What prevents electricity from leaking out of wires in a circuit?

Because electricity must be conducted in order to move. It is not a liquid.


What must flow through the coil of wire to make the electromagnet work?

An electric current must flow through the coil of wire to make the electromagnet work. This current creates a magnetic field around the coil, inducing magnetism.


What must be done to an ionic compound to make it capable of conducting electricity?

The ionic compound must be melted or dissolved in a liquid to allow the ions to move freely and conduct electricity. In the solid state, the ions are fixed in place and cannot carry an electric current.


Can you create electricity from a magnet?

The simple answer is by induction. Induction is the "sweeping" of a magnetic field across a conductor and the generation of electromotive force (EMF) or voltage in this action. By taking a rotor with many turns of wire on it and rotating it inside a stator, which has a permanent magnetic field (either from permanent magnets or, more likely, an electromagnet), we generate electricity. It's done all the time.


How fast does water have to move to make electricity?

The speed at which water needs to move to generate electricity depends on the design of the hydroelectric power system. In general, water must flow at a minimum velocity of about 3-5 feet per second to turn the turbines and generate electricity efficiently. However, higher velocities may be required for certain systems to generate sufficient power.


Why must you use insulated copper wire for coil of an electromagnet?

So the wire doesn't short itself out. The electricity needs to go through all the windings individually.


What must pass through a coil in order to make an electromagnet?

An electrical current will cause an electromagnet to energise.


If the AC has an outside line that is freezing then how do you check to see if the coil needs to be cleaned and is the coil inside?

The coil is inside. Check to see if the filter is dirty as well. To clean the coil you must remove the front panel to the evap coil. If you have a flat coil you must slide the coil out to clean it. If you have an A coil, take off the plate on the front of the coil and you should be able to visually inspect the coil. It is important that you do not mash the dirt into the coil fins.


What is wet electricity?

WET electricity is a means of transferring electric power without wires. A copper coil of sufficient dimension and diameter exchange an electromagnetic field to a similar coil which reveives the energy. Provided the transmitted energy is considerable the receiver coil should be able to dissipate 40 -60% of the energy transmitted by the transmitter coil at a distance up to 2 meters. The frequency both coils must operate with lies around 9 to MHz.


How do you change a ignition coil on a Chevy Caprice?

It depends on what year it is. 74 and older have a bottle style coil mounted to the intake to the driver's side of the distributor. 75-86 have the coil mounted in top of the distributor cap (make sure you replace the coil with the correct coil. If it has a white wire, it must be replaced with a white wire coil. If it is a yellow wire, it must be replaced with a yellow wire coil). 87-95 uses a square coil mounted to the intake and has two wire conntectors and the coil wire. LT-1 motors use a crank trigger ignition system that has a different coil system altogether. I don't have information on this system.


How does a car coil work?

An ignition coil is two loops or "Coils" of wire one inside the other. When you apply a current to the Coil of wire with less coils of wire it creates a magnetic Field. When the magnetic Field collapses when the electricity is removed this induces a current in both coils of wire. The coil that has just had the power removed from to a very small degree. To the other coil that has many more coils of wire the current induced is very high voltage. This causes the spark to jump the gap on the spark plug. To make this happen correctly the power must be turn on and of very quickly and cleanly.


How does how fossil fuels produce electricity or fuel?

Fossil fuels produce electricity when they are burned to make steam or smoke which turns generators to make electricity. But we must be careful that we are not burning too much fossil fuels so that we will run out one day. :)
