An Insulated wire is one which has a coating of Heat Shrink Tubing, usually for safety; and an Uninsulated wire on the other hand does not have a coating of Heat Shrink Tubing.

What are insulated wires made out of?
An insulated wire is made of a conductor surrounded by an insulating 'jacket'.
What is the main difference between FCAW and GMAW?
GMAW (solid wire) vs. FCAW (flux-cored wire). The Most important difference between FCAW and GMAW is welding wire,
In an electromagnet why is it a good idea to use insulated wire?
Because bare wire would short out as the wires are touching each other.
What two things are needed to make electrons move along a wire?
-- voltage difference (electromotive force) between the ends of the wire; -- conductive substance comprising the wire.
How are electromagnets formed?
A magnet consisting essentially of a coil of insulated wire wrapped around a soft iron core that is magnetized only when current flows through the wire.
Why wont birds die on a wire?
Mainly because wires are insulated. In the case of being on an uninsulated wire the bird isn't grounded since both feet are on the wire.
What is the difference between insulated wire and ordinary cable?
Insulated wires and cables are commonly used conductors in power engineering
Why insulated copper wire is used in making solenoid?
If the solenoid wire is not insulated the number of turns will be reduced by the uninsulated wires touching and shorting out the turns.
You can get it from touching uninsulated wire?
voltage
What is the difference between enamel insulated wire and paper insulated wire?
Paper insulated wire is coated with DuPont's NOMEX Paper wrap which can withstand temperature over 200 degrees centigrate. Enamel insulation usually is coated over aluminum wire and shipped from 3rd world countries to put in our houses because housing contractors don't care if your house burns down. bottom line is money, enamel is cheaper.
Why are conducters used in domestic wiring insulated?
Wires are insulated to stop a short circuiting between the common neutral wire and the wire that supplies the potential voltage to the load of the circuit.
Why is copper wiring coated with insulation?
Because if the wire is "hot", that is, has electricity flowing through it, and you touch a bare wire, then YOU become the "ground" and complete the circuit. This will cause at the least a bad shock, and at the worst it will cause death. The "ground" wires are bare, but that is because they do not have electricity flowing through them unless something shorts out (ie a "hot" wire which is normally black or red in color touches a ground or neutral wire which is normally white. The "ground" wires are either bare or have a green coating.
Is a copper wire a ground wire?
Yes, if it is not an insulated wire. If it is bare copper it is always ground. But the hot and neutral wire are also copper, they are just insulated.
When was Phillips Insulated Wire Company Complex created?
Phillips Insulated Wire Company Complex was created in 1898.
An insulated wire is like a?
a hose
Can uninsulated wire be used in place of enamel wire?
Depends on what you are using it for:short point to point connection - yes, usually but be careful to avoid shortscoil winding - NO NO NO, the coil will be completely shortedgeneral wiring - NO NO NO, use hookup wire instead as the enamel is too fragile
What are insulated wires made out of?
