If you cut a wire what happend to resistance?

If you are talking about the total resistance in a circuit , it depends on the components in the circuit and the location of the cut.If you are talking about a single wire, the resistance becomes infinite (or close to it) when the wire is cut.


Why do the electrical gadgets stop working when switch is turned off?

When the switch is turned off, it interrupts the flow of electricity to the electrical gadgets, causing them to stop working. This is because the electrical current that powers the gadgets is cut off, preventing them from receiving the necessary energy to function.


How does a change over switch works?

When the supply from GEB is cut away, at that time the consumer is required to change over from the main supply to the private generator, so that he cut the supply from mains and switches to Generator with a change over switch.


How do you turn off electric at a consumer unit?

To turn off the electricity at a consumer unit, locate the main switch or circuit breaker serving the entire property. Flip the switch to the off position to cut off power to the entire system. Make sure to use caution and consider calling a professional if needed.


What stops electricity from passing through?

A sheet of aluminum foil will provide shielding against a stream of electrons. Note that a stream of electrons will have trouble getting through air itself. That's because electrons have extremely small mass (compared to atoms), and because the electrons in a stream would have to "break through" all the electrons defining the volume of all the atoms in the air through which they are moving.Note that a stream of electrons in this case is notelectric current flow as we normally know it. We're talking about as stream of electrons as might emerge from an "electron gun" of some kind. There are real electron guns in cathode ray tubes (CRTs), and this is the source of the beam. But that beam wouldn't fair well trying to move through air, so the tube is highly evacuated. Electrons can be stopped quite readily, though if they are highly accelerated and strike metal targets, X-rays could easily result.

Which insulator does a switch use to cut ofo the current in a circuit?

A switch typically uses an insulating material such as plastic or ceramic to cut off the current in a circuit. These materials have high resistance, preventing the flow of electricity when the switch is in the "off" position. The insulating properties ensure that there is no unintended current flow, providing safety and control in electrical systems.


What is an RCD cut the current to a circuit?

RCD cut the current to the circuit while preventing the electric shock


A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?

A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.


How do you cut an electric socket safely?

If you are not talking literally about cutting a socket and are referring about the sockets circuit, then all that needs to happen is, a switch needs to be cut into the circuit.


Circuit breakers are used for what?

Circuit breakers prevent excessive current from flowing in the circuit by "tripping" when the current exceeds the circuit breaker rating. This causes the current to be cut off, and is used to protect the wiring as well as the appliances.


What can stop the flow of electric current in a series circuit?

In a series circuit, the flow of electric current can be stopped by breaking the circuit, which can occur if a switch is opened, a wire is cut, or a component fails, such as a blown fuse or burned-out light bulb. Since current must pass through each component in a series circuit, any interruption halts the entire flow. Additionally, adding a resistor with high resistance can also limit or stop the current flow.


Can a single pole switch replace a starter in a tube light?

No. Starter comes in the circuit initially and then cuts off once the tube is on. If you use the switch, it wont be cut off automatically. If you want to use the switch manually then it technically possible to do so


What is the difference between an open and closed circuit in hydraulic circuit?

In an open circuit, the circuit doesn't power the load because it isn't closed fully. A closed circuit closes properly and can power the load. If you didn't know, the load is the thing your trying to power.

Can a short circuit cause low voltage?

Most likely a short circuit will cause no voltage. Due to the high current on a short circuit fault the over current protection of the circuit will trip. This will cut the voltage supply off completely.


How is an ammeter connected in a circuit?

Series connect it within the line of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.More detailSince we measure the flow of current IN the circuit, the ammeter must be connected in series with the part of the circuit for which you are interested in measuring the current flow.One of the ammeter's terminals must be connected to a point of the incoming current flow and its second terminal must be connected to the point of on-going current flow. To do this, cut the relevant circuit wire and connect one terminal of the ammeter to each end of the cut.


How do circuit breakers keep the wires in an electrical circuit from over heating?

Because the amount of heating depends on how much current is in the wires. So you set the CB to cut the current if it exceeds the rated current for that wire.
