What a safety device that melts if the current is too big?
It is a fuse, a piece of metal wire, usually in a glass tube, that can only just carry the maximum allowed current. A current greater than the maximum allowed will melt the wire.
How can a fuse stop the current flowing if the currents to big?
it gets broken A fuse is specifically designed so that when the current exceeds its specified rating, the fuse itself fails in some way (usually, part of it melts or burns out). When the fuse "blows", the circuit is cut open, so current can no longer flow.
How big is 23 gauge wire?
Standard 23 gauge wire is (0.0226 inches/0.57404 mm) thick in diameter.
Why noload current in big motors is higher than load current?
That is not always true.
In electronics wires that carry equal but opposite currents are often twisted together to reduce their magnetic effect at distant pointswhy is this effective?
A pair of wires which carry equal and opposite currents are called balanced transmission lines. When current flows in a single wire in one direction, it creates a magnetic field around the wire and acts like a coil. This is called unbalanced and coaxial cable is an example. With balanced transmissions lines, the current travelling in one direction cancels out the magnetic field produced by the current flowing in the other wire in the opposite direction. Each attempts to create a magnetic field in opposite directions around the transmission line and, since the currents are equal, the magnetic fields are exactly cancelled out and very little or no magnetic field is produced. One big advantage of balanced transmission lines is the lack of what is called, "common mode" noise. Currents in wires not only produce magnetic fields, they are affected by them. Noise produced in one wire is produced equally in the other and the current and voltage difference between them remains the same. Twisting the wires has little extra effect in free space but does help when the transmission lines come close to other wires and other metals. If the two wires were straight and one of them was close to a metal surface, there would be a greater capacitance between the wire closer to the surface changing the velocity factor of one wire and not the other. Twisting the wires balances out capacitive effects in such circumstances.

That's called a fuse.

Event that marks the beginning of the universe?
Current theory is the Big Bang
How many volts can a strip of metal take before it melts?
It depends on a number of factors ! What kind of metal is it ? How big is the piece of metal ? What amps is the current running at ? Do you mean not enough information to answer.

2000 ranger new alternator and batter not charging?
There is a wire from the alternator to the starter motor. On the starter motor end, there is a fusible link that sometimes melts. With the engine off, check the battery volts and check the volts on the big red alternator wire. If they are not the same voltage, the link is open. If the link is open, the battery will not charge
Where does the wire from the solenoid connect to?
There are a couple of wires on the solenoid. The big heavy wire, a cable, goes to the battery's positive terminal (on almost all vehicles still on the road). The smaller wire is the "actuation" wire, and it has to tie into the ignition key somehow. There should be "12 volts" on the big heavy contact to the solenoid 'cause the cable goes directly to the battery. When you hit the key (turn it to "Start"), the "12 volts" should then appear on the "small" wire to energize the solenoid, which will then close the big contacts and energize the starter motor. Remember that the solenoid is a big, high current switch, and it has to shut to apply the battery voltage to the starter motor. Lots of amps flow when the starter is energized, and the cable and the contacts handle all that current. And the solenoid, besides being a high current switch, is an electrically operated one. The key powers up the solenoid, which then closes the big high current contact set. It is far from practical to have the ignition key directly close the high current path from the battery to the starter. No vehicles do this. The solenoid and starter are grounded to the engine block, and this provides a return path to the battery for the high current flowing through the starter when it is energized, and also for the low current flowing through the solenoid when it is operating. Hope this helps. Good luck.
What wires go to Solenoid on 1969 Ford Mustang?
1 big wire to batt positive other big wire to starter, 1st smalll wire to ign switch 2nd small wire to ground.
Where is the fusible link 03 dodge diesel?
Its the big black wire coming off the battety going into a smaller wire that connects to the alternator. the big black cable connects to a wire 4x as small that wire is the fusible link.
What is a big battle in fire and ice?
Ice because if ice melts i turns into water which extigwishes fire. Fire because when ice melts and turns into water the fire makes it evaporate.
Who is Edward Norton's current girlfriend?
I think he is going out with a girl called Shauna Roberston. She's a big Hollywood producer.
What wires go to what post on a starter for a '93 Saturn dohc?
The big red wire and the orange or blue wire go on the big stud in the middle. The small purple wire goes on the smaller stud
