Hello, I am struggling to understand how electricity is generated in an AC generator... I know that there is a coil of wire and a magnet, and both of them have their own magnetic fields and as the magnet moves into the coil's magnetic field, it causes electrons to move in that coil. Well if that...
Why does Electricity need a closed circuit for the current to flow? Especially in AC where electrons are just pushed back and forth... Wouldn't there be current generated in a wire that's moved through a magnetic field?
Why cant there be current until the break of the circuit? you know...
The thread i started has been closed so i had to start a new one to respond
To D80, i dont use a voltstick to prove a circuit is dead, i have just got into the habit of using it before i test for dead
To Dpelectricalltd, I shall stick around even though i know how much some of the posters on...

Hi there, thought I'd better say my hello. I'm from Lincoln, just started in the business and whilst I might have the exams sorted, I think I'm going to be asking loads of practical advice.
I look forward to taking part in discussions as time goes by. Thanks, Ade.

hi, i am connecting a time delay relay onto a lighting circuit. i am going to have a switch on the circuit, when you switch the light on it should go on and stay on, until the switch is switched off again. when the switch is switched off, i want the light to stay on for ten minutes then go off...
If we have a double pole RCD which is, let's say 30mA 80A, will it trip in an overload situation above 80A in a similar manner to an 80A incomer? Or is it just 'rated' at 80A in the same way a switch may be rated at 6A or whatever?
I'm sure it's a dumb question that I should know the answer to...
Hi am thinking of a course with Access Training since i live in cardiff but looking on this forum there seems to be alot of qualified electricans who cant find jobs, so is there and point in me doing a course and finding i can get work - i want to work for someone not on my own.
thanks
