What do you understand by square mm of electric cables?

In European countries and elsewhere, the cross-sectional area of electric cables and busbars are expressed in square millimetres. The larger the cross-sectional area, the greater the current-carrying capacity.


Why do electric cables get hot?

cables get hot because they have too much current running through them. heating wires are made to run hot. cables are not. get larger wire


How is energy lost from power stations to homes?

The resistance of the cables that conduct the electric current away from the substations causes the cables to dissipate some of the electrical energy in the form of heat.


Will taking the battery cables off and touching the cables together clear the codes from the computer?

NO.


Why can birds sit on a wire without getting an electric shocked?

You only get an electric shock if you are touching both the ground and the electric wire, (or close enough to both for the electricity to arc) Birds sat on electricity cables are not close enough to the ground for the electricity to arc, therefore they do not get shocked.


What is the white material inside electric heaters?

The white material inside electric heaters is magnesium oxide. This same material is used in Pyrotenax cables to withstand heat in high ambient temperature areas. On these cables a #14 wire is given a 20 amp current rating.


Why do jumper cables melt when trying to jump start a car even when they are hooked up correctly?

There its too much current running through them. If they are hooked up properly then you either have a short some where (positive wire that is touching ground) or the jumper cables can't handle the current demanded by the vehicle you are trying to start. If this is the problem, you need jumper cables that are a thicker gage wire.


Why are there no electric cables in Singapore?

Electricityis produced by the movement of protons?

No. If a flood of protons did move from place to place, that certainly would constitute an electric current. But that's not what's happening when something in your hand, in your home, or in your car has an electric current in it. Those electric currents are the movement of electrons through the wires or cables that we see around us in daily life.


What elements make electric cable?

Copper and aluminium are used for electric cables.
