What type of circuit occurs when two or more wires are touching each other?
When two or more wires are touching each other, it can create a short circuit. This occurs when the electrical current bypasses its intended path, often leading to an excessive flow of current that can cause overheating, damage to the wires, or even fires. Short circuits typically happen when insulation is damaged or when wires are improperly connected, resulting in a direct connection between the power source and the ground. Safety measures are crucial to prevent such occurrences.
What best describes the condition that occurs when bare wires in an electrical circuit accidentally touch causing more current to flow than the circuit can safely carry it will cause a fuse or circiut?
The condition described is a short circuit. A short circuit occurs when bare wires in an electrical circuit make unintended contact, creating a path of low resistance that allows excessive current to flow. This can cause a fuse to blow or a circuit breaker to trip in order to prevent damage or fire.
Why when it rains hydro wires do not short circuit?
Because the insulators that hold the cable up are designed to let the rain run off them. However there is some leakage during heavy rain which causes hissing and sometimes sparking.
When wires are connected to the terminals of a battery. what causes electric current in the circuit?
The electric current in a circuit is caused by the flow of electrically charged particles, typically electrons, through the wires. When the battery is connected, it creates a potential difference (voltage) that pushes the electrons to move from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, creating a continuous flow of current in the circuit.
What do you call a fuse with two black wires attached?
A fuse with two black wires attached is typically called a "black wire fuse." The black wires serve as the connections for the electrical circuit, with the fuse serving to protect the circuit from overloading or short circuits.
What causes an electrical fire in an automobile?
An electrical fire in an automobile is usually caused by a short circuit. For example, If there are exposed wires somewhere, touching metal, that could start a fire.
What causes a spontaneous dead short in a house?
A dead short is two inunsulated wires touching together, so you have to find those two wires.
What happens in a short circuit occurs in an electric circuit?
A short circuit is a condition whereby a point or section of the circuit offer a short path for current to return to the power supply. It occurs when two or more points or sections of the circuit touches each others (but only and only if that results in drop in resistance to such an extent that it causes excessive current to flow through.
What does the plastic over the metal wires in a circuit do?
to help prevent from not getting electrocuted
Why is insulation required in case of metal wire?
Because of the risk of electric shock to people touching it ! It also guards against two wires touching each other - causing a short circuit.
Why does a fuse pop when the ac gets turned on?
usually it's down to a short circuit, wires touching etc. or the fuse could be under rated.
Why does the starter solenoid fuse keeps blowing on your 2000 dodge ram 1500 laramie?
You have a short circuit/over current problem with the circuit. If the wires are not touching metal, then the starter may have failed.

When you will get to know that short circuit will happen?
1. That if a short circuit occurs we will get a sign before short circuit will happen or not ? 2. what we can do ? 3. how fuse can get a short circuit ? 4. which wires we have to use from preventing short circuit ?
How can it be determined if an element will conduct electricity or not?
If you want to physically do it, connect up a simple circuit with wires, a battery and a small bulb. Put the object in the circuit (touching the wires) - if the bulb light, its a conductor.
When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
What causes burning on neutral points in a circuit?
Loose wires. Corroded connectors.
