A washer uses electricity to power the motor that turns the agitator (or drum) and pumps out the water.

Does electricity flow back to power plant?

Electricity does flow back to the power plant. This electricity is what forms the circuit needed to actually deliver the electricity to you when you need it.


Why is electricity sometimes described as a flow of electrons?

Flowing electrons makes electricity (they flow from negative to positive. ). You need a circuit or a path for the electrons to move through, a power source like a battery or a generator, and something to use the electricity, like a light bulb...


Why des electricity need to follow a path?

Electricity is the flow of electrons.Hence it requires a path containing free electrons in order to flow.


Why do circuits need to maintain a closed loop for proper functioning?

Circuits need to maintain a closed loop for proper functioning because electricity needs a complete path to flow through in order to power devices. If the circuit is broken or incomplete, the electricity cannot flow and the devices will not work.


What does the on and off switch do on an electrical circuit?

The on and off switch controls the flow of electricity in the circuit. When the switch is on, it completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow through. When the switch is off, it breaks the circuit and stops the flow of electricity.


Does electricity flow through wires?

Electric current flows through wires, but to transmit electric power you need two wires with a voltage between them, connected to a power source.


How much water pressure does a 1500 psi pressure washer need?

The inlet pressure can be as low as 45 PSI as long as there is a flow of about 3 gpm. The pump will easily pump it to 1500 psi through the appropriate nozzle


What do you need to complete before the current will flow?

A circuit must have three basic components to make electricity flow. 1. Source of power or electricity. 2. Wires, switches and conductors through which the current can flow. 3. And finally a load to complete the circuit.


Why is a plug made of conductors and insulators?

A plug is made of conductors like metal prongs to carry electricity from the outlet to the device, and insulators like plastic casing to prevent electric shocks by blocking the flow of electricity through the outer surface. This design ensures a safe and efficient transfer of electricity.


Why does an electric circuit that operates correctly need to be closed circuit?

An electric circuit needs to be a closed circuit in order for the current to continuously flow from the power source through the electrical components and back to the source. An open circuit, where there is a break in the circuit, would prevent the flow of electricity and disrupt the operation of the circuit.


What does water need to do with static electricity?

Water can conduct electricity, so it can help static electricity to dissipate or discharge. If there is a buildup of static electricity on a surface, water can provide a path for the excess charge to flow away, reducing the effects of static electricity.


What is a conductor of static electricity?

static electricity doesn't really need a conductor, a high enough voltage will cause electrons to jump a distance, without a conductor, as long as there is no insulator involved. All you need is a sufficient amount of free electrons on one side, say your finger tip, and a good ground on the other side, try a car door handle.
