Why do you need a metal wire in a circuit?

To conduct the electricity!


Which would be best suited to form a circuit?

Metal wire


Where are grounds for lighting system 1984 Oldsmobile Delta 88?

The entire vehicle is the ground, if you look at the wire from the negative terminal of the battery you will see that it connects to the engine metal, and in most cases another goes to the frame or body. That means that any circuit that has a power wire and is touching metal is grounded and will complete a circuit if power is applied. In the event that the circuit is attached to plastic then a short wire from there to the nearest metal can be found.


What is riostat?

If u are talking something relevant to electric circuit, then it is rheostat and not riostat. It is a device which has metal wire with n no. of turn wound to a metal rod and is attached to electric circuit to decrease the resistance.


Do all the electrons in a wire move to make the current in a circuit?

No, only the outer electrons of the metal atoms.


What happens if you join two ends of the wire with a metal paper clip?

If you join two ends of a wire with a metal paper clip, you effectively create a closed circuit, allowing electric current to flow through the wire and the paper clip. This can cause the wire to heat up due to resistance, and if the circuit is powered by a high voltage or current, it may lead to overheating or even damage to the wire or clip. Additionally, if the wire is part of a larger electrical system, it could potentially create a short circuit, posing safety hazards.


How does short circuit occur?

A short circuit occurs when a low-resistance path is created between two points in a circuit, causing excessive current flow. This can happen due to a wire touching another wire, a conductor coming into contact with metal objects, or a component failure. When a short circuit occurs, it can potentially lead to overheating, damage to components, and even fire.


Will a short thick metal wire have better resistance compared to a long narrow metal wire?

"Better" depends on how much resistance you need for your circuit design.A short thick wire will have less resistance than a long thin wire of the same substance.Whether that's better or worse depends on how you plan to use the wire.


Which wire is the common wire in a typical electrical circuit?

The common wire in a typical electrical circuit is the neutral wire.


Why should phase and neutral wire be put together in the metal conduit?

to prevent live conduit in case of short circuit


Why is the fuse blowing on your 1989 Volvo 245 overdrive circuit?

Probably because of the missing insulation from the wire leading from the solonoid on the transmission, causing the bare wire to contact a metal surface, thus creating a short circuit and blowing the fuse.


Explain why using a metal paper clip to connect to the wire at B will light the light bulb?

The metal paper clip will conduct electricity, so completing the circuit.
