What happens to a power line when it's a hot day?
The cable expands, so the lines may be observed to droop on excessively hot days. Conversly, the line tension has to be designed so they don't get too taught on cold days
If you have 2 old conduit lines in the attic that you can feel the current when you touch the how do you replace them and witch wire is black and which is white?
Black is hot, white is neutral, but it sounds like they may be reversed. Turn the power off at the breaker first.
How does electricity come to your house?
Electricity is produced in power station and then passed through to a generator. The generator passes the electricity through lines and then to another generator. it is again passed through lines and then to a primary customer which may be an industry or an electricity company. It is then passed on to a secondary customer through power lines through to your house.
Why do ice storms cause power failure?
because it gets really cold and then it freezes into ice.
Are over head electrical wires a problem?
Only if you touch them :) Some believe the electro-magnetic energy from power lines may cause cancer. Most are concerned with overhead power lines when needed to trim trees, or access other elevated areas.

Cold water lines may have more insulation than hot water lines, otherwise they should both freeze unless there is some agent in the water.
Is there power lines in antarctica?
There may be 'lines' strung between buildings on some research stations, and a few of them may provide power to some buildings. However, there is no 'power grid' or dependable power -- any kind, except wind -- source on the continent.

However it can also go out when the lines are knocked down, or when one's power company may be doing maintenance on that section of the power grid.
What is resonant and non resonant transmission line?
Non resonant transmission lines are longer than resonant lines. However, sometimes power is lost when power lines are too large, so the shorter ones may be favorable for certain frequencies.
