When checking the resistance of a heating element the meter shows 10.5 ohm Also from each end of the element to the ground shows 5 ohm This means that the element is?

Short circuit to ground. The element is not safe to use and when properly wired, will cause the fuse to blow. Without the earth wire it will be dangerous and the chassis will be at mains potential!
The element is intact, but the insulation has broken down to earth.

What was the First ground to install under-soil heating?
Carrow Road
What controls the rate of movement of ground water?
Gravity (slope) and resistance.
Why does lightning take the form of lines?
Lighting is electricity, and the charge follows the path of least resistance to "ground" and that would be a line sometimes zig-zaging along the before mentioned path of least resistance to the ground or other cloud with an oposing charge. that is why hills, and other raised structures are struck more frequently than flat ground, this provides the charge a quicker route to ground.
If there are no air resistance what would happen to the hailstones?
If there are no air resistance the hailstones would hit the earth at velocities near 350 m/s and melt before they hit the ground.
How can I become more green with my heating & cooling?
You can install a geothermal heating system which consists of a long pipe that pumps heat out of the ground during the winter or into the ground during the summer, Depending on your geography, you can also install vapor barriers with your insulation. Controlling moisture is critical for efficient climate control.
What would affect the brightness of a lamp?
Voltage applied (voltage at source, resistance of wire and conections etc), ground resistance, designed brightness of element in comparison to the applied voltage
How do you make a science project that is short circuit?
Technically speaking, any electric type heater, or even a toaster is a direct short to ground. The "heating element" is the result of a short to ground.
What are some ways a material's electrical resistance is used to accomplish a certain job?
A good example of electrical resistance is the heating element on a stove top it is a very poor conductor (high electrical resistance) because it is a poor conductor the electrical energy is converted to heat. Glass is one of the best insulators because its electrical resistance is so high it is a non conductor this lets us use it on high power lines to keep the electricity from coming in contact with the ground.
How is element mercury purified or extracted?
Mercury is extracted from cinnabar by heating and collecting the vapors. In factories, the rock is ground up into a fine powder which is then heated.
Does ground have a high resistance?
It depends on the definition of resistance and the definition of ground. If you are referring to resistance as in resistance to electric current, the answer will be different than if you are referencing resistance as in friction. Also, the ground is not consistent. There are many types of "ground." More specification is necessary here in order to receive a sufficient answer.
How do you know if your ground wire is connected?
Measure the ground resistance from the user end point, where earth or ground cable is connected. It will show a very high resistance or open if ground is broken.
On a 77 GMC 350 HEI system with a new pickup coil why can you get no reading for resistance between either wire and ground What could cause this you can get resistance readings everywhere else?
The resistance to ground should be infinite, becouse its an isolated circuit. Any resistance to ground less than infinity would mean there is a short to ground.
What should be earhing resistance in house?
Earth ground resistance. There is not one standard ground resistance threshold that is recognized by all agencies. However, the NFPA and IEEE have recommended a ground resistance value of 5.0 ohms or less. The NEC has stated to "Make sure that system impedance to ground is less than 25 ohms specified in NEC 250.56. In facilities with sensitive equipment it should be 5.0 ohms or less." The Telecommunications industry has often used 5.0 ohms or less as their value for grounding and bonding. The goal in ground resistance is to achieve the lowest ground resistance value possible that makes sense economically and physically.
What are the elements of a marine air-ground task force?
Command Element (CE), Ground Combat Element (GCE), Aviation Combat Element (ACE), Combat Service Support Element (CSSE)
What is electric resistance in Pokemon?
Rock and ground types
What is the weakness of ground element?
The weakness of the ground element is water and grass. Those I know are correct. But I'm not absolutley sure, but ground also may be its own weakness.
Where can the element arsenic be found?
in ground
