Henry W. Seely of New York in 1882
Why is armature connected to a sprinngy steel strip?
In an electric bell, a flat steel spring brings the armature back to its original position.
How does a line tester work?
The Line Tester or Neon Screwdriver is tools specified for electrical works, though we can use it as Screwdriver in special case. The Line Tester is one of the important tools of electrician. The Line Tester should be a tool of home ‘Tool Box’.Before we learn about the Line Tester we must learn about some common terms and get some basic knowledge of electricity.All Electrical device and appliance use maximum three wires and minimum two wires for electric supply. These wires differ from one another and denoted by specific namesoPhase Wire:This wire is also called as “Live Wire” or “Hot Wire”.oNeutral Wire:This wire is also called as “Cold Wire”oEarth Wire:This wire is used for safety purpose.The Phase Wire in alternating current supply is very important and dangerous. This wire is also called Live or Hot because it has higher potential difference from Neutral or Earth wire. When two different potential wires come in contact current flows in the circuit.The potential difference between two wires or terminals is called ‘Voltage’. In India the potential difference between Phase and Neutral is specified as 220 Volt. While the difference between Neutral and Earth is about 5Volt.Construction of Line Tester or Neon Screwdriver:The Line Tester is tool used to identify the Phase or Live Wire. The main parts of a Line Tester are shown in diagram.1.Metallic Rod:This cylindrical metallic rod is designed as Flat Screwdriver on one end while the other end and major portion of rod remains covered inside the Insulated Transparent Body.2.Resistance:The Resistance is a device which prevents the flow of electric current through it. The resistance of Line Tester reduces the flow of current through it. This resistance makes the tester a safe tool.One end of resistance gets connected with cylindrical metallic rod and another gets connected with the neon lamp.3.Neon Lamp:The Neon lamp is most important part of Line Tester; due to the neon lamp the line tester is also called Neon Screwdriver. The neon lamp is very similar to torch lamp or bulb. One terminal of neon lamp gets connected with Resistance and another terminal gets connected with metallic spring.4.Metallic Spring:The Metallic Spring is used to make connection between Neon lamp and metallic touch screw.5.Metallic Touch Screw:The metallic touch screw is a part of Line Tester which is used to tight all the above components inside the Insulated transparent plastic body and contact with metallic spring connected with Neon Lamp.The outer body of Line tester is made of transparent hard Plastic.Working of Line Tester:When the Screwdriver end of Line Tester comes in contact with the Live/ Hot wire and we touches the rear metallic touch screw a circuit gets completed and the current moves through metallic rod.The metallic rod is connected with a resistance the electric current passes through the resistance. Due to the resistance the great amount of electric current drops and a small amount of electric current passes through it to the next component, viz Neon Lamp and reaches till the metallic touch screw which is in contact of our finger.A small current passes through our body to earth and complete the circuit. As the circuit gets completed a current starts flowing and the filament of Neon lamp starts glowing. This indicates that the Phase of electric supply is present in the touched wire.It is advice to work with electricity only in presence of adult; who has good knowledge to deal with electricity; and take all necessary measures for safe handling of electricity. Never! Never try to work on electricity without proper guidance and care.Precautions:When ever you use a line tester take some precautionsEnsure that the tester is working properly.Ensure that the tester is not broken.Don’t touches the open wire even tester shows absence of phase or hot supply.Never try to test the presence of phase or hot wire of any high voltage supply source the flow of current can be lethal
What type of money is nonconvertible and has no intrinsic?
flat money
What is an electric flat iron?
An electric flat iron is a type of clothes iron that runs on electricity. The first electric flat iron was invented by Henry W. Seely.
Do electric charges flow all the way through on open circuit?
No, nothing flows through an open circuit. If there are two flat plates on either side of the open circuit, facing each other, electric charge builds up on each plate until the plates are at the supply voltage. If the voltage is AC, current will flow all the time as the voltage changes, because the flat plates form a capacitor that can pass AC. But there is no net power.
What is a ring circuit?
Usually,there are many mains sockets in a flat to provide electricity for electrical appliances.Do you know how these mains sockets are connected to the electric cable that carries electricity to the flat? The electric cable that carries electricity to a flat is connected to the consumer unit.In the consumer unit,the electric cable branches into a number of parallel circuits that deliver electricity to ceiling lamps,mains sockets,air conditioners(or other appliances with high working current),etc.The circuit that delivers electricity to main sockets exists in form of a ring and is therefore called a ring circuit. The ring circuit provides two paths for electric current to flow from the consumer unit to the mmain sockets.Each path only carries half of the electric current.Therefore,the chance of overloading the circuit is reduced.Besides,if one of the paths is damaged,there's still another path for carrying electric current.
What is a flat budget?
A flat budget is one that does not allow for price reductions or increases. An example of a flat budget would be paying the electric company a set amount every month regardless of the cost of the electricity used.
Flat collector plates through which water flows are found in what solar energy systems?
hot water solar energy systems
What happens when a river flows over a flat surface like a plateau?
the plateau will get flat
How does the electricity flow through a flat?
Electricity doesn't actually flow "through" anything, it travels on the exterior or surface of the conductor. Assuming the "flat" you are talking about is a conductor for a circuit board. The way a/c electricity travels is best described like an analog sound wave with a crest and a peak, d/c is an always on or off with little to no fluctuations. Electricity can also arc or jump if you will such as lightning where no conductor is needed just a positive and negative.
What if you have electricity as a flat rate for the month is it a fixed or variable?
Flat rate = fixed.
How energy is transformed in tha electric flat iron?
1. Electric flat iron -electrical energy===> mechanical energy===>heat energy
What is the physical meaning of electric flux?
Electric Flux is generally accepted as the amount of electric field passing through a perpendicular area. For curved surfaces, we sum up infinately small contribututions to small areas that are infinitely small and thus flat.
Will a flat battery function as a conductor of electricity?
yes, it is

there wont be any electriity once it is flat!!
