What are examples of a load in a circuit?

Any specific device that draws a current which is connected within the circuit is an example of a circuit load. That may be a resistance and a loudspeaker LED computer and induction motor or whatever which can withdraw the energy from the output.


Can you wire a Dayton electric motor to run backwards?

Yes, just reverse the start winding circuit.


When using a 3 wire control circuit to control a magnetic motor starter the part that will open the control circuit when an overload occurs will be?

The part that opens the circuit is the overload blocks that are situated below the magnetic starter and before the motor load. The latest addition to the electrical code book states that the "hot" wire goes through the overload contacts first before feeding the 3 wire control system. With the supply voltage in this position the whole circuit becomes de-energized when the motor load trips the circuit. The old standard practice on a 3 wire control system, the neutral was connected to the overload relay contacts. When the overload relay tripped it opened the neutral of the coil circuit and the starter dropped out


What happens when you open a switch in a series crcuit?

A closed series circuit is one where the current flows through all devices in the circuit. Opening a switch prevents current from flowing in the circuit and it becomes simply an "open circuit". Any device that operates with current (light, LED, motor, etc) will no longer function.


Do you need a battery to make a circuit?

no, but you do need a power source, such as a cell or a power pack if you do not want to use a battery.

Why is a motor needed in a circiut?

A motor is not needed in a circuit, a motor is an electrical load for the current to drive, but the circuit can perform with other types of load - such as a lamp, a transformer, a heating coil, or any electronic load. if you mean 'why does an electric motor need a circuit?' this is because the motor is an electrical device which has coils of wire to produce a magnetic field, without the circuit it cannot function.


If you have a DC passing through a circuit will the current decrease when you add a DC motor and if so by how much?

In the circuit where the DC motor is added, it was not specified whether the motor was added in series or in parallel to circuit elements. If it was added in series, it will increase circuit resistance and it will cause circuit current to go down. In parallel, the motor will reduce total circuit resistance, and circuit current will increase.
