Why when it rains hydro pole 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.
What two wires touching causes a short circuit?
the red wire and the blue wire A touching of two wires coming from any potential power source will cause a short circuit Short circuit relates to the quickest path back to the source with out any resistance to the current flow.
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.
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.
When phase and neutral will short means what will be the voltage in neutral?
If the phase and neutral wires are shorted together, the voltage in the neutral wire will be the same as the phase voltage. This is because the short circuit effectively bypasses any impedance or resistance in the circuit, causing the potential difference between the phase and neutral wires to be equal.

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 ?
What happens if the positive and negative wires touch during an electrical circuit connection?
If the positive and negative wires touch during an electrical circuit connection, it can cause a short circuit. This can lead to a sudden surge of electricity, potentially damaging the circuit components and creating a safety hazard. It is important to ensure that the positive and negative wires do not touch to prevent short circuits.
A screwdriver placed across two wires in a circuit creates a circuit?
Depending on where in the circuit the screw driver is placed it could be used as a switch or it could short the circuit out.
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 may happen when two live wires touch each others?
short circuit
What two wires touching causes a short circuit?
the red wire and the blue wire A touching of two wires coming from any potential power source will cause a short circuit Short circuit relates to the quickest path back to the source with out any resistance to the current flow.
If a fuse melts does it create an open circuit a closed circuit or a short circuit?
If a fuse melts, it creates an OPEN circuit, meaning that no current flows in the wires because it is no longer a complete circuit.
Why don't AC input wires to a transformer just short circuit?
The resistance of the winding in the primary of a transformer constitutes a load. As long as there is resistance then there is no short circuit. A short circuit is considered no resistance which develops an instantaneous high current. That is why fuses and breakers are inserted into the circuit to open the high current flow under a short circuit condition.
What does the plastic over the metal wires in a circuit do?
to help prevent from not getting electrocuted
How do you correct a short circuit?
A short circuit is repaired by first finding out where the short circuit occurred. On major faults usually the wires are removed and new wires are installed. On minor faults, the wire that shorted is separated from the offending wire or separated from the grounding medium. To put the conductor back into service the wire's insulation has to be brought back to the level of what the wire was when it was new. Once that is done the circuit can be re-energized.
