All three wires, the "hot", neutral and the ground must all maintain the integrity of the circuit. This is why pigtails are connected from the main circuitry to the receptacle or switch devices so that they can be removed without opening the electrical circuit.

How do you use a pleura vac?

To use a pleura vac, first ensure the device is connected to suction. Open the valve to allow air and fluid to be removed from the pleural space. Monitor the device for proper functioning and maintain a consistent negative pressure as prescribed by the healthcare provider.


Predict whether a fuse will work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect?

A fuse will not work successfully if it is connected in parallel with the device it is supposed to protect.First, it will blow because it has no resistance in series with it. Second, once it blows, the device still has power applied to it. Fuses must be wired in series.


Why would a neutral wire and a hot wire have continuity?

A neutral wire and a hot wire would have continuity because they are part of the same circuit. Continuity means there is a complete path for the flow of electricity between the two wires, allowing current to travel from the hot wire through the device and back through the neutral wire. This indicates that the circuit is intact and functioning properly.


What is the difference between 12 volt 4 amp and 12 volt 5 amp battery?

The capacities of batteries are rated in amp hours. The higher the amp hour rating of a battery the longer the device connected to the battery will operate. Depending on what the connected load draw in amps is, will determine how long the connected device will operate.


Will using an AC transformer with higher amps damage a kids toy?

Using a transformer with a higher capacity that is needed by the device connected to it will not damage the device. This is as long as the voltage the device needs is the same as the transformers output.

What are devices are connected so that there is only one one path for current to follow?

In a series circuit, devices are connected in a single path so that the current flows through each device in sequence. If one device fails or is removed, the circuit will be broken, and no current will flow.


What is a device connected to a network such as a computer or a game console?

A node is a device connected to a network such as a computer or a game console. (Each device connected to a network is referred to as a node. A node can be a computer, printer, game console, or router.)


What does the values of continuity test indicate?

1) A continuity tester is a simple device consisting of two testing probes and a light (LED) or buzzer indicator. It is used to detect the presence of continuity or a break in between the two ends of a conductor which is connected to its testing probes. For instance, if the two probes of a continuity tester are touched to the two ends of a wire bundle, its indicator may get activated to confirm that there is no interruption in the continuity of the wire and everything's fine, or, if the indicator shows no action it would mean that there's a break in the continuity of the wire and needs attention. It may also be used to trace out faults in complicated electronic.
