i never rated my ability higher than average. i accept that you guys know more than me, but i just don't see the importance of all that extra knowlege. i recognize the importance of your knowledge when you need to wire complex circuits like our 3 phase current pannels and maybe working on the...

never thought you guys in this forum would take this so personally as to call me an idiot. but anyways in st.lucia allot of people wire their own outlets every day, we wouldn't call an electrician for such a simple task. you guys seem to be the scientists behind electricity but as far as i can...

i'm not really from the virgin islands, i'm from st.lucia in the caribbean. my country just wasn't in the list. my country uses 220 volts dc, very easy to wire but thanks for your help along the way

i guess i did well because my house has been running for almost 8 years. you don't need to know the science behind electricity to under stand how a breaker or an outlet works. half of the architects who draw house plans know nothing about how to build them. they only know theory not practical...

thanks for your response. you've answered my question without even knowing it. from what you've said i gather that resistance is what makes the bulb a load. so now i know that a resistor or something which has resistance is exactly what i've been looking for. you may not believe this but i...

obviously i didn't mean to see the electrons, do u take me for a fool, lol .i mean just something that would simulate what the bulb does to become a load, in other words i want to make an artificial load so when i make a circuit out of my artificial load i know that it will not spark or heat up...

no i'm just doing a simple test. to my understanding current comes from the red wire which is positive, goes through a load, which is a light bulb or the toaster and then leaves through the neutral or ground(usually the neutral)wire heading back to the power station and thus the circuit is...

thanks for your responses but the video dosen't explain anything related to my topic, and the reason i used this thread is because forums usual hate when there are multiple threads asking the same question, but sorry. now from what i understand the reason it would heat up the neutral or...

what causes the positive wire to spark when u touch it against the nuetral or ground wire. shouldn't the electrons be happy to go back to ground, Or does it just spark because the wires were not making proper contact and the current jumps from positive to neutral? and what would happen if you...
