Usually in a 230 volt situation, there are three wires. One wire is called neutral or ground. When you hook a motor or lamp between one wire and neutral, you get 115 volts. They are designated usually as L1, L2 and neutral. Things hooked between L1 and L2 are at 230 volts. Anything between L1 and neutral or L2 and neutral are at 120 volts.

What will happen if someone only connect one of the wires to the bulb holder?

If someone only connect one of the wires to the bulb holder, the circuit will be open and the lamp will not light. This is the same principal that a switch in the circuit does. It opens and closes the circuit.


A circuit that has only one path for the current is called?

Series, because everything in the circuit is in series.


What is a dedicated circuit?

A "dedicated" circuit is one to which only one device is or can be connected; therefore the circuit is "dedicated" to the device. A NON dedicated circuit will therefore be one to which multiple devices can connect, such as the wall outlets in your home. Multiple wall outlets are connected to a common circuit breaker, making that an example of a non-dedicated circuit.


Can I use a 12v 18 amp battery and connect to a circuit that asks for 12v Static current 6mA Can I use resistors to lower the amps on the 12v 18amp battery or can I just connect it up?

Just connect the circuit. It will only draw the amps it needs to operate. It is just like connecting a 100 watt light bulb that draws way less than 1 amp, to a 20 amp household circuit.


What is the part of a circuit that connects or disconnects the circuit?

Switches, fuses and circuit breakers are examples of some of the electrical parts which can connect or disconnect a circuit to a source of current. A diode does it for alternating current, but only for one half of each cycle. "Connecting" allows an electric current to flow through the circuit. "Disconnecting" stops an electric current from flowing through the circuit.


All circuit boards contain microchips?

Circuit board is the name for the place / board that parts are put on to to make a circuit. All circuit do not have to have a microchip but that board will not do anything fancy. A speaker crossover for example is the only thing I can think of. All micro chips will need a circuit board to connect power, inputs, outputs, or just to mount into a package.


How many wires must a current have?

Current needs only one wire to flow in, but a circuit needs at least two wires to connect the source to the load.
