Yes as long as they are in a romex style wire. Like 12-2 for example. Which is individual wires incased in an outer jacket. You should never have just single wires running in the attic unprotected or anywhere for that matter. Individual wires must be in a conduit. And any splices should be in a box.

Can you splice a240v 30amp receptacle to move it further?
Yes, but you have to do it correctly. You should use 10 AWG wire. The splice should be in an approved electric box using the right size wire nuts. You secure and protect the extended wire and you should not "bury" the splice box in the wall, but cover it with an approved cover made for the purpose. If it is a surface mount box, cover it with a blank metal cover.
What determines the amount of electric current flow through a circuit?
voltage and resistance v=ir v=voltage i=current r=resistance in physics right now
What is the difference between electricmotor and generator?
Here are the main differences between an electric motor and an electric generator: Functionality: Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical or kinetic energy, whereas electric generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Usage: Electric motors are used in fans, mixers, washing machines, and other household appliances, whereas electric generators are used as power backup during outages, in construction sites, mining areas, and agriculture. Fleming’s Rule: Electric motors follow Fleming’s left-hand rule, whereas electric generators follow Fleming’s right-hand rule. Principle: The working principle of a motor is based on the current-carrying conductor, whereas the working principle of a generator is based on electromagnetic induction. Current: In motors, the current has to be supplied to armature windings, whereas in generators, armature windings produce current. EMF: Electric motors give out back EMF, whereas electric generators produce induced EMF.
What is the most important component of electric circuit and why?
That's a matter of opinion. Here's mine: The most important component of an electric circuit is the power supply. Because without it, no other component of the circuit does anything.
What kind of wire do you use for a 100 amp service?
If you are supplying power to a 100 amp cont. load then 100 x 125% = 125 amp A #3 wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively. A #1 wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 130 and 140 amps respectively.
