When you start to unscrew a ballcock, you are essentially loosening the connection between the ballcock and the water supply line. This allows you to either remove the ballcock for maintenance or replacement, or to adjust the float level to control the water level in the tank.

What happens when you unscrew a light bulb in a circuit with two bulbs?
There are a few possible different results. One thing that happens in EVERY possible situation is that the bulb you unscrew is dark after you unscrew it. -- If the two bulbs are configured in either a series or a parallel arrangement and the power is off, then both bulbs are dark before you unscrew one, and nothing changes after. -- If the power is on and the two bulbs are configured in parallel, then the one you don't unscrew continues to glow after the other one is gone. -- If the power is on and the two bulbs are configured in series, then BOTH bulbs go out when you unscrew only one of them.
What happens when you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?
When you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit, the circuit will break and all the other light bulbs in the circuit will turn off. This is because in a series circuit, the current flows through each component in succession, so removing one component interrupts the flow of current to the rest of the circuit.
What happens if you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit?
If you unscrew a light bulb in a series circuit, it will cause an open circuit, which will break the flow of current in the circuit. As a result, all other bulbs in the series circuit will also turn off because there is no longer a complete path for the electricity to flow.
Why might it take less force to unscrew a screw from a piece of wood than it did to screw it in?
It may take less force to unscrew a screw because when you were screwing it in, you might have overtightened it or created more friction between the screw threads and the wood. This can make it easier to break the initial resistance and unscrew the screw compared to when you were driving it in.

Where is a ballcock used?

Double check chain. Sometimes, the ballcock seat is bad. You can replace it, but that is usually difficult and occasionally gets out of hand. They make a ballcock with seat replacement. The seat sits on top of the old seat using some kind of putty. Ususally, you remove old ballcock, clean and dry seat, apply putty bead to new seat, and press on, following any specific directions in the kit. In all cases, you need to check the minimum drain level. There is a cup on the back of the ballcock that lets you adjust how far down the water goes before the ballcock closes. This can save water. Set it to where the flush is correct for your application.
