power source, wire, switch, end fixture. Simplest circuit would be a power source and a heating element. No wire or switch needed.

Why is it not advisable to handle electrical circuit with wet hand?

Water is a good conductor of electricity. Should your hands be wet while working with a live electric circuit, the odds are increased that you will accidentally complete a connection and give yourself an electric shock.


If a copper wire in a working electric circuit is replaced by a piece of rubber tubing will there be a current in the circuit?

No, a rubber tubing is an insulator and will not allow the flow of electric current like a conductor such as copper wire would. Therefore, if the copper wire is replaced by rubber tubing, the circuit will be broken and no current will flow.


How do you de energize an electrical circit?

To de-energize an electrical circuit, you should turn off the power source by switching off the circuit breaker or removing the fuse associated with that circuit. Additionally, you can unplug the device or equipment from the power outlet to ensure that the circuit is not energized. Always use proper safety measures and equipment when working with electrical circuits to prevent accidents and injuries.


What could be wrong if you turn on a circuit breaker after working on the circuit and the breaker does not trip but there is no power to the circuit?

reset your breaker...... make sure it is pushed completely to the off position. then turn it back to on. ...... Or, it may be tripping with your wiring job.Maybe either the hot or the neutral is still disconnected from the circuit? Or, maybe, within a socket outlet you want to use that is on that circuit, either the hot or the neutral wire is not properly connected into its terminal in the socket outlet?As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energizedIF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


Why is an energy source needed in order to have a working electric circuit?

Ultimately this is a special case of the Second Law of Thermodynamics.In the case of an electric circuit, consider Ohm's Law. Without a voltage, you will have no current. Also, if a current flows, keeping up the voltage requires power.

Why is it important for the switch of the circuit to be open at the start of an activity?

If you mean by activity, working on an electrical circuit, then it is for safety reasons that a switch is opened. Most companies now use a proper lock out procedure so that everyone is aware that the circuit has been locked out. If more than one person is working on the circuit each person is required to have their own personal lock on the open switch.

If a circuit had a gap in it would it work?

Nope... if the circuit has a gap in it - the path of electrons is interrupted, and that would stop the circuit from working.


Why would the rear window on a Le Baron conv just stop working you were trying to fix the other one and the one that was working just quit working while working on the other one?

check the fuses for the windows you may have shorted it out it is part of a circuit and since circuit is open when disocnnected the other window on the circuit will not work once you close circuit the other side will work
