when length is increased insulation resistance of cable is decresed
i.e.,R is inversely proportional to L
where R is resistance
L is length
The insulation resistance remains the same throughout the entire length of the conductor.
The resistance of a conductor is relatively low while an insulator should have very high resistance. The former is used to transmit electricity and the latter is designed to inhibit flow of electricity.
The relationship between resistance and cross-sectional area in a conductor is inversely proportional. This means that as the cross-sectional area of a conductor increases, the resistance decreases, and vice versa. This relationship is described by the formula: Resistance (resistivity x length) / cross-sectional area.
Cavity wall insulation is an insulator. It is designed to fill the gap between the walls, providing thermal resistance to reduce heat loss in buildings.
No, castor oil is not a good conductor of electricity. It is actually an insulating oil that is commonly used in electrical transformers to provide insulation and cooling properties.

insulation resistance can be measured by means of megger, with built in d.c generator. It is measured between the conductor and the earth. earth resistance can be measured by means of earth resistance tester. For good effective earthing, th earth resistance should be of order 0.5 ohm

If you have 200 megohms on an insulation test of a conductor it is more than enough to feel safe about applying a voltage to the conductor with out it shorting to ground.
A megger is an electrical instrument that is used to measure the resistance of insulation by applying a DC voltage to the conductor. One lead is connected to the conductor and the other lead is connected to ground. Safe insulation reading to ground should be above 2,000,000 ohms or 2 megs.
The main cause of insulation breakdown is excessive temperature. However, it can also be caused by excessively-high electrical stress due to sharp corners or other protrusions in the conductor which act to intensify the electric field beyond the capability of the insulation.
The "current" through any conductor is voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance .The current is measured in "Amperes" (amps)."MA" stands for "Milliamps". There are 1,000 of those in one whole ampere.So, the current through a conductor is1,000 times the voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance . . . in MA
