Why electric wires get hard if its cold?
Unless otherwise specified, electric cables are insulated with a plastic material, which goes stiff in cold. If you ask for it special, you can get wires that are insulated with rubber or silicone instead, which stay soft in cold. But that costs more.
What particles carry electric current through metal wires?
In metal wires, electric current is carried by electrons. Electrons are the negatively charged particles that flow through the conductor when a voltage is applied, creating the flow of electricity.
Is rubber an electric conductor?
Rubber is generally considered to be an insulator rather than a conductor of electricity. Rubber has a high resistance to electrical current, so it does not allow electricity to flow easily through it. This property makes rubber useful for insulating wires and cables to prevent electric shocks.
Is electric wires a mixture or a compound?
electricity is not a compound, mixture or element.
What are some other objects that have insulated wires?
Other objects that often have insulated wires include power cords, headphones, microwaves, and electric heaters. These wires are typically covered with materials like rubber, PVC, or Teflon to protect against electric shock and ensure proper conductivity.
Why are household electric wires covered with plastic or rubber?
Household electric wires are covered with plastic or other materials as insulation to prevent short circuits and fires, and to prevent electric shocks.
Why are are electric wires covered in rubber or plastic?

Why wires are covered with rubber?
It is because the rubber is an insulator.people don't get electric shocks that's why wires are covered with the rubber
Why are most eletrical wires surrounded by nonmetal materials?
Electrical wires are surrounded by nonmetal materials, such as rubber or plastic, to provide insulation that prevents electricity from escaping, reduces the risk of electric shock, and protects the wires from damage. Metal materials can conduct electricity, making it unsafe for wires to be exposed or surrounded by metal.
Why are electric wires don-not made of rubber?
Obviously, rubbers are not conductors. Wires are commonly made of copper.
What is the metal used for electric wire?
Copper and aluminum used for electric wires
Why electric wires get hard if its cold?
Unless otherwise specified, electric cables are insulated with a plastic material, which goes stiff in cold. If you ask for it special, you can get wires that are insulated with rubber or silicone instead, which stay soft in cold. But that costs more.
What material could be put around the wires to insulate an electric cable and a plug?
plastic or rubber
What metal is usually for wires in electric circuits?
copper as it is a good conductor of electricity :)
What particles carry electric current through metal wires?
In metal wires, electric current is carried by electrons. Electrons are the negatively charged particles that flow through the conductor when a voltage is applied, creating the flow of electricity.
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.
Which metal is used in electric wires commonly at home and why?
Copper Metal is used because it is good conductor of electricity
