how can one wire lay right next to another and not short out?

Answer 1

well U need to be way more pisific because i and any one elis have no clue what u r talking about but here are a few posibltys

the wire is coat or insolated (meaning the wire has a thin layer of ruber around it {or some other protection as long as the wire is not exsposed})

another reson may be they are not actualy toching each other if that is the case do not toch the wires

they could not be pluged in to a sores of power (such as the wll outlet or a car battery)

maby they are the same polarty (such as both positve + or both nigitve - )

mabey it is low voltige or low amp is it dc (like a car battery ) or is it ac (like a wall outlet) i had some lowvoltige dc lights they were led and i could submirge them under water with no problem sense they were so low voltige (and they even worked under water)

u need to be much more spisific so we know what u r talking about but there was a few posibltys

Answer 2

They are both the same wire. A neutral wire against a ground wire will not short out because they are both connected to the same source and disposition.

Answer 3

Metal has to contact for a short, so technically, two well insulated wires can be glued together (such as the case in many headphones), and not affect each other at all.

Answer 4

Maybe one of the wires has an open.

Answer 5

Even a tiny air gap is fine for low voltages, if you are thinking of the risk of arcing.

Answer 6

because one of them is missing insulation or its grounding out

Answer 7

the coating its an insulation

Answer 8

anti conductivity or dielatic coating...or a simple anti-glucose rubber coating. but dielatic is most likely.

Answer 9

If they are both insulated separately?

Answer 10

using dielectric coating
