How many wires does a straight 220V circuit have?
A straight 220V circuit utilizes two wires per circuit.
Why electric wires are covered with insulator?
If electric wires weren't covered with insulation, there would be short circuits.
What happens if you move a switch and the circuit wires are not all connected?
When a switch is open (wires not connected) it is considered off. When a switch is closed it is considered on. If you move a switch and the wires are not connected the the circuit is open and current cannot run throughout the circuit to power the device.
In a shorted circuit what happens to the temperature of the wires?
In a shorted circuit, the temperature of the wires increases. This is because the wires are not perfect conductors - they have resistance - so the large fault current that flows generates a voltage across the wires, which then generates power, generating heat.
What does neutral wire failure do?
Neutral wires are actually ground wires. They enable the circuit to be completed.
How many wires does a straight 220V circuit have?
A straight 220V circuit utilizes two wires per circuit.
What do long straight lines represent in a circuit diagram?
They are the wires through which current flows when the circuit is closed.
Why electric wires are covered with insulator?
If electric wires weren't covered with insulation, there would be short circuits.
What does neutral do?
Neutral wires are actually ground wires. They enable the circuit to be completed.
A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.
What do you mean by a complete closed circuit?
A circuit without any nonconducting wires
Why are circuit made of meatal?
well ummm...... the circuit has metal in it to carry on the wires!
What are the conductors in a circuit?
The wires carrying the power.
What happens if you move a switch and the circuit wires are not all connected?
When a switch is open (wires not connected) it is considered off. When a switch is closed it is considered on. If you move a switch and the wires are not connected the the circuit is open and current cannot run throughout the circuit to power the device.
What wires do you use for an electrical circuit?
wires that have got good conductivity and less losses
How do circuit breakers keep the wires in electrical circuit from overheating?
They reduce the flow of electrons.
In a shorted circuit what happens to the temperature of the wires?
In a shorted circuit, the temperature of the wires increases. This is because the wires are not perfect conductors - they have resistance - so the large fault current that flows generates a voltage across the wires, which then generates power, generating heat.
