A non-metal, butlook inyour science book. :)

How do you make a volcano out of spray insulation?
get anything and spray the insulation around it
Is there a spray on insulation made for bare copper wire?
Not that I know of. When insulation is applied to wire it is extruded so that the insulating material is uniform around the conductor. Without this uniformity the conductors insulation factor would vary and the wire would have to be rated at the lowest reading factor when tested with a high voltage. Even when splicing a wire, the electrical code states that the insulation covering the splice has to be brought up to or surpass the insulation factor that is supplied by the manufacturer of the wire.
What is more important for amperage rating wire size or insulation temperature rating?
Wire size determines how much current can be safely conducted. Insulation type and rating determines other factors, such as where the wire can be used and maximum voltage. It should be noted that the high voltage lines that are hanging from the really large electrical towers are among a class of wires that have NO insulation around the outside of the wire. They are instead, connected to the towers with large insulators that prevent electrical energy from being lost through the towers.
Which supporting cell in the CNS has a function similar to the schwann cell?
The Oligodendrocyte (spelling might be slightly wrong) is the equivalent of the Schwann cell. Both of them create a myelin sheath around the axon of a neural cell, which provides electrical insulation.
Is the space around an electrical charged object is an electrical field?
yes
Would you expect the insulation around an electrical outlet to be of a metal a nonmetal or a metalloid?
nonmetals are the best insulators
What you find around an electrical wire?
Insulation.
What is the purpose of insulation tape?
Insulation tape is used to protect exposed electrical conductors or wires. Another term for it would be electrical tape. It is wrapped around wires and other electrical conductors to protect them.

Why do you strip wires?
Stripping wires involves removing the insulation around the metal core to expose the conductive material. This is necessary to connect the wire to terminals or other wires securely, ensuring a proper electrical connection.
How do you make a volcano out of spray insulation?
get anything and spray the insulation around it
How do you blow in insulation in attic?
To blow in insulation in an attic, you will need a machine specifically designed for this purpose, which can usually be rented from hardware or home improvement stores. Ensure the attic is properly prepped, insulated around electrical fixtures, and that you have the necessary protective gear. It's recommended to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the specific type of insulation you are using.
What are belted cables?
Belted cables have a "belt" of insulation around each sector of conductor. These were a Pre~1927 design. The belted conductors now incorporate a screen or shield to reduce the electrical stresses and allow for a radial distribution of electrical stress.

Where is insulation used around the house?
insulation is used on all exterior walls and around windows and doors in in the attic of a home
Can you get an electrical shock if you touch a wire covered in plastic?
No, the covering on the wire is insulation. This insulation is used to isolate the wire from any grounding medium, this includes a person. It is not a good idea to go around touching wires as there may be a nick in the insulation. If the nick goes all the way through to the conductor, and you touch that specific spot and you are grounded you will get a shock as you become part of the conductor.
