It produces a magnetic field. Vice versa, when you run a magnet past a wire you generate an electric current. Electricity and magnetism are related. If you have electricity you can generate magnetism, if you have a magnet you can produce electricity.

What is the definition of hot wire in electricity?

A hot wire in electricity refers to a wire that carries an electric current and becomes hot due to the flow of electricity through it.


What is the relationship between electric potential and a wire in an electrical circuit?

The electric potential in a wire in an electrical circuit is the amount of electric potential energy per unit charge. As the wire carries current, the electric potential decreases along the wire due to the resistance of the wire. This relationship is described by Ohm's Law, which states that the electric potential difference across a wire is directly proportional to the current flowing through it and inversely proportional to the resistance of the wire.


What is different netural and ground or earth?

The neutral wire carries current back to the source in a circuit, while the ground or earth wire is used as a safety measure to protect against electric shock. The neutral wire is a current-carrying conductor under normal operation, whereas the ground wire carries no current except during fault conditions.


Is a solenoid a coil of wire that has a current?

YESA solenoid is a coil of wire, which turns into a magnet when a?current?flows through


Why does a bare electricity wire with current flowing though it give an electric shock and what happens if the body wet?

Electric current flows on the outside of the wire, not inside the wire. An insulated wire covers that surface where the current is flowing so that you are not touching the wire which actually carries the charge. The body has a pretty large eletrical resistance. If wet, the salts from sweating, form a more conductive surface.


A wire carrying a current is normally charged?

A wire carrying a current is not normally charged; it carries a flow of electric charge as a current. Charging refers to the process of adding or removing excess electrons from an object, which is not typically the case for a wire carrying a current.


What is the difference between a line wire and a load wire in electrical wiring?

A line wire carries electrical current into a device, while a load wire carries electrical current out of a device.


What are 3 ways to induce an electric current in a wire?

You can induce an electric current in a wire by moving a magnet near the wire, passing a current through a nearby wire, or changing the magnetic field around the wire.


What carries electricity through a wire?

Electricity is carried through a wire by the flow of electrons. When a voltage is applied across the wire, the electrons move in response to this, creating an electric current that can power devices or light bulbs.
