What are everyday uses of series circuits?
Your battery-powered flashlight is a good example of a DC series circuit. Battery power is DC. The battery is connected to a wire or piece of metal that's connected to a switch that is connected to an incandescent light bulb (resistor/thermistor) which is then connected to another piece of metal or wire which is connected to usually a spring in the end of the flashlight which creates a ground to the negative terminal of the battery.
A 1.0 m length of metal wire is connected to a battery and a current of flows through it. What is the diameter of the wire The resistivity of the metal is?
To calculate the diameter of the wire, we would need to know the resistivity of the metal, the current flowing through the wire, and the potential difference across it. Without this information, we cannot determine the diameter solely based on the length of the wire.
What happens if you leave a wire hooked to a battery to long?
Leaving a wire connected to a battery for too long can create a short circuit, which can lead to overheating, damage to the battery, and potentially a fire hazard. It can also cause the wire to overheat and possibly melt or catch fire. It's important to disconnect the wire from the battery when not in use to prevent these risks.
What ground wire would make a battery spark?
Any wire or other metal object which touches the positive (+) connection of the battery AND the negative (-) battery connection OR the metal bodywork will spark
What does the positive battery connect to?
The positive side of the battery is connected to the starter solenoid which is just a high current relay for the starter. It is also connected to the hot all the time bus which is a wire of the same starter solenoid that feeds the fusebox. Negative side of battery is connected to the metal chassis of the auto and/or the engine block. Negative side is also called ground. This technique saves on usage of wire. The autos metal frame is literally used as one big black wire to give all electrical loads in the auto a close point to get to ground.
What is the wire that is connected to the hood and fastened to the fender?
ground wire, all the metal on the car is where any electricial device can be connected to.
Does electricity flow more than 1 pathway?
An electric current is usually thought of as a flow of electrons. When two ends of a battery are connected to each other by means of a metal wire, electrons flow out of one end (electrode or pole) of the battery, through the wire, and into the opposite end of the battery.
What happens if you connect the ground wire to the terminal and the red wire to the - terminal on the car battery ie connect the battery backwards but did not start the car?
once a battery is connected even if the key is not in the ignition, there is always power at certain points in your car. Connecting a battery backwards will not start your car, but it can and will fry the wires to your starter.
How do you connect motor from battery?
There are two circuits on the battery and motor. One wire is take which have four ends. The wire is connected on the desired circuits.
Can a wire connected across a battery's terminal produce current?
Yes
What happens when you disconnect the wire from the battery?
Disconnecting a wire from a battery would break the circuit. If the battery was powering a bulb, the lamp would go out.
What would happen if you connected the ends of a battery in a series circuit with wire?
You would short out the battery. If it was a car battery capable of 300 amps and the wire was big enough, the battery could explode.
