Will a surge protector last longer if it's unplugged from the wall outlet during an electrical storm?
Possibly, but that's kind of missing the whole point of a surge protector.
The surge protector exists to protect the things that are plugged into it. If you're not using those devices anyway during the storm, sure, go ahead and unplug the surge protector... but you could also have just unplugged the devices themselves from the wall and not bought a surge protector in the first place.
Also, storms don't directly damage surge protectors. Stopping surges damages surge protectors. If there's no surge, it doesn't matter if the surge protector is plugged in or not.

Is it safe for me to cut a cable wire?
Not enough information. If you mean an electrical cable, no it is not safe unless you have isolated it and verified that it is no longer "live"!
What is the reason why the length of ground wire should be always longer than the active?
The ground wire should be longer than the active wire to ensure that in the event of an electrical fault, the ground wire will be the first to come into contact with the current, providing a path for the electricity to flow safely to the ground, reducing the risk of electrical shock or fire hazard. A longer ground wire also helps to minimize voltage drop and improve the effectiveness of the grounding system.
What unit or measurement is used to describe the amount of work a surge suppressor can do before it stops protecting the circuit?
The amount of work a surge suppressor can do before it stops protecting the circuit is typically described in joules. This measurement indicates the surge suppressor's energy absorption capacity. Once a surge suppressor reaches its joule rating, it may no longer provide effective protection against power surges.
When the north pole leaning toward the the sun are days longer or shorter?
When the North Pole is leaning toward the sun, the days are longer in the Northern Hemisphere due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This tilt results in the Northern Hemisphere receiving more direct sunlight, leading to longer days as the North Pole experiences continuous daylight during this time, such as during the summer months.
Why is it lighter and longer in the summer?
During the summer, the Earth's axis is tilted towards the sun in the Northern Hemisphere, leading to longer daylight hours and shorter nights. This tilt causes the sun to rise earlier and set later, resulting in more hours of daylight and making it feel lighter for longer periods during the day.
What type of energy is used when a toaster is unplugged?
When a toaster is unplugged, it no longer uses electrical energy from the wall outlet. However, the toaster may still have residual heat energy stored in its components for a short period of time after being unplugged.
Which light bulb last longer?
whichever until its unplugged lol!!
How do computer users protect their computers from too much electricity?
To protect a computer completely from electrical problems you would have to keep it unplugged. Unfortunately this makes it useless. Using surge protection on the power supply is a simple and relatively cheap protection from spikes in the power supply. A UPS or uninteruptible power supply can be set up to allow the computer to run for a period of time after a breakdown in the power supply. These are more expensive the longer they can supply power, and are often set up to supply power for just long enough to do a save and tidy shutdown of the computer.
Can an catalytic converter be unplugged?
yes but it is illegal only way to unplug is to gut a hole in it and scrape out the guts. this means the catalictic converter will no longer do the job it is supposed to.
What do you do with electrical equipment in the workplace no longer used?
Electrical equipment no longer used in the workplace should be disconnected from the power grid, at the least. Where reasonable, it may be removed and its metal components sold for scrap.
What is the green light for on a surge protector?
On most surge protectore the green light means it is working. Red light measn it is no longer working.
What happens after chemical energy from a battery turns into electrical energy?
The electrical energy provides power. When the chemical energy is depleted, the battery will not longer generate electrical energy.
Is it safe to move a computer in standby mode?
If it becomes unplugged, it will no longer be in standby mode. It will simply be off. You will loose any unsaved data. But to simply move it from one side of the desk to the other is fine.
What are the best ipad accessories?
Any accessory is worth the money if it does something you really want it to do. The case and screen protector are must haves as they will help your Ipad last longer and not get broken.
What happens to the electric current if the magnet no longer moves in the coil?
The electrical current stops flowing.
Why does a longer piece of wire have more electrical resistance than a shorter piece?
A longer wire has more electrical resistance because there is more wire material for the electrical current to pass through. This increased distance results in more collisions between the moving electrons and the wire atoms, which hinders the flow of current and creates more resistance.
Why does Singapore use fuel power stations to generate electrical energy?
It lasts longer. and the electricity is from the enviroment.
