What will happen if a wire that is plugged in heats up?
its casing will dry out, crack and catch fire, or it will crack off and cause arking, which can cause a fire... ultimately, check the gauge size of the circuit and make sure it corresponds to the proper amperage of breaker, if this is all good, you need a bigger cord(the gauge size must be sufficient for the intended tool/device.. a drill that has a 16 amp rating needs a 12 gauge cord whereas a 12 amp drill needs only a 14 gauge cord.
How many vacuum tube in one transistor?
There are no vacuum tubes in a transistor. A vacuum tube is an electronic device that uses a heated cathode in a vacuum to direct and control an electron stream to an anode, also known as the plate. The vacuum tube is old technology, but it is still used today, typically in high power applications such as transmitters. A transistor is an electronic device that uses solid-state semiconductors to similarly control an electron stream. The transistor is newer than the vacuum tube. It offers lower power, smaller size, easier use and other enhancements over vacuum tubes, within limits, of course, such as voltage and power.
