What is electical circuits?
It is a way in which electrons from a voltage or current source stream. Electric current stream in a shut way is called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is known as the source of electrons.
Which electrical protective device is designed to detect a difference in a current between circuit wires and interrupt the circuit and stop the flow of electricity?
A resistor is a device designed to detect difference in current and stop the flow of electricity. On most every type of electric engine or circuit has a resistor.
Why do electrical wires have plastic covering?
Electrical wires have plastic covering as when electric current flows through the copper wires and mistake we hold it so we may get an electric shock.
What effect will occur if the intermediate switch is replaced by a double pole switch?
The circuit will not work. In a three way lighting circuit system the middle switch needs to cross the traveller wires to be effective. A double pole switch in the circuit will just open both traveller wires and disrupt the current flow in both wires. No current flow, no lights.
What is overload current?
A current greater than which a circuit is designed to carry , may melt wires or damage elements of the circuit.This is known as overloading of current.
When wires are connected to the terminals of a battery. what causes electric current in the circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
What can connect all the components in a circuit so that an electric current can flow?
Wires
What is a current circuit?
A current circuit refers to a closed path through which electric current flows. It is formed by connecting various electrical components, such as resistors, capacitors, and inductors, with conducting wires. The current circuit allows the flow of electric charges, usually in the form of electrons, from the power source to the load.
Why an electric connection has 2 wires?
Two wires are needed so that the electric current has a circuit to flow round. For a simple circuit, the voltage between the wires, multiplied by the current in amps, gives the power in watts, which is how fast energy is used up (joules per second). Also, the voltage divided by the current gives the resistance of the load, in Ohms.
How a fuse controls the flow of electric current in a circuit?
A fuse does not control the flow in a circuit, it limits the current in a circuit. If the load in a circuit shorts out the fuse link melts and opens the circuit and stops the current flow and prevents the wires feeding the circuit from melting and catching fire. resist
Why are two wires used to carry electric current instead of a single wire?
It takes two wires to complete a circuit. They are commonly called a positive and negative. Without a flow of electricity both in and out of an electric item, there will no be a circuit and the item will not work.
What happens when an electric current encounters resistance?
An electron traveling through the wires and loads of the external circuit encounters resistance.
When does electric current behave like a magnet?
An electric current is always surrounded by a magnetic field. This is more noticeable (for example, it can be detected with a compass) in the case of DC, and if the two wires of a circuit are separate.
What is the evidence that an electrical circuit is closed?
When that circuit has no breaks. It is an endless path of current flow.
How Does Electric Current Travel through a Circuit?
Current flows through a circuit in the forms of electrons. They are drawn to the positive end of the circuit and propelled by the negative end of the circuit.
How many wires have electric circuit?
It depends! IDIOT
