The performance of an object that has been dependent upon whether the object is composed of a conductive or a nonconductive material. Conductors are materials that allow electrons to flow freely from ...

Hi, everyone, I'm Mwaksy. I'm Greg. Hey.Hey, Greg, so, question.You know how there are electric circuits all around us? Yeah?How is it that we don't get an electric shockwhen we touch the TV or turn ...

The film follows David and his sister Marilyn as they explore the concept of electricity. They learn about static electricity through everyday experiences, such as David's flashlight and Marilyn's ...

Motors differ from other types of loads in one important way: The motor needs much more current to start than to run. This temporary, but significant, inrush current is what complicates motor circuit ...

Over the years, Hendrix has maintained that porcelain insulators (and porcelain spacers) should not be used with covered conductor. This is due to the dielectric incompatibility between the two ...

Scientists have created a process to make patterns in atom-thick layers that combine a conductor -- graphene -- and an insulator -- hexagonal boron nitride. The process may lead to new possibilities ...

Article 210 of the 2014 NEC provides rules for minimum conductor sizes [210.19]. For circuits over 600V, the rules are pretty simple: For unsupervised installations, the ampacity must be at least 125% ...

A semiconductor is a material or device that only conducts electricity under certain conditions. Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic ...

Normally metals and insulators sit at opposite ends of a spectrum of conductivity, but researchers have discovered a material that can switch between those states freely, even at room temperature. The ...

Fran: You might be thinking that a conductor stands at the front of an orchestra waving their arms around, and they do. But we're talking about a different kind of conductor. A conductor of ...
