What are switches used for in a circuit?
A switch is a means of making (on) or breaking (off) an electrical circuit.
Is a circuit electrically grounded if it can carry electric current from a short circuit directly to earth?
Yes, This is a common precaution built into many electrical home devices today. This utilizes a 3 conductor 3 pin plug in which the round center pin is electrically connected to the cabinet or housing of the appliance making it grounded. In older appliances that use the 2 conductor method there may be a chance of plugging in the appliance with the blades reversed and making the housing electrically hot. On newer electric appliances that use 2 blades one is made wider which is the ground connection for the plug. The newer appliances can also be made safer yet through the use of double insulation.
Which material wood or copper would you infer to be best for use in making an electrical circuit?

What is a series electrical circuit and parallel electrical circuit?
A series circuit is an electrical circuit that has all the components in one section> A Series Circuit>(Below)5A Parallel Circuit is an electrical circuit that has a main section, plus additional branches for components, so that the current can be dispersed. If the power is dispersed, than the components get a larger current of power, leading them to perform at a higher quality.(This is a parallel circuit... Except that a parallel circuit is connected.)5?5 I hope I answered your question!JSigned: Mihali8
Why. Are metals used for making electrical cables?
aluminium is used for making electrical cables as the metal do not melt easily

Does SIC 3699 cover establishments making appliance and extension cords?
It includes establishments making appliance and extension cords
How does an electric switch help in an electric circuit?
A switch is a means of making (on) or breaking (off) an electrical circuit.
What is the difference between electrical and instrumentation engineering?
Electrical engineering deals with electrical lines, transformers, circuit breakers, power transmission , generation and distribution. Instrumentation engineering is a sub branch of electrical engg. but we can say that Instrumentation engg. is mixture of electrical, mechanical(somewhat), electronics, computer(somehow)..... Instrumentation deals with sensors, transducers, analog and digital controllers, automation etc... so main difference between Instru and Electrical is, Instru. for making plant Automatic and electrical for making plant powered with electricity ....
The circuit element whose purpose is to convert electrical energy into another form of energy is the?
the part of an electric circuit converts electricity into other forms of energy is called a load.
Describe how electrical devices use electrical energy?
in an AC appliance (something with a plug, connected to a socket, connected to the national grid) the electrical energy is transmitted from the power station to your house/home.take the example of a light bulb,SCIENCE EXPLANATION the electrons in the wire are free and can move about they circulate round the completed circuit carrying energy and offloading it to where there is an absence of it. The light bulb takes the energy from the electrons and releases the energy again as Thermal and Visual energy into the atmosphere and the electrons continue around the circuit where they can pick up energy again.SIMPLIFIED EXPLANATION when the switch is on the energy flows round and gives energy to the light bulb making it work.if you have a question of what i just said send me a message on my profilehope this answers your question
