What happen when zinc and copper in salt water?

When zinc and copper are placed in salt water, an electrolytic cell is formed. The zinc will undergo oxidation at the anode, releasing electrons into the circuit. These electrons flow to the copper electrode (cathode), where reduction occurs. This flow of electrons generates an electric current.


Is pencil lead a compound or an element or an homogeneous mixture or a heterogeneous mixture?

Pencil lead is actually not lead (Pb) at all, but it is graphite. And graphite is simply carbons atoms. So, no, it is NOT a compound mixture.


What is happening when a switch is off?

When the light switch is turned on and a light bulb is connected in the circuit a current will flow through the circuit. Likewise when the switch is opened, the current will stop flowing in the circuit.


WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE ELECTRIC BULB S FILLED WITH OXYGEN GAS?

If an electric bulb is filled with oxygen gas, the filament inside the bulb would burn brighter and hotter than if it were filled with normal air. However, this can be dangerous as oxygen supports combustion and can increase the risk of a fire hazard if the filament overheats. It is not recommended to fill electric bulbs with pure oxygen gas.


What will happen when oxygen fill in electric bulb?

If oxygen is filled in an electric bulb, it can increase the risk of fire or explosion because oxygen supports combustion. Oxygen-rich environments can be highly flammable in the presence of a spark or heat source, which is dangerous when combined with the high temperatures generated by the bulb filament. It is recommended to only use inert gases like nitrogen or argon in electric bulbs to prevent fire hazards.

What will happen if someone only connect one of the wires to the bulb holder?

If someone only connect one of the wires to the bulb holder, the circuit will be open and the lamp will not light. This is the same principal that a switch in the circuit does. It opens and closes the circuit.


What would happen if there is no an electric switch in a curcuit?

Generally we use electric switches to put on or off the light,fan,computer,music system,etc.An electric switch is a device that is used to open or close an electric circuit.when we open an electric circuit the flow of electric current inthe circuit stops and when we close an electric circuit an electric current flows through it.


What does a GFCI protect you from?

A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protects you from electric shock by quickly shutting off power to the circuit when it detects a ground fault or abnormal current flow. This can happen when there is a short circuit, a malfunctioning appliance, or contact with water.


How do you cut an electric socket safely?

If you are not talking literally about cutting a socket and are referring about the sockets circuit, then all that needs to happen is, a switch needs to be cut into the circuit.


What will happen after you make an Electric Circuit?

If you connect the circuit properly the bulb should light up. That means attaching the left side of the battery to the right side of the bulb using a wire and attaching the right side of the battery to the left side of the bulb. If you do that the your bulb should turn on. If it doesn't then try changing the battery or the bulb.


What happen to the energy stored in the capacitor while the capacitor is discharging?

It flows out of the capacitor into the external circuit


What will happen if a paper clip made of metal is placed in an electric circuit?

Metal is an excellent conductor of electricity. So a metal paper clip placed in an electric circuit will conduct whatever current may be in that circuit. If the current is very large, the paperclip may get hot.


How does a circuit happen?

When the cables of the electrical appliances are worn out or it's not connected properly,a short circuit may occure.A short circuit has a very low resistance that almost all electric current flow through it.It'll affect the operation of the electrical appliances.Owing to the heating effect,the excess electric current would produce a large amount of heat,wihout a fuse or a circuit breaker,a fire may be occured when there's a short circuit.


What happen if the window is not going up or down?

One window, probably the switch or the electric window motor. All windows, probably the fuse or circuit breaker.


How do you know an overloading is likely to happen?

When many electric appliance are connected to the mains socket,and are turned on at the same time,the electric circuit may be overloaded and produce a large amount of heat,then an electrical fire is easily occure.


When you open the switch what happen to the bulb?

If the switch is in the off position, the circuit will be broken and the electric current can't flow to the bulb, so the bulb will not light up.
