Which is the hot lead to the ignition switch on a 1968 Chevy II Nova?
The large red wire is the battery or hot wire.
What do the support wires do on a light bulb?
As the name implies, support wires support the filament wire in the bulb, The filament, of course is the wire that glows white hot, giving out light
Which is an example of reverse polarity?
Reverse polarity means that the direction of an energy flow is opposite of normal. In house wiring, it would mean that the hot wire (in the US, the black wire) was crossed with theneutral wire (in the US, white wire). Appliances would still function, but the flow of current is reversed (and unsafe)
How do you install a inline noise filter?
Take your hot (red) wire and connect it to the 12v positive from the battery or any other ignition source. Ground the black wire. Solder the yellow (out) wire to the power in of whatever you are filtering (head unit, amp, lighter, etc)
What side does electrons flow from in a battery?
Outside the battery:The path for conventional current goes from the positive terminal (+, usually a red wire) to the negative terminal (−, usually a black wire).A wire's electrons flow from the negative (−) terminal to the positive (+) terminal.Since the current forms a continuous a loop in the same direction, the direction inside the battery is "backwards".Inside the battery:Conventional current flows from the negative (−) terminal to the positive (+) terminal.Positive ions flow from the negative (−) terminal to the positive (+) terminal.Negative ions flow from the positive(+) terminal to the negative (−) terminalConventional current assumes that all flowing charges are positive. It simplifies the situation because it hides the more complicated electrons, positive ions, and negative ions.
Why does a wire get hot when an electric current passes through it?
When an electric current passes through a wire, the wire gets hot because the flow of electrons in the wire encounters resistance, which causes the electrons to collide with atoms in the wire, generating heat as a byproduct of this interaction.
What was inside the first computers that would get very hot?
The heaters of the vacuum tubes glowed red hot to make the cathodes emit electrons.
Why does the filament become hot?
The filament becomes hot when electricity passes through it, due to resistance in the wire. This resistance causes the filament to heat up and emit light in an incandescent bulb.
Is it normal for lamp wire to become hot during use?
Yes, it is normal for lamp wire to become slightly warm during use due to the flow of electricity through the wire. However, if the wire becomes excessively hot or starts to emit a burning smell, it may indicate a problem and should be checked by a professional electrician.
Why does an incandescent light emit light?
An incandescent light emits light due to the heating of its filament wire, which causes the wire to become so hot that it glows and gives off visible light. This process is known as incandescence.
How does electricity flow through a light bulb?
The atoms inside the wire of the lightbulb all have electrons which are pushed from atom to atom when the light is turned on, this is the current. When the electrons are pushed around the circuit they generate lots of heat because the wire in the bulb is so thin, this makes the wire glow white hot which creates the light.
Exactly what do vibrating electrons emit?
Classical they will emit electromagnetic waves (light and radio waves). Quantum effects might limit this since if the electrons are in the ground state (or all lower states are occupied) they can not emit any photons (quanta of electromagnetic waves).
Why does a wire become warmer when a charge is flowing through it?
Because the electrons in it are moving about. This is similar to what happens when you run about, you become 'hot'.
How is eletrical energy converted in light energy?
In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels. When they fall back, they emit light.In an incandescent light bulb, the wire is heated until it glows.In a fluorescent light bulb, atoms are excited, which means the electrons are raised to higher enerty levels.

What are lightning and fire examples of?
Plasma is a form of matter that is so hot that the atomic structure breaks down, and the atom loses its electrons (the nucleus remains intact). Plasmas glow, which can be seen in both lightning and fire. The ionized electrons emit light.
Do electrons in stationary states emit the most radiation?
No, electrons in stationary states do not emit radiation because they are in stable energy levels. Radiation is emitted when electrons transition between energy levels, releasing photons of specific energies.
What is the definition of hot wire?
Very literally, hot wire is a wire that is hot. Pertaining to vehicles, to hot wire a vehicle is to start the engine or motor of the vehicles without the use of the ignition.
