Q:I'd like to know what quot;wiremeans when it refers to computers. Is it the computer itself or the Internet?

Wire is an old term. Way back in the day, many many moons ago, in the day of cowboys and Indians, there was an invention called the telegraph. Telegraphs are connected (or network as we say nowaday) by electrical wires. News and latest info are sent to the telegraphs through these wires. The postmaster received the latest info and breaking news from out of town through this contraption. He then handed the info over to the writers and said: This just came over the wire! or This just came across the wire! So through the years, over the wire and across the wire meant: The latest breaking news or info just published or broadcasted.

Q:Which is live and which is not, there is a black wire and a blue wire?

The oven is rated at 220 volts they are both hot conductors.

Q:-note-NOT . resistance wire.resistance OF A wire :)lol sorry, just had so many people give me resistance wire.thats not what i want :Li want ..what is the resistance of a wire?its for my science :) pleasee help

Q:I have a 98 oldsmobile intrigue. Stock radio was taken out a while ago so all there is are wire hanging out. I don't know what I need, a wire connector or wire harness. Honestly don't know what's what. Also need to know how to use the wire connector/harness.and what goes to what

those wires you see are factory wiring for the factory radio. if your putting a aftermarket radio in it go to radio shack and ask for plug-ins for your car.with those plug-in all you do is hook the wiring from your aftermarket radio to them then plug them into the factory harness.

Q:Ok. so i wired my cd deck into my 92 buick, but everytime i start the car i have to manually turn on the cd deck. i also have to change the settings everytime! and once i turn off the car the setting will not save and the setting will be lost. Now everytime i turn my car on i have to manually put the settings again! this did not happen in my old car! and i think it might be the wiring! Because the last cd deck i had did save the settings! and would turn thge cd player on everytime i turned on my car!! and it would play the track back, right where i left off. please help! i did attach the yellow cable wire the red cable to the battery current.? is there a problem!

sparky is right. The yellow wire keeps the memory, and should have constant power even when the ignition is off. The red wire should have power only when the ignition is on. If the radio is left on when you turn the car off, it will come back on when you start the car, but only if the radio keeps constant power on the yellow wire. For your car: The constant power wire should be orange (connect to radio's yellow wire) The switched power wire should be yellow (connect to radio's red wire)

Q:I just bought an aftermarket cd player for my Grand Cherokee and I would rather not have to cut and strip wires so I want to get an wiring harness adapter. My question is, can I just get any wiring harness adapter or do I need the direct connection adapter that is specifically made for Chrysler to Kenwood?

You just get the jeep wiring adapter and then solder or use crimp caps/butt-connectors to connect the wires to the aftermarket harness that comes with the aftermarket headunit. Also, depending on what year Jeep you have you may need an antenna adapter. AND I believe on the Jeeps (like the chryslers) there is not a usable ground wire in the factory wiring harness which means you will need to ground the aftermarket ground wire to the chassis via an existing bolt or drilling. Or, if the stock radio has one of these metal-mesh things affixed to the back, you can use that thing as well. But when you match up the Jeep harness you buy to the factory harness and you will be able to tell if there is ground wire in factory harness.

Q:I have a kicker cvr 12 inch 2 ohm dual voice coil sub (400 watts) and a kicker zx750 amp. how to wire?

MDC is correct. You need to remember anything that is run (+) to (+) and (-) to (-) is parallel. When you run this with one dual voice coil sub, or two subs together, and then bridge it at the amp in mono, you are actually supplying a higher percentage of power from the amp, and the amp will see an ohm load that it may not be able to handle, which will cause thermal overload and shut the amp down when it gets too hot. Running in series will bridge the ohm load up. In your case your 2ohms that you run in series will double your ohm load. Increasing it to 4ohms, and when you bridge it mono at the amp, the amp will see around a 2ohm load in mono. Good luck!

Q:Whenever I'm making jewelry, I typically wind up using crimp beads (with toggle closures, in most cases). Whenever I cut off the beading wire at the end, after enclosing the crimp bead around it, there's always this itsy bitsy part of the wire that irritates me to no end when I wear the jewelry. It seems that I can only cut the wire so much before I wind up snipping at the crimp bead. How can I remedy the irritation fact of the left-over wire?Maybe put glue on the wire piece and let it dry? Idk. Grr.

Here is the way to get rid of the scratchy wire: Take the wire on through the crimp bead and thread it down into the beads, and then crimp the wire. If you have a little wire sticking out there on down between the beads, just bend back the beads, and clip it with your jewelry wire cutters that have a side edge. Be sure and cut your wire with a couple inches to spare so you have enough wire to attach the clasp and thread the wire down. I was having trouble with the crimp bead scratching, no matter how I crimped it. I found out that they sell a crimp cover. It looks like an open clam shell, and you just slip it over the crimp bead, and close it with pliers. Beware, there is something called a clam shell, but it has a eye on it, it is for non-metal stringing materials. Another thing I found was a little tiny horseshoe called a guide. It goes above the crimp bead, and holds the clasp. It protects the wire from the wear and tear of the clasp. And it is so easy to pull the wire through it once it is on, you can adjust the length of the wire over and over. I was literally stuffing the wire down into the beads with a pliers. No more! Just pull on the end, and down the wire goes. No more ugly lengths of wire between the beads and the crimp bead. I found both these items in gold and silver colors, at Michaels, and Craft etc on line, and on other online sites. So, save the glue for working with elastic cord and gluing a bead over the knot to hide it.

Q:On what actually does ampere depends, thickness of wire or number of turns of wire or what else? Electrical

Higher current requires lower resistance in order to prevent heat buildup in wires. Multi-strand wires are not suitable for higher amperage applications. Stranded wires have higher resistance and insulating air pockets, which will cause them to heat up with increased current.. possibly to the point of melting insulation and/or causing fire hazards. Some stranded core wire uses material other than copper to cut costs, which further increases resistance. Large diameter solid core copper wire is the standard solution. They offer lower resistance and better heat handling ability. The trade-off is less flexibility and lower durability in moving or reuse situations.
