What two wires touching causes a short circuit?

the red wire and the blue wire A touching of two wires coming from any potential power source will cause a short circuit Short circuit relates to the quickest path back to the source with out any resistance to the current flow.


Can you put two wires in one conduit and two wires in another conduit of the same circuit?

No, each conduit should only contain wires from the same circuit. Mixing circuits in a conduit can lead to interference and safety hazards. It is always best practice to keep conductors of the same circuit together to prevent potential issues.


How do you wire a two pole lamp holder with a pull chain when you have four wires coming out of the wall?

Assuming the wires are 2 blacks and 2 whites, and assuming one set provides power and the other set continues the circuit downline, you connect both black wires to the black wire of the lamp holder and connect both white wires to the white wire of the lamp holder. Turn the circuit off before making these connections.


How many wires does a straight 220V circuit have?

A straight 220V circuit typically has 2 wires - one hot wire (typically black or red) and one neutral wire (typically white). These wires are used to carry the electrical current to and from the device being powered.


How do you split one circuit into two branch loads within a junction box?

You should have black (hot), white (neutral) and bare wire (ground) coming into junction box. The two circuits leaving the box should use the same size wire which should be sized for the branch breaker and you just use a wire-nut to connect all black wires together, another wire-nut to connect all white wires and a third wire-nut to connect together all ground wires. Since you are splitting into two branches, all wire-nuts should have three wires of the same color.

How do you re-connect the stock amplifier to the stock subwoofer in a 2001 Lincoln Navigator?

There is plugs on the end of the speaker wires. "The wires coming from the subwoofer box. There should be to wires coming from the sub enclosure". These wires should have a plastic plug on the end that plugs in to the amplifier.

How can I fix reversed hot and ground wires in an electrical circuit?

To fix reversed hot and ground wires in an electrical circuit, you should first turn off the power to the circuit. Then, switch the wires so that the hot wire is connected to the hot terminal and the ground wire is connected to the ground terminal. Finally, turn the power back on and test the circuit to ensure it is working correctly.


What do long straight lines represent in a circuit diagram?

They are the wires through which current flows when the circuit is closed.

Must wires be connected to breaker box?

It should be connected to circuit breaker. Circuit breaker will automatically discontinue the flow of electricity if it detects faulty condition.


What is the standard color coding for red, black, and white electrical wires in a circuit?

The standard color coding for electrical wires in a circuit is red for live or hot wires, black for neutral wires, and white for ground wires.


What is the color of the wires in the electrical circuit: green, black, and white?

The color of the wires in the electrical circuit are green, black, and white.
