What else can I help you with?
Does a wire have to be insulated for electricity to flow?
No, overhead primary wires have no insulation on them and they carry the electricity to the consumers very well. Wires with no insulation on them just need more clearance space around them and between them to prevent the wires from short circuiting to each other or to ground.
Can you put two wires in one conduit and two wires in another conduit of the same circuit?
No, each conduit should only contain wires from the same circuit. Mixing circuits in a conduit can lead to interference and safety hazards. It is always best practice to keep conductors of the same circuit together to prevent potential issues.
How do you determine which wire is hot at a switch that has the white wires connected to each other and two black wires from different romex going to the switch?
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz power supply service.The white wires are the neutral wires. One of the black wires is the "feed" hot wire coming from the circuit's breaker on the incoming power panel.The other black wire is the "switched" hot wire going to the load. (The light or whatever appliance the switch is controlling.)If you don't know how to tell which black wire is which, the hot is usually the wire connected to the top screw on the switch. In Canada, there is a rule that all hot wires are to be connected to the top of switching devices.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-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
Why planets orbite around each other rather than crash due to gravity?
They keep running away from each other.
Why are most electrical wires surrounded by non-metallic materials?
Wires have to be insulated from each other to confine the current inside the wire. Most wires are insulated with a pvc sheath surrounding the copper wire.
The points where circuits interconnect with other circuits is known as what?
The point where wires interconnect with other wires is known as a "junction". In your panel the circuit breakers are connected to the buss, each circuit breaker feeds a different circuit. Different circuits are not connected together.
Are there any problems with running multiple CAT5E wires next to each other will you get feedback or interference?
No
How does one reduce stray capacitance?
You can reduce stray capacitance by avoiding having long wires running parallel in circuits. Keep wires as short as possible. Long wires running along each other can exhibit stray capacitance effects. Another way is to cut long leads of components such as capacitors and inductors to make them as short as possible. If best, use SM components, as they have no leads which can cause this stray capacitance effect.
Can a electric wire cross internet wire perpendicular to each other?
Yes, this is the preferred method when these two wires have to cross each other. Refrain from running the power cables and Cat 5 wires in parallel as mutual induction is likely to occur.
What does a hard drive ribbon cable look like?
is a cable with many conducting wires running parallel to each other on the same flat plane.
Why are electric wires insulated?
If you don't have insulation on the wire, then the loops in the coil will touch each other and short to each other. Instead of have x number of turns on the coil, you would basically have a solid conductor if the wire was not insulated.
Why are two current carrying wires able to attract each other?
When two current-carrying wires are placed close to each other, they generate magnetic fields around them. These magnetic fields interact with each other, causing the wires to attract each other due to the Lorentz force. The direction of the force depends on the direction of the current flow in the wires.
What is one way that parallels circuits are more useful than series circuits?
Loads receive current independently of each other.
Disvantages of parallel circuits?
It will be circuits in which there are different ways running close by each other. Much of the time this will be because of either various force sources streaming to a solitary yield, or one force source racing to different yields. By part the circuit along a few lines thusly, parallel circuits can accomplish things arrangement circuits can't, yet they likewise accompany a few detriments.
Is voltage drop across each device the same in household circuits?
No, even though these are parallel circuits, the voltage drop across each device is not the same in house hold circuits, or anywhere, for that matter. Different devices pull different currents. A toaster, for instance, pulls many times what a light bulb pulls. Since wires do not have truly zero resistance, those differing currents result in different voltage drops across the wires that lead to the devices. That small voltage drop in the wires results in a different voltage drop across each device, even though the device/wire is connected to the same voltage source.
What happens when two wires with parallel current are placed in close proximity to each other?
When two wires with parallel currents are placed close to each other, they can create a magnetic field that interacts with each other. This interaction can cause the wires to either attract or repel each other, depending on the direction of the currents. This phenomenon is known as the Ampre's force law.
What is the extra wire running to the injectors for and where does it plug into the computer at?
on tbi engines 2 injectors 2 wires to 1 injector same to other on seqential inj 8 injectors 2 wires each 1wire fused positive feed other goes to ecu is then switched electronically on and off by ecu
