What else can I help you with?
A wire wrapped around a magnet is an example of a open circuit?
No, a wire wrapped around a magnet is an example of a closed circuit, as the wire forms a continuous loop for the flow of electric current. An open circuit is a circuit that is interrupted, preventing the flow of current.
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.
What is the type of circuit called when it has an conductor a switch a electric cell a resistor?
The type of circuit you are describing is known as a simple circuit. It consists of a power source (electric cell), a switch, a conductor (usually wire), and a resistor to control the flow of electric current.
What are some reasons an electric circuit would not work?
The switch may be off or there is a break in the wire that stopped the electron flow in the circuit
What colour wire goes in com?
The wire that goes in the "COM" terminal is usually the black wire, which is the common wire. This wire is used as the reference point for the circuit.
What are two ways to alter the wire to increase the resistance in the electric circuit?
The resistance can be changed in following two ways: 1.By change the length of the wire. 2.By changing the area of cross section of the wire.
Which wire is the common wire in a typical electrical circuit?
The common wire in a typical electrical circuit is the neutral wire.
What is meant by the ground in an electric circuit?
The ground in an electric circuit is the brown copper wire.
How can you make the electric circuit?
Anything with a voltage power source, connecting wire and a load is an electric circuit. Hence if you have a flashlight you have an electric circuit.
What are two ways you could alter the wire to increase the resistance in the electric curcuit?
You could increase the length of the wire or decrease its thickness to increase resistance in the electric circuit. Both of these changes will hinder the flow of electrons through the wire, resulting in higher resistance.
Which wire is common among all the electrical connections in the circuit?
The common wire among all electrical connections in a circuit is the neutral wire.
Why are circuit symbols used when drawing electric circuit?
It is often necessary to wire crossing
How does a heater wire lose energy in an electric circuit?
It doesn't
What is the relationship between electric potential and a wire in an electrical circuit?
The electric potential in a wire in an electrical circuit is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge. As the wire carries current, the electric potential decreases along the wire due to the resistance of the wire. This relationship is described by Ohm's Law, which states that the electric potential difference across a wire is directly proportional to the current flowing through it and inversely proportional to the resistance of the wire.
Why do people use resistors in an electric circuit?
we use resistors in an electric circuit to describe how a wire works and to control the flow of electricity
What are the different ways to wire a 3-way switch in a lighting circuit?
There are two common ways to wire a 3-way switch in a lighting circuit: the "California" method and the "conventional" method. In the California method, the hot wire is connected to the common terminal of one switch, while the travelers are connected to the other switch. In the conventional method, the hot wire is connected to the common terminal of one switch, and the travelers are connected to the other switch in a different configuration.
How can you start and stop electric circuit?
You can start an electric circuit by closing the circuit, typically by turning a switch on. You can stop an electric circuit by opening the circuit, usually by turning a switch off or disconnecting a wire.
