What else can I help you with?
What could be a source of resistance in a household electric circuit?
Heat
Why can you touch a neutral bar?
Neutral would refer to some object or circuit which has the same electric potential as the relative object. A "neutral bar," would mean a conductor which has no electric potential. If your body has no electric potential, then the potentials will equal, and no energy will be transferred.
How is a circuit formed?
The amount of electric potential energy per unit of charge that would be possessed by a charged object if placed within an electric field at a given location.See related links below.
What does short circuit mean?
A short circuit condition is caused by the grounding of the circuit anywhere from the distribution point to the load of a circuit. This grounding causes a high rush of current because of a low resistance of this type of circuit. This high rush causes the over protection device to trip and interrupt the current flow.
What is a circuit called if its operating and the current is flowing?
A closed circuit is one where the current is flowing continuously from the source to the load and back to the source, completing a loop. An open circuit, on the other hand, is one where the current cannot flow because the circuit is broken at some point.
Which creates a potential difference in an electric circuit?
A potential difference in an electric circuit is created by a voltage source, such as a battery or a power supply. This causes electrons to flow from higher potential to lower potential, creating an electric current in the circuit.
What are the some parts of an electric circuit?
Battery, switch, wires, lightbulb, etc. Those are SOME parts of a circuit....
What are normally open and close circuits?
The electric path which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery ends at its negative terminal, without any break, is called closed electric circuit or complete electric circuit. The electric path,which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery, is broken at some point, is called open electric circuit or incomplete electric circuit.
Why is my electric water heater not getting hot?
There could be several reasons why your electric water heater is not getting hot. Some common reasons include a faulty heating element, a tripped circuit breaker, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a buildup of sediment in the tank. It is recommended to contact a professional plumber or electrician to diagnose and fix the issue.
Why does electric bulb become dim when electric heater in parallel circuit is switched on?
The electric heater draws some of the electrical current in the circuit, which reduces the current available for the electric bulb. This leads to a decrease in the brightness of the bulb as it is receiving less power.
Why is my electric hot water heater not getting hot?
There could be several reasons why your electric hot water heater is not getting hot. Some common reasons include a faulty heating element, a tripped circuit breaker, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a buildup of sediment in the tank. It is recommended to contact a professional plumber or electrician to diagnose and fix the issue.
What are some names of circuit cars?
Some names of circuit cars are Mustang, Ford, General Electric, and others. Circuit cars are a pretty new concept around the world and is emerging to become very popular.
What is the part of a circuit that connects or disconnects the circuit?
Switches, fuses and circuit breakers are examples of some of the electrical parts which can connect or disconnect a circuit to a source of current. A diode does it for alternating current, but only for one half of each cycle. "Connecting" allows an electric current to flow through the circuit. "Disconnecting" stops an electric current from flowing through the circuit.
Why do All the electric sockets in a room not work?
Some fuses/circuit breakers blown? Some cables not connected?
Why is my electric furnace not turning on?
There could be several reasons why your electric furnace is not turning on. Some common issues include a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty thermostat, a clogged air filter, or a malfunctioning blower motor. It is recommended to check these components and consult a professional if needed for further diagnosis and repair.
What is the role of reactive power in an electric circuit?
Some electrical machines work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. For such events to occur, we need inductor due to which reactive power flows in the circuit. Since, this power is due to the energy storing elements in the circuit like inductor and capacitor. That is why, we need reactive power in a electric circuit.
What are some testable questions involving electric currents?
How does the length of a wire affect its resistance in an electric circuit? What is the relationship between the voltage and current in a resistor? How does the number of coils in an electromagnet affect its magnetic strength? What is the effect of changing the type of material in a circuit (e.g. copper vs. aluminum) on the flow of electric current?
