The electrical protective device is designed to detect a difference in current between circuit wires and interrupt the circuit and stop the flow of electricity is : A.GFCI
It stands for Grand Fault circuit interruptor, this will open the circuit when a difference in current is detected between the existing wires

How can electric energy be converted to heat energy?
Goshia [24]
To do that, you must pass electric current through a substance
that electrons have to spend energy to pass through. 
The substance will be one that gets warm and dissipates heat
when electric current flows through it.
We'll say that the substance has "resistance", which we can measure.
The amount of heat that appears when current flows through it
will be (current²)·(resistance).

A few examples of things used for that purpose:

-- resistors
-- burners on electric stoves
-- coils of resistor-wire in a toaster
-- aquarium heater
-- electric clothes iron
-- electric coffee pot
-- blow-dryer
-- electric hair-curling iron
-- skinny tungsten wire in a light-bulb .

A spring is characterized by a spring constant of 60 N/m. How much potential energy does it store, when stretched by 1.0 cm?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2  

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

PIT_PIT [208]

<span>You should deflect the ball in order to maximize your speed on the skateboard.

Since this creates a larger impulse, you want to deflect the ball. Splitting it up into catching and throwing the ball may by something you can think of deflecting the ball. First, you need to catch the ball, which in turn would push you forward with some speed. (The speed we are talking about should obviously be equal to option A, where you catch the ball). Now, throw the ball back to him since these two processes are equal to deflecting the ball. Throwing a mass away from you would cause or enable you to move even fast.</span>
