Could be an inductor / coil, without metal core.


Why do fuses break the current in a circuit?

The reason for a fuse to break the current within a circuit is to protect the circuit itself and prevent fire. When an excess of electricity (or, too much electricity for the circuit to safely handle) attempts to pass through the fuse, a physical break within the connections of the fuse occurs. By breaking the connection, the excessive electricity is stopped, and prevented from causing possible overheating within the circuit, which could result in fire and permanent damage to the circuit.


The current in an electric motor comes from?

Power plants (fueled by elements) produce the electrical energy that circuits to an outlet that you can charge an electric motor with a plug that is wired to an electric motor. Or if it is a vehicle with an electric motor, you electrically charge car batteries that produce the current to the electric motor.


How could you use your open circuit to test is a material is a conductor or insulator?

Connect your material to the gap of the open circuit and see if the load(e.g bulb) works, if it does then the material is a conductor and if it doesn't then it's an insulator


Why does a simple circuit make things work?

The most basic electrical circuit consists of a power supply (source) and a 'load'. Here are some basic examples; AC & DC respectively: * Household AC + Lightbulb * Car Battery + Starter * Car Battery + Horn A typical electrical circuit could be a 'source', 'load', & switch: * Household AC (wall socket), + lamp + lightswitch * Car Battery + Starter + ignition switch (key turning) * Car Battery + Horn + Sensor Switch on Steering wheel (to blow the horn) Another typical circuit could be; Source, Load, Switch, Feedback device: * Household AC + Clothes Dryer + Start Button + "On" light * Car Alternator + Radio + Radio 'On' Switch + Radio 'On' LED

Are the three conductors in a single phase 240v circuit considered to be in parallel?

If the three conductors are in a single cable they physically are positioned parallel in relationship to each other. True parallel conductors are combined to split the current. They have to be of equal length and size so that they split the load current between the two or three or four conductors. Conductors are paralleled so that multiple smaller conductors, which are easier to work with, can carry equally the total load current. To answer the question no, the three conductors in a 120/240 circuit are not considered to be in parallel. All three of these conductors could have a different current being carried by them depending on how the load is distributed.


When a tree falls on power lines grid what fault is it?

It depends on what happens. It could cause adjacent conductors to clash (line-to-line short-circuit fault), or it could break a conductor which then makes contact with the ground (line-to-earth short-circuit fault), or it could be neither of these.


Why are switches and electric sockets are made by using conductors?

They are made using both conductors and insulators: conductors where you do want the electricity to be able to flow and insulators where you want to prevent the electricity from flowing.If they were made using just one or the other, they could not perform their intended functions.
