Why is it essential to earth electrical appliances having metallic body?
if the appliance shorts out (if one or more of the wires inside it come into contact with the outer casing) the electricity will take the shortest route to be neutralised. If there is no earth wire and you touch the shorted out appliance then the shortest route to neutralise the electric charge is through you, and you will be electrocuted. If an earth wire is present then the shortest route to neutralise the current will be through this wire, so you would not be electrocuted if you touched the shorted out appliance.
A water route through north America to Asia?
England, France, and The Netherlands competed to discover it. The route was called the North-West Passage
Temporary earth bonding?
Temporary earth bonding is when you attach certain metal objects in a dwelling after removing the previous connector (eg. steel bath) with an earthing continuity cable (coloured green and yellow). This then allows work to take place on the designated faulty area. The earth in electrical terms, carries no current, and it is this that electricity will make a dash for when it is allowed to escape from its secure home in an electric cable or flex. This is because one side of the electrical supply, the neutral, is intentionally connected to earth. If someone touches a live conductor then a current will flow through the person, their shoes, the floor, the wall, via earth and back to the supply transformer via one or more earth connections of the transformer neutral. The person has completed the electrical circuit. Should any fault develop in an electrical system the electricity will always head for earth, taking the easiest route there. The electrical appliances and supplies in the home are of a much higher potential and if any of these become available to touch and are electrically charged at a different voltage to earth the possibility of an electric shock exists, with the current passing through the connection between the charged parts and earth. For instance, a person comes into contact with a conductive part that is at a potential difference to earthed metalwork and that metalwork; then a very serious shock can result. In order to eliminate this possibility, all electrical earths of circuits supplying equipment in the bathroom and all extraneous conductive parts are bonded together. In this way, even if a potential does develop, such as during an earth fault on one of the electrical circuits. Should any electrical leakage occur the leaking current will try and find a passage to earth. It is therefore important that precautions are taken to ensure.

What path is created for a current that allows only one route for the current?
A controlled and linear path of current is an electrical circuit. A complete circuit has a beginning and terminus for the flow of charge.
A path created for a current that allows only one route for the current is called?
Series circuit.
What is the path that an electrical current travels?
electric current
A path that allows only one route for a current is called a?
series circuit
A path that allows only one route for an electric current is called a?
series circuit
Definition of a circuits?
Circuits are electrical devices that provides a path for electrical current to flow. In a tour it is a journey or route all the way around a particular place or area. In law it is a judicial of a state or the United States (so-called because originally judges traveled and held court in different locations).
What is the definition of a circuit?
It is the movement once around a course. It is also a journey or route all the way around a particular place or area. It is an electrical device that provides a path for electrical current to flow. In law it is a judicial division of a state or the United States (so-called because originally judges traveled and held court in different locations).
How do you get hit by lightning?
Electricity will always find its way to Earth through the easiest route. As such, you are most likely to be struck by lightning if you provide the easiest route for an electrical current to earth itself. So, if you are holding a large, highly conductive metal pole in the middle of a field during a thunderstorm, where your large conductive metal pole is the closest path to earth for an electrical charge in the air, then the current will pass down the pole, through you, to earth. Voila.
What hapend when earth is not connected in electrical circuits?
The main purpose of earthing electrical circuits is to provide a low-impedance route back to the substation transformer which, in the event of an earth-fault will allow sufficient fault current to flow in order to operate a circuit's overcurrent protection.
Which current would not be part of the so-called Wal-Mart Trade route from Asia?
Unless the currents are given it is not possible to know which is not part of the Wal-Mart current. Including this information will allow someone to know the answer.
What is the darkwater doing in Pokemon emerald route 133?
it is a current
Was Route 66 once called Route 666?
Yes. Route 66 was once called Route 666. It was originally the sixth branch of the long gone Route 66 that runs through four states in the west.
