What happens when a start capacitor fails?

An open circuit, by definition, has no continuity, therefore there is no current flow. A failed capacitor in an open circuit would have absolutely no effect.


What is the difference between a fail open valve and a fail closed valve?

Lets liken this to a garden hose, a hose in the normally open position has water flowing through it until it is closed by turning the spigot off, normally closed is the reverse. Oddly enough when it comes to an electronic relay the opposite is true, whereas the switch is in the open (normally open) position therefore having no current passing through it until a switch to close the circuit and allow current to flow. Normally closed has current flowing at all times until the switch interrupts it stopping the flow of electricity.


What will happen if relief valve in hydraulic circuit fails?

when relief valve fails open the system will have nopressure resulting in weak hydraulic operation and if it fails closed( that is the relief valve stuck closed) itwill result in very high system pressure resulting in a very high load on the pump and the enginerunning or driving it.Muawiah Itum


What is the maximum current that can flow through a fuse?

A current rating of a fuse is designed to open a circuit at a specific current flow. This rating is imprinted on the fuse and lets you know what the maximum amount of current the fuse is designed to open at. A fuse is in the circuit to protect the conductor that the current flows through. Never over fuse a conductor's current carrying capacity.


What is generally not a possible condition in an electric circuit?

Current cannot flow through an open circuit.

What happens when the thermostat fails?

When the thermostat in your car fails it usually fails to open which in turn does not allow radiator water to pass through the engine and cool it, so the engine over heats.

What device used to open a circuit if too much current flows through it?

A circuit breaker is a device used to open a circuit if too much current flows through it.


Is there actually current flowing through the return wire?

Yes, there is a current flow through he return wire in a closed circuit. The only time there is no current flow through the return wire is when the circuit is open.


What happen If the Centrifugal switch of a two value capacitor motor using two capacitors fails to open?

I think you over-laod and blow the capacitor


Will an electrical current move through an open circuit or a closed circuit?

electricity


Can you cut open a cell?

Cells are not atoms; you can indeed cut them open. This can happen naturally through a variety of processes.


IF you want to stop a current flow through a device device three in the circuit which one of the following single switches should you open?

If you want to stop the current flow through Device 3 in the circuit, the switch that should be open is Switch S5. When an electric current flows through a long conductor, each free electron moves through a relatively short distance.


When dangerously high current flows through this overheated metal pushes the switch open to create an open circuit What is this?

A circuit breaker.


What is a circuit with no current running through it?

Such a circuit either has no voltage source, or some part of the circuit is open, e.g., an open switch.
