Why gold and copper are good conductors of an electrical current?
Yo, These 3 are the best First = Silver (Ag) Second= Copper (Cu) Third = Gold (Au)
Does duct tape conduct electricity?
Yes. It should not be used where there is any danger to electrical leakage. Definitely not on 110/220 VAC lines.
Can diode work on ac power supply?
diodes conduct electricity in only one direction but as ac change direction in each of its cycle diodes can only conduct half of its cycle which will give u a pulsating dc. but if dc is mixed with ac and if it can put whole of its cycle in positive direction diode can conduct ac. so diodes are usually used to produce dc from ac.
Why dont the electrical power lines trip when it rains if rain is a conductor of electricity?
Water is a very poor conductor of electricity and even if it has enough solutes in it to conduct electricity then it will still have a high resistance.If rainwater were to conduct the electricity then that water would heat up and evaporate almost instantly.But you need to remember that it would need a continuous channel of water to conduct electricity and the surface tension of water makes this unlikely to happen.Additional AnswerOverhead conductors are supported using insulators, the shape of which is designed to (a) shed water, and (b) to provide a long conducting path for any moisture between the top of the insulator and the bottom. For high-voltage lines, several insulators may be used in the form of 'strings', providing a sufficiently-long conducting path for any moisture path to have a sufficiently high resistance to prevent conduction.
What does the spinning wheel in an electric meter mean?
The spinning wheel spins when electricity is used in the house and the more electricity that is used the faster it will spin. The number of rotations is used to count how much electricity has been used.
