Definition of non-conductor in English: non-conductornoun ˌnɒnkənˈdʌktə A substance that does not conduct heat or electricity. Example sentencesExamples - Most other minerals are non-conductors of electricity.
- Substances such as hydrogen chloride or acetic acid are non-conductors in the pure state but give rise to ions and thus electrical conductivity when dissolved in water.
- The term ‘fuel cell’ was coined by the English chemists Ludwig Mond and Carl Langer to describe their device, developed nearly 50 years later, which used a porous non-conductor to hold the electrolyte.
- A non-conductor can be charged by induction by exposure to an electrostatic field that is present on a surface charged with static electricity.
- They terminate at the surfaces of the conductors under induction, or at the particles of non-conductors, which, being electrified, are in that condition.
Derivatives adjective ˌnɒnkənˈdʌktɪŋ Denoting a substance that does not conduct heat or electricity. a non-conducting solid such as glass or stone Example sentencesExamples - When both the first and the second two-terminal non-linear elements are in the non-conducting state, the voltage on the capacitor can be maintained.
- When two non-conducting materials come into contact with each other, a chemical bond, known as adhesion, is formed between the two materials.
- In fact, scientists have already been able to construct such wires, but they are relatively short and must be isolated from their neighbors by immersing them in a sea of other, non-conducting molecules.
