Can you run electrical along a metal fence?
Yes, as long as it is in a plastic conduit.
What happens when too much electrical current passes through the metal strip on a fuse?
It will burn out.
How high above a metal roof should the electrical service be located?
it should be 5 feet
What is RSC in electrical?
In electrical terms it represents Rigid Steel Conduit. It is also known as Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC).This is not to be confused with Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) also known in the trade as thin wall conduit.
What is the classification of an electrical fire?
An electrical fire is a class 'C' fire. In addition, Class 'A' is combustibles that leave an ash. (Paper, etc.) Class 'B' is flammable liquids. Class 'C' is electrical. Class 'D' is a metal fire.
Why should never place a metal in a plug socket?
it is a fatal risk of getting electrocuted if you insert any metal piece into a plug socket. Hence do not put any metal in to plug socket
What is true of an impact socket when compared to a standard socket?
Impact sockets are made of softer metal.
What conducts electricity that isn't metal?
We all know metal is a conductor of electricity yes but surprisingly water also conducts electricity to! We know this because when you touch a socket or anything electrical we get electrocuted!

Is it safe to glue or tape an electrical socket in place?
No, the receptacle needs the screws in place to complete the bond between the metal component of the receptacle to the metal component in the receptacle's junction box. This bond is entirely separate from the grounding of the receptacle.
What is the difference between an HQI metal halide lamp and a regular metal halide lamp?
An HQI metal halide lamp belongs to the family of metal halide HID lamps. Hydrargyum quartz iodide (HQI) lamps differ from standard metal halide lamps in that they are often smaller and are offered in double ended versions and require a special socket. The gasses and metal halide salts used in HQI and standard metal halide lamps are the same.
Can you wire a light fixture to the wall without an electrical box.?
No. Most light fixtures are designed to be mounted on electrical boxes which are fixed to the building frame work. Mounting the fixture without a box leaves the connection open on one side to a combustible surface. If a problem arises with the connection and heat is generated a fire could start. A surface mounted fluorescent is allowed to be mounted without a box. This is because the connection to the ballast is made inside the metal enclosure of the fixture.
What does EMT stand for in electrical terms?
Electrical Metal Tubing
What is bromine's electrical conductivity?
it is were a metal can not mix with an non metal
Does thickness of a metal affect its electrical resistance?
Metals are conductive, but are not perfect conductors and so they have some electrical resistance. How the resistance of the metal is affected by "thickness" depends on what you mean by thickness. If the electrical current has to flow through a longer piece of metal, then the resistance of the metal to electrical flow would be greater. However, if you take that same length of metal and increase the area of the metal by increasing its "thickness", then the resistance of the metal becomes less.
How does a heater heats the room?
When electric heaters are plugged into the socket, electrical current passes through a metal that converts electrical energy into heat energy. Elsewhere in the heater electrical current passes through a motor attached to a fan. It starts turning. Finally, air from the fan is heated by the metal that has now turned red from heat and is ejected into the room wich raises its temprature. The same principal is used in hair dryers. Hope this helps.
What is uranium electrical conductivity?
Uranium is a metal and as such, it has excellent electrical conductivity.
