Why are conductors and insulators both required to construct the electrical wiring in our home

1 answer:

8 0

Conductors are materials with many free electrons, so they allow electrical current to flow through them. Therefore, conductors are required in order to bring electricity to every room of the house.

Insulators, instead, are materials with few or no free electrons, so electrical currents do not flow through them. In the electrical wiring of the houses, they are used in order to isolate the conductive elements of the wire from other conductive materials (in fact, if the conductive elements touch other conductive elements of the house, part of the current would be dissipated)

vaieri [72.5K]

Distance is the total length covered = 2m + 3m = 5m

Displacement is his distance from original position.

Displacement = 2m + (-3)m. Representing the 3m walked back as -3.

Displacement = 2m - 3m = -1m.

So his displacement is 1m behind his original starting point.

svetlana [45]

<span>The cation is positively charged and has a charge twice that of the anion, for example +2. The anion is negatively charged and in our example where the cation has a +2 charge, it must have a -1 charge. In order for the charges to equal zero, there must be two anions: -1 x 2 = -2 So the answer is D. AX2</span>
