What is a device that reverses direction of electric current?
A device that reverses the direction of electric current is called a switch or a commutator. These devices can change the flow of current by opening or closing a circuit in the opposite direction. Such devices are commonly used in electrical systems to control the direction of current flow.
What electrical current flows through electrical home devices?
The electrical current for a home device travels in a circuit.
Electrical device activated by a current that opens or closes another circuit?
An electrical device activated by a current that opens or closes another circuit is called a relay. A contactor also falls into this category.
Can a fuse be used to store and electrical charge?
No, a fuse is a safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from excessive current by breaking the circuit when the current exceeds a certain level. It is not meant to store electrical charge.
What is the Difference between circuit and parallel circuit?
A series circuit is one in which the current must pass through all the electrical devices in the circuit in turn. A parallel circuit is one in which the current passes through each electrical device on the circuit following separate, independent path from all other devices on the circuit, one for each electrical device.
Which wire is hot in the electrical circuit?
The wire that is hot in an electrical circuit is the wire that carries the current from the power source to the device or appliance.
Which wire is the hot wire in an electrical circuit?
The hot wire in an electrical circuit is the wire that carries the current from the power source to the device or appliance.
How does the direction of an electrical circuit move on a battery device differ from the direction of an ac current?
In a DC circuit (battery), the lower potential is always on one 'end' of the circuit so the current always flows in the same direction. In a AC circuit, a wave is generated so each end cycles between high and low potential. Current always flows towards lower potential and changes direction every time the higher/ lower potential changes
What do a resistor do in a circuit?
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.

What is the purpose of the live and neutral wires in an electrical circuit?
The live wire carries the current to the electrical device, while the neutral wire completes the circuit by providing a return path for the current.
What is the device for amps?
An electrical device may draw amps, but there is not a device that equates to amps. Amperes are the measure of current flow in a circuit.
