When connecting two wires can glue be used and still have an electrical current pass through the wires?

You would have to be crazy to do this. Go to your local hardware store and buy connectors made for the purpose. Only make connections inside an electric box, not just at random places in a cable. Make sure to turn off power before doing this. Both wire nuts and push type connectors are available in any hardware store.
If wires are lower current in an appliance or devise you may be able to solder and tape or use heat shrink tubing.

What is a shunt resistor used for?
A shunt resistor is used to carry a majority of the electrical current away from the outlet. This causes the risks of electric shock to be down significantly, but still not completely gone.
What is Reverse Saturation Current of a diode?
When a diode is operated as reverse bias the current flow is almost completely blocked. A small amount of current is still able to travel in reverse through the diode and this is referred to as the reverse current saturation.
What happens if you accidentally reverse the wiring in a light switch?
A single pole, single throw light switch simply interrupts the electrical current. It makes absolutely no difference which way you connect the wires, it will still interrupt a circuit when connected in series.
Why does resistance of human body decrease to electricity when body is wet?
If you increase resistance, current is restricted (river is damed up). If you decrease restistance, current flows faster (river is wide and open). With water on our skin the current can travel across our skin instead of having to move through our bodies. The current has found a new path. Not inside our bodies but outside our bodies where there is much less resistance. Which is better? A large highway with a traffic jam or the side road next to the highway with the traffice jam The side road is effected by the traffic jam, but is still faster than the highway.
What is used to move electrical energy from one place to another?
For all practical purposes, we are still limited by wireswhen we need to move electrical energy.
If there are 2 points with different potential energy will there still be an electrical current through the circuit?
Not necessarily. The two points with potential difference, will have to be connected via a conductor, for current to flow.Provided that a circuit exists, then current WILL flow.
Would there still be a current if rubber tubing replaced a copper wire?
No, It would not still work because, Rubber isn't a conductor. Rubber is an insulator. Though if you put a copper wire there and put rubber around it there will still be a electrical current that flows through.
How can an ohmmeter be damaged?
By connecting it to a circuit with the power still applied. Ohm meters work best when the component under test is removed from the circuit to eliminate parallel paths of current through other components.
What is an electrolyte that is completely dissolved in a solution and still can conduct a sharp electrical current called?
Strong Electrolyte...I think.
Can the connecting rod have a small groove an still be ok?
Any damage on a connecting rod means it must be replaced!!!
Why does a circuit stop working when you remove the battery?
The battery is the power source of the circuit. It supplies current to the circuit and the circuit is simply a path for the current to follow. When you remove the current (battery), the path still exists but there is no current going through it.
Transistors can be combined within the CPU to do different jobs. Give two examples of jobs they might do.?
If your still looking for the answer it is essentially a switch controlled by an electrical current.
What is a shunt resistor used for?
A shunt resistor is used to carry a majority of the electrical current away from the outlet. This causes the risks of electric shock to be down significantly, but still not completely gone.
Do you have to hook up a ground wire to a tamper proof outlet?
Yes, you can still have an electrical fault current on an appliance or the wiring which needs to have a ground return path for personal and equipment safety.
Why is there no effect on other branches in a parallel circuit when one branch of the circuit is opened or closed?
this is because the energy can still flow through the other branches.
Do European appliances work in the US?
yes they do! :) Europe uses a different voltage than the US and also has different shaped electrical plugs, so you can't just plug a European appliance into an American electrical outlet. If you can get the right kind of current, then the appliances will still work.
