Circuit in a sentence?
A circuit needs at least three electrical contacs.
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.
What wire carries the electrical current to the appliance?
The black wire is the hot wire through which the electrical current flows to the appliance. The left over voltage which is usually zero flows back to the main circuit panel through the white neutral wire where it flows to ground.
What happens when you connect live wire to ground?
This is a short circuit which will create sparks. The breaker or fuse on the circuit will likely trip or blow.
Do you join brown electrical wire to red electrical wire and blue electrical wire to black electrical wire?
yes
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.
What happens when a switch is closed in an electrical circuit the wire between the poles of the horseshoe magnet deflects upward you can conclude that the left of the magnet is?
no
What happens if you over power an electrical circuit?
fuse blows, breaker trips, wire burns. if the latter is in your house, a smoke alarm is disireable.
Can aluminum be used to close an electrical circuit?
Of course. Aluminum is not the best, but it IS used for electrical wire.
What happens if a wire breaks?
The circuit stops working because of the short circuit
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 happens if you shorten the resistance wire in a circuit?
It shortens
How do circuit breakers keep the wire in an electrical circuit from overheating?
They reduce the flow of electrons.
