-What are the 4 conductors used the most in the electrical industry？
Silver; Copper; Gold; Aluminium
- What are the 4 insulator materials used the most in the electrical industry.
Mica; Glass; Rubber; Porcelain
-Why are there so many different types of conductors and insulators available in the electrical industry.
Resistivity of good conductor materials must have very low ohm. Breakdown voltage of good insulator must have high ohm.
- How do environmental things effect conductors and insulators e.g. temperature.
An increase in temperature will increase conductor resistance because conductors have a positive temperature coefficient. Insulators have an negative temperature coefficient, any increase in temperature will result in a decrease of resisitance and reduction of insulator integrity.
-What conductors are used in electronic manufacturing.
semiconductor; germanium and silicon are used in the most electronic manufacturing.
