That is called a short circuit.

What causes contact chatter in electrical circuit?
Overload can cause contact chatter. Once the contact closes, the voltage in the circuit collapses and that causes the relay to drop out. At this pint the relay energizes, since the voltage is back. This cycle will continue on.
A device in a circuit that uses electrical energy to do work?
This sound like a basic Physics, or Electrical Shop' question ferom a high school student. If you really need an answer post it again or contact me and I'll supply another answer.
Star delta control circuit diagram?
The Star-Delta control circuit diagram shows the delta contact and the main contact.
What is the purpose of an insulator?
Keeps the current in the conductor. Without the insulation on a conductor the current can and will leave the intended path in the electrical circuit if it comes in contact with some other conductive path if there is a difference of potential.

When a tree falls on power lines grid what fault is it?
It depends on what happens. It could cause adjacent conductors to clash (line-to-line short-circuit fault), or it could break a conductor which then makes contact with the ground (line-to-earth short-circuit fault), or it could be neither of these.
Is there any short circuit between strands in stranded conductors?
As the strands are in contact with each other, of course there is.
Effects of connecting poor contact in electrical circuits?
An effect of connecting a poor contact in an electrical circuit could be intermittent current flow.
How do you say no contact in latin?
No touching, as in "no contact" between elements of an electrical circuit: nulla contagioNo communication, as in "no contact" between acquaintances: nulla communicatio

Does the spring in a flashlight complete the circuit or does it convert electrical energy into light energy?
A flashlight's spring is just to ensure a good electrical contact at both ends of the battery.
What are the definition of electrodes?
An electrode is an electrical conductor used to make contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit (e.g. a semiconductor, an electrolyte or a vacuum).
The main reason why you should avoid bodily contact with ground while working on live electrical equipment is that such contact will?
The main reason why you should avoid bodily contact with ground while working on live electrical equipment is that such contact will complete a circuit. If you are in contact with any electricity, this means that your body becomes part of the path for the electricity and it will pass through you as it heads into the ground.
Why did my Wipers stop working on 93 Chevy silverado?
The electrical contacts on the pulse board are likely not making contact or are damaged in some way. You can replace the pulse board (about $25 from pep boys.), it is located on the firewall, next to the wiper motor. Actually looks like a square box adjacent to the wiper motor. You may just need to clean the electical contacts inside. They are two brass or copper pieces which make contact with a spiral wire on the circuit board. Make sure they are clean amd making contact with the circuit board.
What is a path through which current flows?
A path through which current flows is generally called a circuit. Some might say a complete circuit to denote a "closed loop" through which electricity can leave one electrode or contact on a voltage source, travel through some conductors of some kind, and then return to the other electrode or contact on the source.
What are arcing contacts?
Whenever an electrical contact is made or broken, an electrical spark jumps through the air between the two contact points while they are very close together but not yet, or not any longer, touching. That spark jumping is an electrical arc and the event is arcing contact. The main cause of arcing is the property of a circuit to maintain the continuity of the current, so whenever the contacts separate to break the circuit the air (or any dielectric medium that is used) ionises and continuity of the current is maintained, at least momentarily.
What are electrical contacts?
Two answers for this question. An electrical contact is any point in a circuit that a wire connects to, such as a screw or terminal block. The term is also used when referring to control circuits. There are contacts inside Relays, Ligthting contators, and motor starters. They can be called N.O. for normally open, and or N.C. for normally closed. They "Make" of "Break" and electrical circuit.
