How does the switch of an electrical kettle saves energy?
Compared to leaving the kettle on and hot all the time, it certainly saves electrical energy if the kettle is turned off when it's not in use. The switch can be used to perform that vital function.
Why does a light stay on after switch is turned off?
Either the switch is broken or it doesn't go to that light.
Example of energy transformation from electrical to mechanical?
a car being turned off
What type of energy is a lamp plugged in and turned on to light a dark room?
it starts with electrical thats the main one but there is more
What is the science behind a hair dryer?
Electrical energy is turned into heat and wind energy.
When a switch in an electrical circuit is turned off what will happen?
Closing a switch in an electrical circuit will complete the circuit. The supply voltage will then be applied to that circuit, and current will flow through that circuit.
Why is there no electrical power when the van starts but comes on when when the van is turned off and the key is turned back?
Perhaps a bad ignition switch
What should be checked when the AC is turned on and there is an electrical smell?
I had this problem in my 1991 Suburban. It turned out being the A/C, Vent, Heater switch having burned contacts. Had the switch replaced and smell went away.
ETS light comes on when the switch located on the side autmatic shifter is pushed 1999 Sunfire 2.2?
It is supposed to. ETS (Enhanced Traction System) is turned on and off with that switch. Leave it on. The system is on and working when the light is off.It is supposed to. ETS (Enhanced Traction System) is turned on and off with that switch. Leave it on. The system is on and working when the light is off.
How are electrical current and circuits related?
Electrical currents require a circuit to flow. If the circuit is broken, then the electrical current will not flow. A switch is a prime example of this principle. When a switch is off, the circuit is broken. However, when it is turned, the circuit is completed and allows for the electrical current to flow through the appliance.
What does the switch do to the electro magnet?
The switch is turned on to activate the electromagnet, and metal is attracted. Turning off the switch stops the electromagnet from working, and metal is no longer attracted.
What happened when you turned on the switch of the light?
A switch is placed in an electrical circuit in order to place a gap when the switch is off, so the circuit is broken. When the switch is on, the circuit is complete and the electricity can flow round the circuit.
If an insulator with a lamp is connected in a electrical circuit The switch is turned-on What happens?
Please re define "If an insulator with a lamp"
How do you switch on and off the xray machine?
A modern X-ray machine is turned on-and-off by a timer-operated electrical switch. The power is turned on when the operator presses a start button and is turned off automatically by the timer. This is done to reduce the likelihood of operator error.
How does the switch of an electrical kettle saves energy?
Compared to leaving the kettle on and hot all the time, it certainly saves electrical energy if the kettle is turned off when it's not in use. The switch can be used to perform that vital function.
What would you use to transfer electrical energy into light and sound energy?
you flip a light switch on and it is turned into light energy
Can a switch in the off position cause electrical short circuit?
No, once the switch is turned off the circuit is de energized. A de energized circuit can not be shorted out to create a fault.
