Loose contacts can act like on/off switches in the circuit as they make/break connection. In sensitive circuits, the added resistance during contact may also affect the performance of the circuit itself, particularly if Resistance is part of the circuit design.

What would be the effect of placing a copper rod into an electric circuit?

If the copper rod is connected into the electric circuit in place of a piece of wire, it would have no effect at all on DC or low-frequency circuits. But the box used to hold the circuit would probably need to be bigger, because copper rods normally come in 6-foot lengths.


Which effect of current does the fuse wire in electric circuits utilize?

The heating effect is used. Normally the current flows through the fuse without undue heating. But if too much current passes through, the fuse will heat and melt, thus stopping the current which could cause a fire if it was not stopped.

How can you describe a cause and effect of an event involving electric and magnetic force?

When an electric current flows through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. This is known as electromagnetism. The interaction between electric and magnetic fields is the cause of many phenomena, such as the generation of electromagnetic waves in antennas.
