Can you install a GFCI on a 2 wire circuit?
Yes, you install a GFCI on a 2 wire circuit.
Can you install 12G wire to receptacles and 14G wire from receptacles up to fixtures in 20A circuit?
No. In a 20 amp circuit all wire has to be 12 AWG or larger.
Is it safe to go from 12-3 wire to a 14-2 wire in the middle of a switch leg?
No. The wire size is dependent on the circuit protection. If the circuit uses a 20 amp breaker you need to run 12 AWG wire on all devices connected to that circuit.
What does a wire do in a circuit?
mini-hydraulic
Electrons are made to flow in a wire when?

A complete circuit is made of three things?
If you are talking about the light circuit then : The Battery, The bulb and the wire.
Is a cu wire a ground wire?
The type of wire does not generally determine whether something is a ground wire or not. A wire is a ground wire if it is connected to the ground of a circuit, or the common ground (the reference point of a circuit that is at 0 volts). However, in relation to the grounding rod used to connect the main circuit panel for a house, the rods are almost always made of steel that are copper plated.
What is fuse what is it made up of?
A fuse in its simplest form - is simply a short piece of wire that is weaker than the circuit it is protecting. When the current flowing through the circuit exceeds the fuse rating, the fuse wire melts - breaking the circuit.
How do you test a closed circuit?
we can make an open circuit by disconnecting the wire or break the circuit and a closed circuit is made by connecting all wires with the contents of the circuits.
Can one use 1 circuit of a 3 wire plus ground 2 circuit cable as a GFI circuit with the other as a lighting circuit?
A GFCI can not be used on a three wire branch circuit. It has to be on a single two wire circuit.
Where does the wire come from in an electrical circuit?
The wire comes from the installer or manufacturer of the circuit.
How do you change wire fuse for circuit breaker?
A circuit breaker does not have a wire fuse in it.
What job does a wire do in a circuit?
The wire in a circuit helps to pass power to the electrical appliances.
Can you install a GFCI on a 2 wire circuit?
Yes, you install a GFCI on a 2 wire circuit.
Circuit in a sentence?
A circuit needs at least three electrical contacs.
