If you press wire to both ends of a battery will it explode or just get very hot?
It will get very hot if nothing but the battery is connected with wire but it won't explode...., in science class we did this, it's called electricity. All you're doing is making an electric circuit. Try connecting wire to a lightbulb, and touch the battery on both ends with the wire also. It will light the lightbulb up. Maybe go back to elementary school. lol
Why do medical imaging machines use x-rays instead of visible light?
Because x-rays - as opposed to visible light - can go through fairly thick parts of the body. Useful if you suspect a broken bone for instance. Visible light will only go through thin parts of your body, like cheeks, earlobes. And will only give a reddish blur at that. Not particularly useful to find out what's going on inside.
What is a material that light cannot travel through?
light can travel through anything. Light here means electromagnetic radiation, not just visible light. Visible light cannot go through anything opaque, such as metal sheets. Other types of electromagnetic radiation, like X-rays, can pass through almost anything. If you want the name ofa material where no EM radiation can pass through, it's thick lead sheet.
On a light switch where does the white wire go and where does the black wire go?
(Note: this is US information. Other countries may use other color codes; consult an electrician in your local area.) Standard color coding for single-phase electrical wiring is that the neutral wire is white and the "hot" wire is some other color, usually but not always black. If the switch has instructions or a wiring diagram, follow that. If not, normally the white wire should be connected to the lighter (silver colored) terminals on the switch and the "hot" wire should be connected to the darker (brass colored) terminals. Some switches interrupt both electrical paths, and in those the terminal screws may be the same color and it doesn't matter which wire goes to which set of terminals (just don't cross them). If there are green terminal screws, those are for the green grounding wire.
How in energy transferred in simple circuits?
The charge travels through the wires to the loads from the power source where then it powers all the loads connected on the wire. This is beneficial, but also it has its disadvantages. When one of the loads (light bulb) goes out all of the loads connected to the wire go out, instead of where in a parallel circuit the branch that has that load that went out dies. The better choice would be a parallel circuit.
Where does the dimmer wire go on a after market radio?
It would go to the dimmer that controls the brightness of the dash lights.
Your light has a dimmer switch on and the light wont work?
Dimmer switches go bad, more often than regular switches.
What is wrong when all your dash lights go dim?
Check the light dimmer switch to see if the lights go dimmer or they stay at the same brightness. It sounds like the dimmer switch is either stuck or bad.
Can light go through transparant stuff?
depends on what kind of transparent item , if it is a glass cup the light will get dimmer.
Why do your dash lights not go on until you use the dimmer switch to turn on the dome light on your 1992 sable fuses look ok what else could it be?
The dash light dimmer switch is worn out. You need to replace it.
Why do the lights go off on my 2000 Buick Regal GS Supercharged Sometimes without warning the headlight go out at night while driving and you have to hit the dimmer and they will come back on?
sounds like you need a new dimmer switch, or there is a loose wire
Can old or weak fluorescent lights explode if they're not changed?
Old fluorescent light do not explode. It will go only dimmer and dimmer or sometimes flickering and flashing on/off when it is defective.
Why a big diameter wire has less resistance?
The situation is similar to a thick versus a thin water hose - water can flow more easily in a thick hose. In the case of a thick wire, there are more places where an electron can go through.
How do you wire a 3-way dimmer switch that has two red wires and one black and one green when the box has two red and two black?
you can only have one dimmer, the other switch needs to be not a dimmer. the green wire is ground, it connects to a bare copper wire found in the box, or to the box itself, if the box is metal. the black wire is"common" it either connects to the wire found in the box that has power in it or to the black wire that goes to the light. the 2 red wires are"travelers" they connect to the wires found in the box that go from switch to switch. if you don't know how to check which wire does what( continuity), it is possible to keep changinging the connections until the switch works. you will want to do this with a conventional switch, and install the dimmer afer you identify what wires are travelers and wich are common. you will destroy a dimmer switch by searching for the right connection. once you have identified the common wires, it will be on the black screw of a 3way switch; you can put that wire on the black wire of the dimmer. one red goes on one traveler, the other on another traveler. there might be a white wire in the box, if it is connected to other white wires and not to the switch, leave it alone. if a single white wire is connected to old switch, it may be a traveler.you will connect a red dimmer wire to this. opening the other switch location will show you if the white wire is used as a traveler.the black wire has to be either power coming in, or the wire going to the light. the reds are just connecting the 2 switches.
How can a malfunctioning indicator light happen?
hi does the indacator light stay on if it does there is a bad earth so go to the battery and the negative the should be quite thick wire going near the the wiper motor tighten the bolt hope this helps
Why would dashboard lights go out when bulbs and fuses are good?
The dash light dimmer switch is turned off or broken.
Where does the white wire from the brake light switch on a 1998 s10 go?
Are you sure its not a ground wire?
