What else can I help you with?
Why is it that if you take a piece of Copper wire and plug it into a power supply it creates a short circuit but if the same wire is coiled then it acts as an inductor and doesnt make a short circuit?
=== === This answer assumes the wire is properly insulated along its length so that it does not have any shorted turns if it is wrapped around a core made of a good insulator such as wood or plastic. Whether or not it is wound into a coil the resistance of a piece of copper wire depends on how long and thin it is. The thinner and longer the wire, the higher the resistance it will have and the less current it will draw from the power source.A very short piece of thick wire will have such a low resistance it will take so much current that it will behave just like a short circuit. (Whether it is insulated or coiled even a little bit will make no difference.)If a sufficiently long length of insulated wire is made into a coil it will act as an inductor. If it is wound around a cardboard or wooden core containing a piece of iron, the iron would make the coil have a much higher inductance than for just air.

What is shot circuit?

Will voltage or current be higher in a circuit during short circuit?
Since a short circuit is, essentially, a zero impedance connection between nodes, the current in a short circuit is limited only by the ability of the source. In the case of an ideal voltage source connected to an ideal short circuit, you would have infinite amperes.
Where does the wire come from in an electrical circuit?
The wire comes from the installer or manufacturer of the circuit.
Why is the three-layer insulated coil less prone to short-circuit failure?
Coiled around copper core wire, no flow blocking element. Why is this insulated wire coil not prone to short-circuit failure?
Why wiring short circuit?
A "hot" positive wire has made contact with ground = short circuit.
Why would a computer wire melt?
Short in the circuit or the circuit was overloaded.
What happens if a wire breaks?
The circuit stops working because of the short circuit
How does short circuit occur?
A short circuit occurs when a low-resistance path is created between two points in a circuit, causing excessive current flow. This can happen due to a wire touching another wire, a conductor coming into contact with metal objects, or a component failure. When a short circuit occurs, it can potentially lead to overheating, damage to components, and even fire.

How do you correct a short circuit?
A short circuit is repaired by first finding out where the short circuit occurred. On major faults usually the wires are removed and new wires are installed. On minor faults, the wire that shorted is separated from the offending wire or separated from the grounding medium. To put the conductor back into service the wire's insulation has to be brought back to the level of what the wire was when it was new. Once that is done the circuit can be re-energized.
What wire in a circuit should contain the fuse?
The wire that connects the power source to the rest of the circuit should contain the fuse. This is typically the wire that leads directly from the positive terminal of the battery or power source. Placing the fuse in this wire helps protect the circuit in case of a short circuit or overload.
Do you connect a fuse to the live wire or the neutral wire?
A fuse is typically connected to the live wire in a circuit. This is done to protect the circuit from an overload or short circuit, as the fuse will blow or trip and cut off the current flow if there is an issue.
How a fuse can provide time delayed protection for normal overload and high speed protection for short circuit?
There are two sections of the fuse; a straight wire section that provides quick acting response to short circuit conditions, and a coiled spring section with a soldered lump with thermal mass that provides time delay for normal overload. When inspecting a blown fuse, you can tell if it was a short or an overload by looking at where the blowout occurred.

What blows ignition fuse?
A blowing fuse is an indication that there is a short circuit condition in that circuit. A short circuit condition is the result of a "hot" wire or component in a circuit coming into contact with another wire or component which is "grounded." Grounded means that a metallic component is somewhere connected to the ground post [terminal] on the battery.
