Remain clear of the wire that is hanging from an overhead line and get in touch with the distribution's utility company immediately. They have the proper safety equipment to deal with situations like this.

The electric bulb in your household circuits are connected in parallel what happens to the line current and line voltage as you turn on more light bulbs?

The line current increases when more bulbs are switched on in parallel, since more parallel current paths results in lower effective resistance. The line voltage should not change in response to any normal use of electric power in a single house.


An electric bulb reads 220V-100W if it is connected across a 200V line what will be the power consumed?

80


Why no electric shock from neutral line?

There is normally no voltage on the neutral line because the neutral line is grounded. However, and this is always important, do not assume that neutral is grounded, nor that there is not an elevated voltage on neutral or ground due to a possible ground fault.


How much current will an electric heater draw from a 110-volt line if the resistance of the heater when hot is 26.7 ohm?

4.12A. V=IR


Is three phase transmission line is example of bundle conductor?

'Bundled' conductors describe a line in which two or more conductors are supported from the same insulator chain. In the UK, 275-kV transmission lines typically use two conductors per line, and 400-kV transmission lines typically use four conductors per line. The purpose of bundling conductors is to spread the electric stress on the conductors (e.g. for four conductors, the same amount of electric flux will be 'shared' between the four conductors, rather than concentrated on the surface of one conductor).
