Insulators Sentence Examples

The insulators are planted on creosoted oak arms, 21 in.

The advantage of the high conducting power which copper possesses Over- is of especial value in moist climates (like that of the United Kingdom), since the effect of leakage over the surface of the damp insulators is much less noticeable when the conducting power of the wire is high than when it is low, especially when the line is a long one.

Under the action of the same or identical electric forces the intensity of this state in various insulators is determined by a quality of them called their dielectric constant, specific inductive capacity or inductivity.

A number of metallic points, supported on insulators, were connected by wires enclosing several hundred square metres on the top of a hill.

The climatic conditions in the British Islands are such that it is not possible to maintain, in unfavourable weather, a higher standard than that named, which is the insulation obtained when all the insulators are in perfect condition and only the normal leakage, due to moisture, is present.

This shows that some bodies are conductors and others non-conductors or insulators of electricity, and that bodies can be electrified by friction and impart their electric charge to other bodies.

Ceramic spark plugs, which are electrical insulators, have had a large impact on society.

Klean Kanteen offers a line of accessories that includes bottle insulators, a wide variety of caps, nylon slings, bike cages, carabiners, and water filter adapters.

Non-conducting materials-Also called insulators, materials through which electric current does not propagate.

Ask children for their ideas as to how we could investigate which materials would make the best thermal insulators.

He lowered the pantograph and both he and his assistant lay down on the floor to be safe from ' flying ' insulators.

These were actually made between 1885 and 1889, when he was professor of physics in the Carlsruhe Polytechnic. He himself recorded that their origin is to be sought in a prize problem proposed by the Berlin Academy of Sciences in 1879, having reference to the experimental establishment of some relation between electromagnetic forces and the dielectric polarization of insulators.

The lines are carried on poles, at a sufficient height above the ground, by means of insulators.

Compared with the Bessemer process, which converts a charge of even as much as 20 tons of pig iron into steel in a few minutes, and the open-hearth process which easily treats charges of 75 tons, the crucible process is, of course, a most expensive one, with its little 80-lb charges, melted with great consumption of fuel because the heat is kept away from the metal by the walls of the crucible, themselves excellent heat insulators.

In examining the dissipation which takes place along imperfectly insulating substances, he found that a thread of gum-lac was the most perfect of all insulators; that it insulated ten times as well as a dry silk thread; and that a silk thread covered with fine sealing-wax insulated as powerfully as gum-lac when it had four times its length.

He found also that the dissipation of electricity along insulators was chiefly owing to adhering moisture, but in some measure also to a slight conducting power.

At the time when Maxwell developed his theory the dielectric constants of only a few transparent insulators were known and these were for the most part measured with steady or unidirectional electromotive force.

Among other manufactures are hosiery and knit goods, overalls and suspenders, hardware, lumber, oils and varnishes, gasoline fire engines, mica insulators, agricultural implements, and wagons and carriages.

Insulators are DNA elements that defend genes from surrounding chromatin by setting the boundaries of independent chromatin domains.

Our MO's go off on schedule, we can hardly see a blue haze over the insulators, probably moisture I say.

We can use insulators to prevent electric current flowing to places where we don't want it.

Materials which do not allow an electric current to flow well are called insulators.

Therefore, soft ferrites, which are ceramic insulators, become the most desirable material.

Bare aluminium strip has recently been tried for winding-coils in electrical machines, the oxide of the metal acting as insulators between the layers.

It has long been known that air and other gases at the pressure of the atmosphere were very perfect insulators, but that when they were rarefied and contained in glass tubes with platinum electrodes sealed through the glass, electricity could be passed through them under sufficient electromotive force and produced a luminous appearance known as the electric glow discharge.
