What else can I help you with?
On a appliance cord what is the conductor and insulator?
On the power cord of an electrical appliance, the only conductor you can see is the two (or three) little prongs on the very end of the cord, that get plugged into the wall. Everything else you can see is insulating material. (If it ever becomes possible to see any conductor anywhere else in the cord, then the cord is damaged and dangerous, and must be replaced.)
What is the conductor and insulator on an appliance cord?
There are two conductors in an appliance cord, separated from each other. Each one is along, thin 'wire' of copper or aluminum, connected at one end to the appliance, and at theother end to one of the prongs on the plug that plugs into the wall outlet.Each conductor is completely enclosed over its entire length in a continuous insulating jacketof plastic, rubber, or cloth, and the two of them are physically combined into a single jacket.If you ever see any of the conductor through a hole in the jacket, then the cord is worn andshould be replaced with a new one.
What kind of energy does a toaster cord have?
can u belive it its solar energy trust me when my teach told me i thought she was being sarchastic and she was not.
How does sound travel through wire?
Sound travels through wires in the form of electrical signals, which are converted from sound waves by a microphone. These electrical signals then pass through the wire to a speaker, which converts them back into sound waves that we can hear. The wire acts as a conductor for the electrical signals, allowing the sound to be transmitted efficiently across a distance.
What is the electrical resistance measured in?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electrons (i.e. electrical current) in a conducting material such as a metal wire or a pair of contacts in a switch. Every substance has a certain amount of resistance. Resistance is measured in ohms. If one volt can push 1 amp of current through a substance, it has a resistance of 1 ohm. Some materials, like copper and aluminum have fairly low resistance, and are therefore used as electrical conductors (wires). Another answer Conductor resistance means a material's opposition to the flow of current that a conductor has. Ideally, in a wire, this should be nothing, i.e. 0 ohms, but in reality all conductors have a certain amount of resistance. For example, 1000 feet of 14 AWG (the common wire size used for 15 amp branch circuits in residential wiring in North America) has about 2.5 ohms of resistance. Further answers Think of a conductor as a resistor/resistance of a certain very low value in series with whatever load it is feeding. Current flowing through the conductor(s) will result in a voltage drop and power loss, manifested as heating of the conductors. The "line loss" formula is one variation of the power formula and is P = I2 x R, which can be used for calculating the power loss in the conductors. Remember that any power line to a 120 volt device has 2 lengths of conductor going to it (hot and neutral return). Therefore the total conductor length is the length of the power cord or electrical cable times 2. To calculate the voltage drop across the conductor resistance for a given current, you have to determine the conductor's resistance and use Ohm's law. Calculating the resistance of a length of conductor can be done using tables readily available in textbooks or via a websearch, assuming copper conductors at 20 degrees Celcius. You need to know the size of the conductor (AWG size, for American wire gauge) and the length of the conductor.

What is the conductor and what is the insulator on an appliance cord?
The metal is the conductors, the rubbery or plastic stuff is the insulator.
An appliance cord what is the conductor and what is the insulator?
The metal is the conductors, the rubbery or plastic stuff is the insulator.
How do you short out an electrical cord?
To short out an electrical cord, all that had to be done if find a way to touch the black conductor to the white or green conductor. Why this would be required is a mystery as most installations strive to stop the shorting of electrical cords and wiring.
What is an example of a conductor in a room?
The cord sending electrical power to a light bulb or a television is an example of a conductor of electricity in a room. A conductor of a choir or an orchestra is an example of a musical conductor in a room.
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.

What is the lamp black wire with white stripe?
If you are asking about the electrical cord on a lamp, the black wire with the white stripe is the neutral conductor.
What are some uses for an electrical cord?
Electrical cord is also refered to as power cord, line cord, and main cable. Electrical cord is mainly used to connect the appliance to the main electricity supply via wall socket.
How do you tell the difference between an indoor electrical cord and an outdoor electrical cord?
A label.
What does sjoow cord stand for?
"SJOOW" is a designation for a type of electrical cord that stands for "Service Junior Oil-Resistant Water-Resistant." It is commonly used for portable power applications and features a flexible design that can withstand oil and moisture, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The cord typically consists of a stranded copper conductor with insulation and an outer jacket that provides additional protection against environmental factors.
Is green ground in an extention cord?
Yes, the green conductor is the colour of the ground wire in an extension cord. The black wire is dedicated to be the "hot" and the white conductor is the neutral.
