What electrical device works by adding primary colors?
Any electrical device that emits Light
What is an extension lead?
An extension lead is an electrical cable which allows one to use a plug-in device away from the wall-socket.
Why does your new shredder say no extension leads?
When a shredder, or any electrical device, says NOT to use an extension lead, or an extension cord, it is because the electrical motor in the device has specific amperage requirements that ensure its ability to run correctly and safely. The cord that comes with the device is designed to handle the proper amperage load coming from the wall socket. If you add an extension cord, you are adding a source of resistance which could affect the performance of the device, but more importantly, this extra resistance could easily melt the outer plastic and cause a fire! If you absolutely must use an extension cord, use a heavy gauge (12 to 16 gauge, the lower the number the better) designed to handle high amperages. You can find these at most any hardware store. If you're not sure what to buy, just ask the salesperson. Whatever you do, do NOT use one of those skinny brown or white extension cords. They're called lamp cords and should only be used for lightbulbs and small items.
In an automotive electrical series circuit what will be the effect of adding additional resistance?
Everything in the series circuit will run dimmer / slower / cooler.Since the available voltage is constant (13.6 volts from the battery), increasing the resistancein the circuit causes the current through each device to decrease.
Is Pressure transducer electrical device or electronics device?
electrical device
What happens to its resistance when an electrical device is heated?
That will depend on the temperature coefficient of resistance of the device, which could be positive (i.e. resistance increases with increasing temperature), negative (i.e. resistance decreases with increasing temperature), or zero (i.e. resistance is unaffected by temperature changes).
What is ment by amplifier?
The official definition of the word amplifier is "an electronic device for increasing the amplitude of electrical signals, used chiefly in sound reproduction."
What are electrical machines and electrical drives?
machine is an electrical device
What electrical device protects home from electrical fire?
The device that protects the home from the start of an electrical fire is an electrical breaker or in some older homes a fuse system.
Which electrical wires bring electricity to an electrical device or motor?
which electrical wires bring electricity to an electrical device or motor The cable, otherwise known as the flex or the lead.
What is medical extension tube and how to use it?
Its a medical device
Is there an electrical switching device for residential use that will either run the furnace or the air conditioner to avoid increasing electrical service size?
A $10 120v or 24v relay tied into the controls of both units will do it, if the electrician is smart enough to know how to wire it in.
