Glass is an insulator and will not allow a current to flow through it. With metal, which conducts electricity, the current would flow through them to the towers and cause short circuits,

Why are the cables in the pylons are hanging and not stretched?

The cables in pylons are designed to hang rather than be stretched to account for changes in temperature, wind, and other environmental factors. This flexibility allows the cables to absorb and distribute forces more effectively, contributing to the overall stability and functionality of the structure.


Which oxygen flowmeters is NOT affected by gravity and can be used in any position when attached to an oxygen cylinder?

A Thorpe tube flowmeter is not affected by gravity and can be used in any position when attached to an oxygen cylinder. It operates based on pressure differentials rather than gravity, making it suitable for various orientations.


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.


What is a fixed pulley?

A fixed pulley is a pulley that is attached to a support. It does not reduce the effort needed to lift the load, but rather changes the direction of the applied force.An example of a fixed pulley would be the rope pulley on a well. This is a fixed pulley because the pulley doesn't move (it is attached to the overhead structure).


What will happen to a whirling ball attached to a string if it is suddenly released?

The ball will follow a tangent to its circular path due to its inertia, flying off in a straight line rather than falling vertically. This is because of its angular momentum, which causes it to maintain velocity in a straight line until acted upon by another force.

What is difference between SC and LC connector types?

· LC connectors are sometimes called "Little Connectors".SC connectors, being square, have a mnemonic of "Square Connector", which some people believe to be the correct name, rather than the more official "Subscriber Connector". Other terms often used for SC connectors are "Set and Click" or "Stab and Click".

What is underground cable?

I think you are referring to the practice of burying cables underground, rather than stringing the wires on poles above the ground. The reason some people (and some countries) prefer to place the cables underground is that when there is a bad storm, like a hurricane, people won't lose power because the cable won't be blown down by the wind. Burying cable underground is expensive, however, and as a result, many cities continue to have telephone wires and cable above ground, attached to poles.
