What is a wire used for in electric?
Wires are used as electricity conductors.
Why can't copper produced by displacement used for electrical wires?
Copper is not a good conductor of electricity. The electric wires could not be made of copper because of its poor conduction with electricity.
Why you get an electric shock if you touch live and neutral wire?
Because there is a potential difference between the live and neutral wires.
Is electricity a metal?
Electricity is not a metal; it is the flow of electrons. In static electricity, the particles in an object try to neutralize each other, which causes a shock when touched. Metals like copper are great conductors of electricity, and can be drawn in electrical wires.
Is plastic a good condutor?
Plastic is a non conductor of electricity.
How many volts does electricity in your house carry which can cause you electric shock or even death if you touch the live wires?

What does insulators mean in electricity?
Insulation covers the copper wires that carry electricity to prevent shorting or electrocution. Without insulation, the bare wires could cause an electrical fire, or an electric shock, possibly resulting in death.
What are insulators in brief?
Insulators are things that are poor conductors of heat and electricity. In electrical terms, an insulator is what keeps wires from shorting out, prevents electric fires, and prevents electric shock. That way, the electricity stays in the wiring and doesn't go elsewhere.
Why electrical wires have plastic covering?
Electrical wires have plastic covering as when electric current flows through the copper wires and mistake we hold it so we may get an electric shock.
What is a wire used for in electric?
Wires are used as electricity conductors.
Can electric shock cause sezuires?
Anything that can interfere with the proper function of the brain can cause seizures and certainly electricity can interfere with the brain. But it seems to me that the brain would have to be involved in the electric shock and in most cases it is not. Sometimes someone will get their head into hot wires, but hard hats are non-conductive and protect you from this.
Why don't birds get shock while they sit on electric transmission wires?
no they dont
Why do electrical wires have plastic covering?
Electrical wires have plastic covering as when electric current flows through the copper wires and mistake we hold it so we may get an electric shock.
Does electricity flow through wires?
Electric current flows through wires, but to transmit electric power you need two wires with a voltage between them, connected to a power source.
What metal is usually for wires in electric circuits?
copper as it is a good conductor of electricity :)
Is electric wires a mixture or a compound?
electricity is not a compound, mixture or element.
Can connecting a specific amount of magnet to one of your electric wires reduce the electricity usage?
No. Your magnet will fight the electricity.
