What is the purpose of using 3 different colour wires in an electric iron?

The live (blue) wire delivers the power from the mains into the iron's circuit. The neutral (brown) is the return path back to the mains (electricity needs a closed circuit to flow). The earth (green/yellow stripe) wire is a safety device in case anything goes wrong with the wiring in the iron to cause a short circuit. It delivers the power along the earth wire into the ground instead of it going through the user.The Iron would work without the earth wire being connected but the user would be at risk of electric shock if the iron developed a fault or the wires came loose.


What is the effeciency of a transformer if the power input is numerically equal to the power output?

100%. It not practically possible to achieve 100% though. There are iron and copper losses even if it is not loaded.

Can an iron nail replace a wire in a circuit?

An iron nail can replace a short length of wire in a circuit if the points of contact of the nail to the rest of the circuit have no rust or corrosion and good connection can be made. Using solder to join the nail to the circuit can help make a good connection. However, if this is for a scientifically controlled experiment fine as long as its very low voltage. If you are considering high voltage . DO NOT ATTEMPT IT. Its extremely dangerous

Not ideally. A 9 wood would replace a 5 iron, but could be used to replace a 6 iron if you so wanted.


Can magnetic lines of force travel through vacuum?

There ARE no magnetic lines of force. The magnet and iron filings demonstration causes the illusion of lines, but if you take a picture of the "lines" and replace the paper and iron filings, the "lines" will appear in a different place. But if there WERE lines of force they probably could exist in vacuum.

Would you expect zinc to displace iron in displacement reaction?

Yes. Zinc will likely replace iron because it is more reactive.

Which of these metals will replace the Iron in an Iron Solution a copper b gold c Lead d Zinc?

Zinc is the metal that will replace iron in an iron solution through a displacement reaction because it is more reactive. Copper, gold, and lead are less reactive than iron and would not displace it in a solution.


Which metals among ZnCu can replace iron from its compounds?

Zinc displace iron. Iron displace copper.
