There are many types of electrical circuits and each one is wired differently. Without knowing the specific circuit that needs to be wired, this question can not be answered.

What is the wire in an electrical circuit called?
In electrical terminology it is called a conductor. On PC boards it is called a trace.
What does an enameled wire that's wrapped around an iron nail connected to an electrical circuit create?
An electromagnet.
What is happening when you turn an electric circuit off?
When you switch off an electrical circuit you tend to create a 'break' in the circuit, preventing the electric current to flow around the circuit, this can be caused by a simple switch or a break in the circuit, e.g a disconnected wire.
Why bulb not glows when circuit shorts?
There is a concept that one must understand when working with electricity; "electrical current will always take the path of least resistance." Many people don't understand the difference between a "short" circuit and an "open" circuit. An open circuit is when there is effectively no return path from the electrical source back. It's like when a light switch is turned off and the light isn't on. A SHORT circuit would be when the light switch is turned on but another wire is across the same wire pair, resulting in an effectively shorter path between the conductors of the power source. The electrical current then takes the path of least resistance, leaving no electrical current for the bulb. Naturally, there is that gray area between a short circuit and an open circuit, that's where things run properly... in general.
How do circuit breaker keep the wires in a electrical circuit from overheating?
A circuit breaker is designed to 'break' in a circuit if a short circuit (or other malfunction) occurs. This prevents overheating (or burn-out) of the circuit wires. In older systems, you would need to find which fuse wire has fused and replace it. In a circuit breaker, once the fault has been found and corrected, the breaker is simply switched back on.
Where does the wire come from in an electrical circuit?
The wire comes from the installer or manufacturer of the circuit.
What job does a wire do in a circuit?
The wire in a circuit helps to pass power to the electrical appliances.
What type of electrical circuit will be broken if a wire breaks?
Current will cease to flow in a series electrical circuit.
Why does an electrical circuit have a copper wire?
If you mean a bare copper wire, that is the "ground" wire.
Why are the live wire and neutral wire never joined together?
An electrical circuit forms a loop. The "live" or hot wire supplies the voltage, which is returned on the neutral. If the hot wire and neutral wire were connected together without a load between them, the circuit would be short out and trip the circuit's protection device.
Can aluminum be used to close an electrical circuit?
Of course. Aluminum is not the best, but it IS used for electrical wire.
How could you get more than one electrical circuit in the garage?
Run another wire from the electrical panel.
What is the wire in an electrical circuit called?
In electrical terminology it is called a conductor. On PC boards it is called a trace.
What are all the parts on a circuit board?
to assemble a circuit you just need to connect one end of a wire to the battery and the other to the light bulb ( could be another electrical device) now take an other wire and connect on end of it to the other side of the battery and the other to the other side of the light bulb( or an other electrical device. if your circuit is including a switch this is how you do it: ( you will need three wires for this circuit if you have one electrical device) connect one end of the wire to the battery and the other to the switch.Grab another wire and attach one end of it on the other side of the switch and the other to the electrical device (light bulb). Grab another wire and attach one end of it to the other side of battery and the other to the other side of your electrical device. And there you have it how to assemble a circuit
How do circuit breakers keep the wire in an electrical circuit from overheating?
They reduce the flow of electrons.
What are some substances in an electrical circuit?
Mainly copper for the wire, pvc for the insulation.
In electrical circuits what wire protects the operator?
Earth wire is meant to protect the user in case there is earth fault in the device or circuit. Only earth wire alone is not sufficient. It needs to be provided with suitable circuit breaker that breaks the circuit automatically.
