Where does the electricity in the outlets come from?
It comes from the cable.
Why doesn't electricity travel down metal utility poles?
The wires that carry electricity are not in contact with the poles, isolated by insulated "bell" spacers and by physical separation. The poles are conductive, as evidenced by lightning hitting them. But they are well grounded and sturdy enough to withstand the strikes. However, a bolt can create inductance that temporarily affects the current flowing through the wires.
What should you do to get the electricity back to several outlets in your house which ran out of electricity and the reset button can't be pushed down after you pressure washed your house?
If you pressure washed the house and now some of the outlets don't work I suggest that the house didn't "run out of electricity", but you probably got water into one or more of the outside outlets. Most outlets on newer homes are equipped with a special breaker called a "Ground Fault Interrupter" which is a device that is intended to keep YOU from being shocked. The GFI is probably reacting normally to the wet condition and will probably function normally once the water has evaporated. Wait until you think everything is dry then try to reset it again.
How are electrical charges similar to magnetic poles?
There are two oppositely "charged" poles for both electric and magnetic. For magnetism we call the poles North and South, while for static electricity we call the poles positive and negative. Of course, you can walk away with the electrically charged positive pole, while you can't walk away with the North "charged" pole. There are differences. There is (apparently) no magnetic monopole.
What are facts about magnets that kids would like to know?
Kids might like to know that magnets have two poles (North and South), that opposite poles attract, that magnets attract certain metals but not all, and that magnets are used in the creation of electricity.
Where does the electricity in the outlets come from?
It comes from the cable.
Find out what wires do?
Wires just connect electricity cords/outlets.
Do stereo speakers use electricity to operate?
yes, they are plugged into outlets
What do electricity and electrical energy have in common?
Positive and negative poles
Do trees help with electricity?
Other than providing poles to hold powerlines, no.
How is electricity like magnetic attraction?
Electricity is like magnetic attraction because like charges in electricity repel similar to the way like magnetic poles repel.
What are some causes of death by electricity?
Lightning, touching housegold outlets, touching toasters in inappropriate places.
Are power- saving devices like the ones you plug in outlets true?
It is true that power saving devices that are plugged into outlets will use less electricity than devices that are not specifically ENERGY STAR rated. Some devices will draw a small amount of electricity even when not turned on.
What is the use of a conservatory outlet?
It conserves electricity which means it uses less electricity then other outlets so it'd save you money. That is the biggest reason on why it's preferred.
Which wires carry electricity to a common house?
The highest wires on the poles are the ones that carry electricity,the lower ones are generaly phone and cable tv.
Which unit of electricity measures electrical force and 115 is a common value?
Volt....common household outlets are 115V
What are some benefits of using a fiberglass flagpole?
Resistant to sun, moisture, and corrosion. Safe. Fiberglass poles do not conduct electricity. Fiberglass poles do not attract lightning. Quiet. No annoying clanging halyards common to metal poles
