What Is a metal string that brings electricity to our house?
Electricity is brought into our homes along cables of conductive copper wires insulated against shortening by an insulating covering of plastic.
What is tinned copper wire?
copper wire that is coated with tin
Is copper wire heterogeneous?
A copper wire is considered to be a homogeneous system.
Can you recycle copper wire?
Yes! It's a metal, so it can be forged into something new. Of course. Copper wire contains copper. You can use a copper wire stripper to remove the insulation and you get copper core or a copper wire gramulator to make them into small copper granules after grinding and separating the insulation.
Is copper wire a mechanical mixture?
It should be a "pure" substance, but its really an alloy.
What purpose does the plastic cover and the copper in a wire serve?
The copper is a good conductor of electricity. While the insulating plastic covering of the wire prevents bare wires touching and creating a short, or shocking (electrocuting) a person should the bare wire be touched with bare hands.
Why copper rod is covered with insulating material in Searle's apparatus?
Copper rod is covered by insulating materials, because copper is good conductor of electricity when we touch copper rod we get shock and insulators are bad conductor of electricity hence copper rod is covered by insulating materials
What is Enameled copper wire?
Enameled copper wire is copper wire coated by a insulating paint usually colored red. The paint is much thin rubber/plastic sleeves that other wires have, yet provide almost the same amount of insulation. Enameled wire is primarily used in the construction of electromagnets since it allows more loops to be packed into a smaller volume.
How are the conductors and insulators in the creation of household electric wire?
Copper is ideally used in wires in the creation of a household electric wire. this is because, copper is a very good conductor of electricity. to avoid anyone from getting shocks the copper wires need to be insulated by an insulating material, ideally plastic that is wrapped around them.
Wires are made of?
Most wire is made of an electrical conducting metal such as steel, copper, brass, etc. Then to prevent electrical "shorts," a generally flexible, electrically insulating material is used to cover the wire.

What are the elements in a copper wire?
If the copper wire really is pure copper then the only element in the copper wire is copper (Cu).

Composition of copper wire in generators?
how much copper is in copper wire
What type of cable consists of a single copper wire surrounded by at least three layers an insulating material and woven or braided metal and a plastic outer coating?
The description if that of "coaxial cable".
