What does voltage cause the flow of?
there is a difference in electrical potential energy.
A short circuit in what is the most common cause of automobile fires?
The electrical wiring in a car can cause fires. However, the most serious fires in modern automobiles are caused by leaking fuel lines.
What electrical quantity is the same throughout a series circuit?
In any series circuit, there is one and only one path for current flow. All the current flowing in the circuit will flow through all of the devices in that circuit. A break at any point in the circuit will cause current flow to cease. Lastly, it is current that is the same at any point in the circuit where we'd care to measure it.
What is the device used to keep electrical circuits from overheating?
A fuse is a device used to keep electrical circuits from overheating is not a true statement. A fuse is used to protect the wire of the circuit from an over current being applied to the circuit. This over current could be caused by a couple of scenarios. Two non insulated conductors touching one another and creating a short circuit. Another cause could be an non insulated conductor touching adjacent grounded equipment. Whatever the cause the fuse will isolate the fault instantaneously.
What is the function of the load in the circuit?
It's a power outputThis answer is incorrect.A 'load' is the name given to any device supplied by the circuit. For example, a motor could be a load, or a resistor, a lamp, etc.
Why are damaged electrical cords dangerous?
because it can can cause fire or electrical shock.
Would cause high resistance in a closed electrical circuit?
corroded/dirty connections
Can a switch in the off position cause an electrical short circuit?
No, once the switchis openedthere is no longer any voltage in the circuit to short out against.
What happens if there is a break in a serious circuit?
A break in an electrical circuit will cause the circuit's load to stop operating.
What happens to an electrical circuit when there is unwanted resistance in it?
a common cause of this type problem is corrosion at a connector.
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.
What could cause an electrical circuit to go dead and several hours later restart?
Electrical circuit do not go dead but theyreliably shut down. If there is a thermal protection circuit supervising the heat dissipated that would the circuit to shut down until it cools and start again and probably repeat the cycle.
Do cellphone towers cause cancer?
no cellphone towers do not give cancer!! : )
What could cause vehicle battery to become hot?
Overcharging is a possibility. It would also become warm from a long period of cranking, such as if you have trouble starting the engine. What exactly does hot mean? Rather warm or "oh, there's a problem here!"? Overcharging is the most likely possibility, and if it is boiling off its electrolyte (the water inside the battery) and needs frequent top-ups then overcharging is the most likely answer. It could also become hot if there is an internal short circuit.
How do you add refrigerant to a 2004 alero?
Do not add refrigerant. You must completely evacuate the system, then fill it _by_ _weight_ to prevent overcharging. Overcharging can cause leaks and/or compressor failure.
What would cause a battery on a forklift to explode?
Overcharging by the alternator or if it is connected in reverse polarity.
What type of connection will cause an overload current?
A connection between the "hot" and the neutral will cause an over current condition. In electrical terminology this is known as a short circuit.
