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.

WHY do the connecting wires used in electric circuits not produce any heating effect?
because of its covering.
What are the advantage and disadvantages of heating effect of current?
Disadvantages of the heating effect of electric currents are: short circuits, house fires, and explosions. Advantages of the heating effect of electric currents are: electric light, toasting food, and keeping a room warm.
How can you describe a cause and effect of an event involving electric and magnetic force?
figure it out by yourself
What is the effect of surge arrester on increase the voltage in medium voltage circuits?
What is the effect of surge arrested on increase the voltage in medium voltage circuits?
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.
Practical application of heating effects of electric current?
Disadvantages of the heating effect of electric currents are: short circuits, house fires, and explosions. Advantages of the heating effect of electric currents are: electric light, toasting food, and keeping a room warm.
When you write a cause and effect essay you describe?
you describe the cause and effect
What has the author Paul Richman written?
Paul Richman has written: 'MOS field-effect transistors and integrated circuits' -- subject(s): Field-effect transistors, Integrated circuits, Metal oxide semiconductors
How would someone describe classic frame electric fireplaces?
ClassicFlame Electric Fireplaces provide a realistic flame effect with five flame settings and heat settings. On or off, the logs and ember bed look realistic and glowing.
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.
What is the effect if there is a sudden flow of electric current?
electric shock
Muscle that contracts in order to cause a miotic effect?
circular muscle
