(.....My 9yr old daughter just told me this)
Why can a shock from mains electricity kill you?
it can stop your heart
Certainly UK mains voltage,,240 V ac is enough to kill an average person
What is the electrical voltage of a home service panel?
Either 110 v or 220 and 110, depending on how your house is wired.
If a series circuit has a 12 v battery what is the current flow?
You'd need to know either the resistance or the wattage of the circuit. Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by resistance or Current = Power divided by Voltage
How do you make your own flashlight without having to buy one?
Connect a light bulb to a battery, and put the whole thing in a tube so you can hold it.
Objects which need a good conductor of electricity to work?
a good conducter of electricity needs what object to work
Which part of the electric kettle is the earth wire connected?
the metal casing of the electric kettle
How long did it take Morse to perfect the telegraph?
In 1838 Samuel Morse perfected Joseph Henry's invention of the electromagnet. It was not until 1843 that the government funded a telegraph graph line from Washington to Baltimore.
What does the electricity at work act cover?

Is it easier to generate static electricity in a dry room or a humid room?
When the air is dry, static electricity is enhanced and more noticeable because of the easiness in transfer of electrons.
Does a GE 24 circuit A Series panelboard 3 phase accept bolt on breakers?
Type AE and AQ accept bolt-on breakers, type AL accepts plug-in breakers.
Does a Square D NQOD424M100 panel board accept bolt on breakers?
According to Square D, it accepts bolt-ons and plug-ins. I'm not much of a Square D guy, so I can't tell you for sure. Check the related link for the PDF containing this information.
What is the difference between a transformer and a rectifer?
A transformer is used to change the value of a voltage applied to the transformer's primary winding to a different voltage value taken from the transformers secondary winding. A rectifier is used to change an alternating current value to a direct current value.
What helps a boat produce electricity?
Solar panels on the boat store energy from the sun.The energy from the sun is converted or changed,into electricity

What do you call a machine that uses the power of rushing water to create electricity?
It is called a hydro electric turbine generator.
What is the Colour code system for screw in fuses and breakers?
The Answers community requested more information for this question. Please edit your question to include more context.
What size generator will be necessary to run a two and a half ton air conditioning unit?
To answer this question the voltage and amperage of the unit must be stated. Once this is given the generator size can be calculated.
How can you produce twist cable?
You usually buy it. If you need just a short piece, and you have some single-conductor wire, you can measure out two pieces a little longer than you need, tie one end to something, and chuck the other ends in an electric drill to twist them. The wires will get shorter as you twist, so be sure to start out with longer pieces.
How much electrical energy does a 100W lamp use in 1 second?
Watts measure power. Energy is measured in joules and is the product of power and time. 1 joule = 1 watt for 1 sec Energy used in the example = 100 x 1 = 100 joules
The difference between a 4-wire and a 3-wire is a separate ground and neutral. That being said, all you have to do is connect the ground wire to chassis ground, and the neutral wire directly to the neutral connection. The phase wires are made up the same as the old cord. You must also remove the bonding jumper, but if there isn't one... IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS. If you do this work yourself, always turn off the power at the breaker box/fuse panel BEFORE you attempt to do any work AND always use an electrician's test meter having metal-tipped probes (not a simple proximity voltage indicator) to insure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
