No, you can leave them in place as long as the circuit is dead and cannot be connected again.

How many wires does a straight 220V circuit have?
A straight 220V circuit utilizes two wires per circuit.
When a device is removed from an outlet box which wire must be connected in such a way that it maintains continuity?
All three wires, the "hot", neutral and the ground must all maintain the integrity of the circuit. This is why pigtails are connected from the main circuitry to the receptacle or switch devices so that they can be removed without opening the electrical circuit.
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.

A straight 220V circuit utilizes two wires per circuit.
Why does compass deflection decrease as resistors are removed from a circuit?
wirewound you mean? seams pretty self explanitory, wires that are wound form a mag field.
How do you correct a short circuit?
A short circuit is repaired by first finding out where the short circuit occurred. On major faults usually the wires are removed and new wires are installed. On minor faults, the wire that shorted is separated from the offending wire or separated from the grounding medium. To put the conductor back into service the wire's insulation has to be brought back to the level of what the wire was when it was new. Once that is done the circuit can be re-energized.
What do long straight lines represent in a circuit diagram?
They are the wires through which current flows when the circuit is closed.

All three wires, the "hot", neutral and the ground must all maintain the integrity of the circuit. This is why pigtails are connected from the main circuitry to the receptacle or switch devices so that they can be removed without opening the electrical circuit.
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
