What is an electric current flowing in only one direction?

An electric current flowing in only one direction is called direct current (DC). This type of current has a constant flow of electrons in one direction from the negative to the positive terminal of a power source, such as a battery.


A socket outlet wired as a spur has a higher resistance than a socket outlet wired into the ring circuit.?

A socket outlet wired as a spur typically has higher resistance than one wired into a ring circuit because it is connected to the circuit through a single feed cable, which can lead to greater voltage drop and less current capacity. In contrast, a ring circuit provides multiple paths for current flow, allowing for lower resistance and better distribution of electrical load. This configuration in ring circuits also enhances safety by reducing the likelihood of overload. Therefore, the design and wiring method significantly impact the overall resistance and performance of the socket outlet.


When one light on a string of lights burns out and the entire string turn off this indicates to us that the lights are wired In a?

series circuit. In a series circuit, the current flows through each light bulb in sequence. If one bulb burns out, it breaks the circuit and all the bulbs after it will not receive power.


What is a hard wired electrical installation?

Hard wired is where something (Like most ceiling light fixtures) are wired directly to the circuit breaker panel. This is apposed to something like a lamp or a vacuum that uses a plug going in to a wall outlet.


Where can one purchase Cutler Hammer circuit breakers?

Cutler Hammer circuit breakers can be purchased at many retailers that specialize in electronics. Some of these retailers include Relectric, Automation Direct, Best Circuit Breakers, Home Depot and Amazon.

What is the difference between series and parralal circuit?

difference between series is one pathway through circuit,difference between parralal is more then one pathway through circuit.


What circuits of electricity flow in one pathway?

Series Circuit.


Is it true that a parallel circuit has more than one pathway unlike a series circuit?

yes


What would be different if only one light bulb were wired in this circuit instead of two?

I you wired a light bulb in to the same circuit you have the possibility of over loading the circuit but other than that it would just be brighter.


How you would wire an electrical circuit?

There are many types of electrical circuits and each one is wired differently. Without knowing the specific circuit that needs to be wired, this question can not be answered.


How many pathway does a series circuit have?

A series circuit has only one pathway for electric current to flow. This means that all parts of the circuit are connected in a single loop, so the current passes through each component in sequence.

When a circuit of light bulbs is wired in such a way that if one bulb burn out the rest stay lit it is called a circuit?

That would be a parallel circuit.

How must a circuit be created so that the rest of the bulbs stay lit if one goes out?

the circuit must be wired in parallel.

Why are most homes wired in parallel circuit rather than a series circuit?

Most homes (probably all homes) are wired in a parallel circuit (actually several parallel circuits and a few dedicated circuits) so that in the event of the failure of one device in the circuit, the rest will continue to function.
