What else can I help you with?
Thin wires have a what resistance to electron flow than do thicker wires?
Thin wires have a greater resistance rhan thick wires. Imagine a straw. The thinner the straw. the less liquid can get through. Wires work the same way.
Can you mistakenly hook up the wires on a starter solenoid backwards?
Yes Some have 6 or seven wires going to between one and four connection's.
1995 silverado starter wire sparks and clicks while starting?
I would unhook the BATTERY and then Check the starter wires, Clean and tighten the wires on the starter and make sure there not touching anything that would make them short out / spark. That should fix your problem.
What does a transformer between utility wires and your house do?
The transformer steps down the voltage from 600kilo volts which is what is at the power pole/lines to multiple strands of 120v or hot wires which is what your house runs off of.
What do you do if the 15 fuse for the Chevy Prizm 2002 back lights keeps breaking right after putting it in?
check for bare wires or short in the wiring to the rear lights
What units descride in conduction between wires?
Ohms (of resistance).
Is a short wire better at conducting electricity?
In general, shorter wires are better at conducting electricity because they have less resistance compared to longer wires. Resistance in wires causes energy loss in the form of heat. So shorter wires are more efficient at conducting electricity.
When phase and neutral will short means what will be the voltage in neutral?
If the phase and neutral wires are shorted together, the voltage in the neutral wire will be the same as the phase voltage. This is because the short circuit effectively bypasses any impedance or resistance in the circuit, causing the potential difference between the phase and neutral wires to be equal.
Why resistance is high during short circuiting?
Resistance of a short circuit is actually very low, ideally it is 0 Ohms. In practice the resistance of a short circuit will be equal to whatever the resistance of the short circuited wires is, which is typically very small. So if you substitute very small resistance value R into Ohm's Law(I = V/R), you will get a very high current flowing. Where V=voltage,I=current.
Why don't AC input wires to a transformer just short circuit?
The resistance of the winding in the primary of a transformer constitutes a load. As long as there is resistance then there is no short circuit. A short circuit is considered no resistance which develops an instantaneous high current. That is why fuses and breakers are inserted into the circuit to open the high current flow under a short circuit condition.
How do I check the coil resistance between the terminal and plug wires on a 2001 Harley deuce 1450 fxstdi?
To check the coil resistance on your 2001 Harley Deuce 1450 FXSTDI, first, ensure the ignition is off and disconnect the coil wires. Use a multimeter set to the ohms setting and measure the resistance between the positive and negative terminals of the coil. Additionally, check the resistance between the terminal and the plug wires; you should find values that fall within the manufacturer's specifications listed in the service manual. If the readings are outside the recommended range, consider replacing the coil or plug wires.
What are the approximations of open circuit and short circuit tests?
Firstly turn of the power before this test...Using a resistance or continuity tester you should get the following results:Short circuit: Very low resistance (nearly 0 ohms) or the bell will ring.Open circuit: Very high resistance (Somewhere in the range of Mega ohms) or the bell will not ring.The reason for this is because and open circuit has a gap in it (which has high resistance).The short circuit has wires that are crossed and so has a really low resistance.
Does a long wire have smaller resestnce than a short wire?
Not necessarily. Resistance is a function of the material, cross-sectional area, and temperature of the wire, as well as its length. Longer wires typically have higher resistance than shorter wires, assuming all other factors are the same.
Is electric resistance greater in a short fat wire of a long thin wire?
Electric resistance is greater in a long thin wire compared to a short fat wire, due to the higher resistance associated with longer wires and thinner cross-sectional areas. Resistance is determined by the material's properties and dimensions, with length and cross-sectional area being key factors affecting resistance.
Do thin wires have a greater or lesser resistance to electron flow than do thicker wires?
Thin wires have higher resistance to electron flow compared to thicker wires due to increased resistance caused by the smaller cross-sectional area of thin wires. Thicker wires have lower resistance because they offer less resistance to electron flow with their larger cross-sectional area.
If current equals voltage divided by resistance wouldn't current at 0 resistance or short circuit be infinity?
Theoretically yes. However, there is always resistance through joints,components and trace impurities in wires. A dead short is only a dead short for an instant at a fixed temperature. As heat rises so does resistance. Consequently current falls. also, resistance of zero would violate the laws of thermodynamics, because it would imply zero entropy
Why is the secondary of a transformer a short circuit?
If you are saying that the secondary (output) winding on a transformer seems to be a short circuit, it is very likely to be low resistance and may only be a few ohms if you measure the resistance with an ohmeter. The only way it would actually be a short circuit is if something has been inserted which has shorted the wires or it has overheated and burnt through. In which case there should be an acrid smell. Or if you can see the wires you would see they were burnt. A short in the circuit it is powering could cause the transformer to overheat, burn out and short.
