Q:What is a wiring harness?

A wiring harness is a plug in device most often used on your in dash head unit, it makes wiring easier because you can wire it while sitting down with plenty of lite then when you get in the car you can just plug it into the cars wiring and your ready to go...lots of modern autos also use a wiring harness for the speaker wires the advantages are less though because your only dealing with two wires.

Q:I'm trying to use a stereo wire instead of a mono wire for an output from a circuit I've built. The problem is, the gold wire has been cut too short, and I'd rather not strip it back any further since I don't have a lot of cord to work with. Since there are three wires (red, white, gold - ground) can I use either the red or the white as output, and the remaining color for ground, or do I have to use the gold cable for the ground and let the remaining wire dangle (taped)?Thanks

They're just wires - you can do what you want with them. You run the risk of forgetting that you've ignored the colour coding though!

Q:Hello everyone! I have what is probably a very simple question.I'm not exactly a radio expert. So my question is this:Is there a difference between copper wire and antenna wire (copper as well)?

ANTENNA WIRE CONTAINS A FEW STEEL WIRES COMBINE WITH COPPER WIRES THEN TWIST TOGETHER. THAT MAKE THE ANTENNA CABLE IS MUCH STRONGER AS IT IS USED TO BUILD SHORT WAVE T SHAPE ANTENNA THAT REQUIRE A LENGTH OF HUNDRED FEET.

Q:A long horizontal wire carries a current of = 52 . A second wire, made of 1.00--diameter copper wire and parallel to the first, is kept in suspension magnetically 5.0 below.What is the magnitude of the current in the lower wire?

There is 1V across ampere meter. To find the current.... Current = 1V / meter internal resistance

Q:When I cross the black wire and ground I get a spark. Isnthis normal?

You should be tripping the breaker when you cross the two, If not, then something is wrong with the breaker. The black is always hot, this isn't a car. Actually, any colored wire is hot except for the white and the green. So in a big house with emt conduit or a commercial job, any colored wire is hot. A 3 way switch with a 3rd leg traveler that is not marked can carry a load, I got knocked off the ladder the other day by one, some idiot connected the traveler to the white, I got zapped big time. I hate when they do that.

Q:OK, so pretty much this is where im at, I clipped the connector off the wires that went into my stock stereo and now have the wires from my new deck and pretty sure I just have to connect them. Is there A good diagram or tell me what goes to what here.... I'm a bit lost. Its to late to buy a wiring harness seeing as I clipped off the connector... so I dont need to here how I should buy a wiring harness. Thanks

Q:I have a physics project and my teacher is saying that we should do a wire loop toy?? What the hell is that. Can anybody give me a example and how it is related to physics?? Pls answer back

Wire loop toys mean wire connected to your toy and a handle along with battery.

Q:I need to buy some electrical wire for my car, does it matter what color the copper wire is inside of ( i.e. black,yellow,red,green,blue,etc.)

The color of the wire indicates wire gage

Q:I recently Hooked a newer Pioneer cd player up in my 00 mustang gt!.. it will not keep memory. The only way it will come on is when the red(power) is hooked up with the Yellow wire!.. but this way it will not hold a memory.. theres a few orange wires but i have hooked them up and it still wont keep memory? any suggestions?
