What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a circuit?
The voltage source is the source of the electricity. The conductor is what the electricity flows through to reach its destination. Example: A battery is a voltage source and an electrical wire is the conductor.
Why are fuses used for protection of resistive loads?
Fuses actually have a lower resistance that the wire or carrier that is carrying current to and from the fuse. The purpose of a fuse is so that it will burn out before the carrier burns out. When a fuse burns out it breaks the current and therefore no more electricity can pass through it until the fuse is replaced. You gauge the fuse for a little more current than you normally have traveling through the wire. If a power surge of electricity comes through the wire the fuse will burn out instead of damaging the electrical device that is plugged into or wired into the carrier.
Copper wire is an example of what?
A Reddish metal, a good conductor of electricity and heat, ductility, tensile strength, malleability, and good, clean fun!
What are some examples of a closed circuit?
A connection from a power source, through a load and a return back to the power source. <><><> An example: electricity is supplied to the light switch on the wall through an insulated copper wire, even though the switch is in the off position electricity is present. There is another insulated copper wire going to the light bulb. When you flip the switch the circuit is completed and the light bulb comes on.
What material will allow electricity to flow between the battery and the lightbulb?
Yes, copper wire is a conductive element and is the most addiquite substance for distribution of electricity known.
