Why is copper made into electric wire?
Copper is a very good conductor of electricity, and is easy to shape.
What is the third green wire on an electric drill is the wire?
it is the earth wire
Hans christian oersted made the hypothesis that when an electric current flowed through a wire it acted like a?
magnet
What is The third green wire on an electric drill is the?
It is earth wire
What kind and type wire can be used to wire an electric cook stove?
The wires must first be heat resistant. For that the best wires that can be used are wires made up of superconductors.
What is the wire that heats up an electric heater made out of?
copper?
Inventor of electric wire?
who invented electric wire
What magnet is made by electric currents?
All electric currents create magnetic fields. If you wind wire into a coil and pass current through the wire, that is an electromagnet.
What is an electric wire made of?
A wire is made out of thin, easy to bend metel and rubber so you don't electricute you're self (at least I think).
Why cant an electric fuse be replaced by electric wire?
Because then it wouldn't 'blow' at the prescribed amperage. -A fuse is made with very fine tolerance wire to melt at an EXACT amperage.
How does an electric current flow in an electric circut?
Electric current is made to flow in a wire by applying a presure of extra electrons at one end of the wire .. this excites the atoms in the wire and that excitement is transfered to the other end of the wire along the way the excitement is displayed as light, heat, or magnetism used to turn motors
How is an electric magnet made?
An electromagnet can be made simply. When an electric current flows in a wire it creates a magnetic field around the wire. By winding the wire into a coil we can strengthen the magnetic field. Electromagnets are made from coils like this.
What property of a wire increases when is made thinner?
It's resistance to electric current increases.
When a wire is made smaller the resistance increases. what happens to electric current?
increase
What is made coiling wire around iron and passing an electric current through it?
Electromagnet.
What property of wire increases when it is made longer?
Its length, obviously. But also its electric resistance.
What property of a wire increases when it is made thinner?
It's resistance to electric current increases.
