Why are conductors better than insulators to carry electric current

Chemistry
1 answer:
marysya [2.9K]3 years ago
5 0

Conductors are better than insulators to carry electric current because they give the electricity the ability to flow freely throughout circuits. This helps the insulator to do its job of containing the electric charge. Examples of this would be a tv plug - the rubber surrounding the TV plug helps to keep the conductors (wires) in place, thus helping to facilitate an electric charge.

A salt solution will conduct electricity but if sugar solution will not explain why​
Rainbow [258]

Salt solution such as sodium chloride (NaCl) conducts an electric current because it has ions in it that have the freedom to move about in solution. ... On the other hand, sugar solution does not conduct an electric current because sugar (C12H22O11) dissolves in water to produce sugar molecules

(GIVING BRAINLYIST) How does temperature and precipitation change as you increase in elevation?
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

Temperature gets cooler and precipitation increases.

Explanation:

As average temperatures at the Earth's surface rise, more evaporation occurs, which, in turn, increases overall precipitation. … In addition, higher temperatures lead to more evaporation, so increased precipitation will not necessarily increase the amount of water available for drinking, irrigation, and industry

Higher elevations cause temperatures to drop because the higher up in the atmosphere you go, the colder it gets due to air pressure, in turn causing precipitation to freeze, creating snow. Lower elevations are a lot warmer because the air pressure is not as pressurized causing the temperature to be warmer

Answer:

Na+Cl- + Ag+no3- ---> Na+No3- + Ag+Cl-

A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation

Explanation:

When a solution of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is mixed with hydrochloric acid, HCl, the compounds dissociate into the ions Na+, OH-, H+ and Cl-. The hydrogen and hydroxide ions react to form water, but the sodium and chlorine ions stay in solution unchanged.
