What do you do when the ground wire from the wall is too short to reach the grounding screw on the new fixture plate?
Splice a new green wire to extend it, using the same size gauge of wire. Do not use wire nuts, use a proper electrical connector with grub-screws which can be securely tightened-up. As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
What very important process happens in the outer core why is it important?
the outer core is made mostly of iron, and it is so hot the iron melts. powerful electric currents are formed as the liquid outer core moves. these electric currents create earth's magnetic field. this magnetic field protects the planet from harmful solar radiation and atmosphere.
