What else can I help you with?
If you press wire to both ends of a battery will it explode or just get very hot?
It will get very hot if nothing but the battery is connected with wire but it won't explode...., in science class we did this, it's called electricity. All you're doing is making an electric circuit. Try connecting wire to a lightbulb, and touch the battery on both ends with the wire also. It will light the lightbulb up. Maybe go back to elementary school. lol
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 causes a wire to get hot?
A wire gets hot when an electric current flows through it, causing resistance in the wire which generates heat.
Why is an incandescent bulb hot to touch when it is switched on for a while?
Incandescent bulbs produce light using a property known as black body (or cavity) radiation, which simply put boils down to "hot things glow." The incandescent bulb heats the filament (typically a coil of wire) to thousands of degrees so that it glows. Since the bulb itself is generally at most a few inches from the filament, it gets pretty hot as well.
Why does a wire get hot when an electric current passes through it?
When an electric current passes through a wire, the wire gets hot because the flow of electrons in the wire encounters resistance, which causes the electrons to collide with atoms in the wire, generating heat as a byproduct of this interaction.
Before you touch a wire in an appliance how should you make sure that it is NOT hot?
You can use a wire tester to determine if a wire is live. You can also touch the positive wire on the ground wire, if the wire produces a spark it is live.
What happens if neutral and hot touch each other?
If a "hot" wire contacts the "neutral" or ground wire, electrical current flows to the ground.
Can you Hot-wire a boat?
You can hot wire a boat. It just matters what type it is.
Is it safe to touch a ground wire that is hot?
No, it is not safe to touch a ground wire that is hot as it could result in an electric shock or burn injury. It is important to always exercise caution and turn off the power before handling any electrical components.
What is a 3 wire hot water system?
What do you mean by hot water system? If you mean hot water tank than a three wire hot water tank means that its 220 volt electric. If you have to ask than don't touch it
Why we don't get shock if we touch neutral wire..we need two wires to close circuit pH and n when circuit closes current will flow around the circuit and one wire gets shocked other not why?
We don't get shocked when we touch neutral and ground because neutral is grounded back at the distribution panel, so the effective voltage between neutral and ground is very low. It won't be zero, because there is current flowing on neutral, causing a voltage difference between the load and the distribution panel, but it is low enough, assuming there is no malfunction, to not cause a shock.In the case of touching hot and neutral, or hot and ground, you will get shocked because there is line voltage between hot and neutral, and because neutral and ground are connected together, there is also line voltage between hot and ground.Note, however, that connecting a load between hot and ground is a violation of the code and the intent of the design, because ground is not rated to carry current except in short term fault conditions - you must always connect a load between hot and neutral, or between hot and hot, as the case may be.
How to hot wire a car?
just do it ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Right Way.
Which is an adjective touch or hot?
In sentences such as "Don't touch the hot stove" or "That wire is hot to the touch" the word hot is the adjective. The word touch is a noun in either case - although in the second, it is the object of the adjective prepositional phrase.
Why does ac power have a hot wire and neutral wire?
The hot wire carries current from the source to the electrical device, while the neutral wire carries current back to the source. This completes the circuit and allows electrical devices to function properly. The distinction between the two ensures proper functioning and safety in the electrical system.
Do you have to be touching the ground to conduct?
Not necessarily. You could touch the Neutral wire and hit a hot and get a shock. You could touch something that is grounded and then become a conductor that way.
How do you tell if ignition coil is bad on a 1985 300zx?
Easy way is to run the large out wire to a ground, one post on the coil to a ground and one to positive. Do not allow the large wire to actually touch the ground, have it just above the ground so that you can see a spark. Warning: do not touch the large wire while the other are hot. It has a lot votage and could possibly cause you to get injured.
What is the colour of the wire that can cause an electrical shock - white or black?
Black is hot, so if you grab the black wire and you are grounded the current will flow through you to ground. --------------------------- If the hot wire is energized, and is connected to a light or other piece of equipment that is "on", and the neutral does not travel back to the panel, wherever it is broken you can get shocked. In fact, this is a much more dangerous way to get shocked for 2 reasons: 1. Usually you are not expecting to get shocked from a neutral so often you treat it differently and less safely than you might the hot wire. 2. Since the electrical power travels through the load (the light or whatever) it is already limited way below the rating of the circuit breaker so it WILL NOT TRIP under normal circumstances on a fault of this kind. -- Sparkfighter
