Why are two wires used to allow electric current to flow instead of a single one?
Because the current must always travel in a complete loop, going through the circuit and returning to the supply. A current can't travel along only one wire so no power would get to the circuit unless it has two wires.
Why are wires supplying electric current to the water heater thicker than those supplying current to the lights?
the water heater operates at high power compared to the lights and so the water heater requires a larger current. The wires supplying current to the water heater are thicker so that the wires have a low resistance. This reduces the risk of the wires overheating.
Why are two wires used to carry electric current instead of a single wire?
It takes two wires to complete a circuit. They are commonly called a positive and negative. Without a flow of electricity both in and out of an electric item, there will no be a circuit and the item will not work.
When electricity flows wires into our home?
Electricity does not flow wires into your home, wires direct the flow of current into your home.
What are all of the names of the appliance wires?
The names of common appliance wires include live, neutral, and ground wires. Live wires carry electrical current, neutral wires complete the circuit by returning current to the source, and ground wires provide a path for electricity to safely discharge in case of a fault.
In order to reverse the direction of current in a motor what does the current conduct?
To reverse the direction of current in a motor, the current conducting wires must be switched. By changing the configuration of the wires, the flow of current through the motor's coils can be reversed, thereby changing the direction of rotation of the motor.
What is a current-carrying coil of wires with many loops?
solenoid
Why must the positive wire go on the positive side of a battery?
it has something to do with the electrical current pssing through the wires to the battery
A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.
Does I stand for wires?
I stands for CURRENT. Many times a on/off power switch will have a I printed on it.
When testing for current in a cable with 11 color-coded wires the author used a meter to test twotwo wires at a time. How many different tests are required for every possible pairing of twot?
when testing for current in a cable with eleven colored-coded wires, the author used a meter to test five wires at a time. how many different tests are required for every possible pairing of five wires?
What kind of fields are produced by current-carrying wires?
Current-carrying wires produce magnetic fields.
Why do different wires have different thicknesses?
Different wires have different thicknesses to accommodate various levels of electrical current. Thicker wires have lower electrical resistance and can carry more current without overheating. Thinner wires are suitable for lower current applications and are more flexible and easier to work with.

Does current go faster with thick or thin wires?
Thin wires
How many number 10 wires can fit in a 1 EMT conduit?
16 current carry conductors
