insulate electrical wires is PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
Which part of this wire will conduct electricity and which part will insulate electricity plastic or cooper?
Conductors are any material that conducts the flow of electricity, which would include Copper. Insulators are any material that restricts the flow of electricity which would include plastic.
Can hot glue on insulated copper wire affect the current passing through?
In theory it could insulate the copper slightly and if the copper warmed up enough it could cause slight changes in current. If we are not talking about driving the wire to extreme loads, then no.
How do you insulate a wire?
Cover it with a nonconducting material.In the early days of electrical wiring materials like cotton cloth, natural rubber, and gutta percha were used.Now wires are almost always insulated with plastics (e.g. PVC, nylon, teflon).
A material that can be streached into a wire?
a material that can be stretched into a wire
Which wire is ground wire in a 97 Nissan Pathfiner window?
There is no ground wire in automobiles, they have tires that insulate the vehicle from the ground. There are only positive and negative wires.
What did the electrician's boss say when he was late to work?
wire you insulate
What is insulate wires?
A wire which contain an insulation coating on its is known as insulated wire. Due to insulation coating short circuit condition minimizies.
