What else can I help you with?
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.
What size wire would you use to wire a motor that draws 16A from a circuit?
12
How do you correctly test if a circuit is not live?
Use a multimeter and test if there is a voltage drop or current over the wire circuit.
Where does the wire come from in an electrical circuit?
The wire comes from the installer or manufacturer of the circuit.
Does the type of wire make a difference to the circuit?
yes. If you use wire of certain resistance first the get the result and if u use other wire which is of more or less resistance then the voltage drop in the wire changes so the output also changes. Yes it does, but the difference may be inconsequential. The specific circuit in question and type of wire should be included for a specific answer.

What type of wire should be used for a 15 amp circuit?
For a 15 amp circuit, it is recommended to use 14-gauge wire.

12
What does a frame-ground circuit use as a return wire?
a separate high capacity wire
What gauge wire should be used with a 60amp circuit breaker?
Use AWG # 6 wire.
What size wire in a 40 amp 12 volt circuit?
Use 8 gauge wire.
What number wire do you use to wire a washing machine outlet?
A 2C #14 will be suffice but it should be the only device on the circuit. This is known as a dedicated circuit.
Why do people use resistors in an electric circuit?
we use resistors in an electric circuit to describe how a wire works and to control the flow of electricity
14 gauge wire can be on what size circuit breaker?
A 14 gauge wire is typically used on a 15 amp circuit breaker. It is not recommended to use a larger circuit breaker with a smaller wire size as this can create a fire hazard.
What gauge for wire can you use with a 15 amp circuit?
14 AWG.
What size wire should be used for the electrical circuit in the kitchen?
For a kitchen electrical circuit, it is recommended to use a 12-gauge wire to ensure proper safety and efficiency.
Can you mix an 8-3 wire with a 30 amp double breaker?
You never, ever mix wire sizes within a circuit. However you can wire a 30 amp circuit using AWG # 8/3 wire, although that is overkill and AWG #10 wire is what you would normally use on a 30 amp circuit.
