Two wires are needed so that the electric current has a circuit to flow round.

For a simple circuit, the voltage between the wires, multiplied by the current in amps, gives the power in watts, which is how fast energy is used up (joules per second).

Also, the voltage divided by the current gives the resistance of the load, in Ohms.

How many wires that are useless in a UTP cable?

That depends on what kind of connection you are running. If you use it with 100Mb connection you are using only 2 pairs. If you use it with 1GB+ connection you are using all 4 pairs or 8 wires.


How do you fix an electric button?

You could use a multimeter to test for the resistance. You may have to dig the wires out and remove the cable skin a bit. Make sure you don't let the open wires touch each other. If you don't get result or you get high resistance, then the connection is bad/broken. Find the location of the bad connection and use a soldering iron to add tin to the to the connection. Test again and when it works properly, use electric tape to cover the wires again. If it's high power like 100V, turn for professional help.

What are the 4 wires on a 97 Lincoln mark VIII electric fan used for?

One wire should be a 'hot' wire, one 'ground' and the two remaining wires would be a 'low' and 'high' speed. I believe that the Lincoln Mark VIII electric fan is a 2-speed fan. The four wires probably have something to do with the 2 circuits required for the 2 different speeds.
