The wire size is large enough to carry the load current and that the cord is properly voltage rated.

Is the black wire connected to the line or the grounded line when connecting a power cord to a motor?

Black is the hot side of the line, white the neutral side, green (or rarely bare) wire is the ground.


How can a toggle switch be added to a light cord?

Think this one through. There are a few different switch options as far as what can be added to the line cord of a light. A toggle isn't one of them. The in-line switch comes in a few different flavors. The rotary switch is arguably the most common. It's got that little wheel. There is a rocker switch, too. It's pretty close to a toggle in action, so you should look at this one closely. There is also a larger-bodied dimmer switch that can be put in the line cord (but it's for incandescent and not for fluorescent lights). This bad boy has a wheel on it that can be rolled from a point where it "clicks" and turns the light on, and then allows the gradual brightening of the lamp from barely visible to a "full on" position. The big name manufacturer Leviton makes all these switches, but so do other companies. All are designed and engineered specifically for use in a line cord for a lamp. And that's the value of the products. You don't have to figure anything out. Were you planning on installing your toggle switch in a little box to isolate and protect the wire lugs? Or were you just gonna wrap a bunch of black electrical tape around the whole thing? (The former is a pain, and the latter is not advised.) Make a friend in the electrical department of your local hardware store or home center. Pick the right in-line switch and then install it correctly and safely.


What does the grey line on a diode means?

I'm assuming it's a rectifier diode. (black with a grey line usually says 1n400... on it) Picture an arrow and flatten the point of it and that would be your line. So if you want to charge a battery then the line is going to be on the positive terminal, but if you are powering a circuit then the line would be on the opposite side of the positive. It gets confusing so remember the arrow. Hope this helps.

What are the characteristics of an overhead line insulator?

The insulator has to have the insulation factor of the primary line that is connected to it. It has to have a design that will not allow moisture to pool around it. The design also should include a shape that will make it self cleaning.

What is a line that goes through a circle?

A line that goes through a circle is a secant line. (Remember that a line is infinitely long.) Anyline that passes through a circle is a secant line, whether it passes through the center of the circle or not. Compare this to a line segment with endpoints on the circumference of a circle. That segment is called a cord of that circle. If the cord of a circle passes through the center of that circle, it is a diameter of that circle, which is the longest cord of the circle.

That segment is called a cord of that circle. If the cord of a circle passes through the center of that circle, it is a diameter of that circle, which is the longest cord of the circle.

What is a line through a circle that does not go through the center?

A line through a circle that does not go through the center of the circle is a secant line. A line through a circle that does go through the center is still a secant line, by the way. Compare this to a line segment that has its two endpoints on the circumference of the circle. That line segment is a cord of the circle. If that cord of the circle passes through the center of the circle, then the cord is a diameter of that circle.

What is a line that passes through the center of a circle?

Any line that passes through a circle and touches two points on its circumference is a secant line. (Recall that a line is infinitely long.) If the line passes through the center of the circle, it is still called a secant line. Compare this to a line segment that has its endpoints on the circumference of the circle. That line segment is called the cord of the circle. If that cord passes through the center of the circle, it is a diameter of the circle, which is the longest cord of that circle.
