Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, such as a wire. When an electrical appliance is plugged in, the electric current flows through the appliance's circuitry, providing the necessary energy for the appliance to function. The current powers various components within the appliance, such as motors, heating elements, or lights, allowing it to perform its intended function. In essence, electric current is the driving force that powers electrical appliances and enables them to work.
Mainly to prevent electrical shocks to the user of the appliance. Also helps keep the appliance from being damaged. <><><> The purpose of the grounding pin or prong is to connect the metal casing and any metal parts inside the appliance straight back to ground independently to the neutral wire. Then, if ever the metal casing or any metal parts inside the appliance become electrically "hot" or "live" because of an equipment failure, accidental damage - or some other cause of a malfunction - the direct path back to ground will in effect produce an immediate short circuit that will make the fuse or circuit breaker, that is protecting the circuit supplying current to the appliance, to operate to break the supply of current. By doing so, it helps to prevent electrical shocks to the user of the appliance. For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
Yes, if the guage/current capacity is right. Make sure all the components that will connect to the wire such as outlet and breaker are approved for aluminum. Check your local electrical code to make sure it's allowed.
A flow of electrons is needed to have a current. And there (usually) must be a complete circuit. And you need a voltage to make the current move around your circuit. All tied up in Ohms Law - which I'll leave to you.
Volts measure the electrical potential difference between two points in a circuit. They drive the flow of electric current through a conductor and determine the intensity of the electrical force that drives the current. In other words, volts provide the force necessary to make electrons move in a circuit.
An electrical current will cause an electromagnet to energise.
To prevent electric shock when working with electrical appliances, always unplug the appliance before cleaning or servicing it, avoid using appliances near water, and make sure to use insulated tools when working on them. Additionally, ensure that the appliance is properly grounded and never overload electrical outlets.
No. only flow of current develops electrical field. whereas magnetic field can make current to flow through a closed path. Absolutely YES. I wander how radios and TV works.AnswerYes, it is an electric field that causes current to flow in a circuit.

An electrical insulator is a material that resists electric current, and will not allow it to flow easily. Examples include glass and most ceramics. An electrical conductor is a material that offers very little resistance to electric current, allowing it to flow freely and easily. Most metals make excellent electrical conductors.
To prevent electric shock when working with electrical appliances, always unplug the appliance before cleaning or repairing it, avoid using appliances near water, and make sure to use insulated tools. Additionally, it is important to wear rubber-soled shoes and avoid touching metal parts of the appliance while it is plugged in.
Moving electrons make up electric current, which is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. This movement of electrons is what generates electricity and powers various electrical devices and systems.
To avoid electric shock when working with electrical appliances, always unplug the appliance before cleaning or repairing it, avoid using appliances near water, and make sure your hands are dry when handling them. Additionally, use insulated tools and wear rubber-soled shoes to reduce the risk of electric shock.
We can infer that current is needed to generate Electrical appliances and also to make the flow of electric circuits be completed.

This is a transformer built into electrical appliance to make electricity meter to stop reading or made to read in reverse order. This reduces the consumption reading and cheats the system. That is bad.
To change a plug on an electrical appliance, first unplug the appliance and cut off the old plug. Strip the insulation from the wires, then attach them to the new plug following the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure the wires are securely connected and the plug is properly assembled before plugging in the appliance.
An electrical potential difference (aka. a difference in applied voltage), and a conductor / circuit. Electrons would help too.
