Q:If one of the two metal things on a electrical cord is larger than the other, but the holes in the outlet are the same size so it won't fit, is it okay to force it in?

The holes on the outlet are never the same as dictated by code. You may not be able to detect the difference but they are different. The purpose for the blades to be the same size is to ensure that your connection is properly polarized.

Q:If humidity of a spacecraft is too high, how can it affect a crew and its equipment? what if it was too low?my sister did not get to go on her field trip but they gave her the worksheet this is the only question she cant answer please help!

It would be very difficult for it to be too low which would have to happen by some defect in the moisture extraction system. If it did, people would have skin cracking problems and dry mouth like we do on earth in winter in heated spaces, but equipment would be fine. Since the atmosphere is constantly recirculated with oxygen added and CO2 removed, the moisture from sweat and breathing would build up like it does in a car when people are necking inside - most noticeable in winter. So there are dehydration devices to keep it down. If it were allowed to build up, it would condense on the cold surfaces of the craft and could drip into electronics and corrode or short circuit them (not iodize them)

Q:I don't intend to get a job with this but it would be good to know some things about it since everything runs on electricity now.

There are very few university graduates with good practical knowledge. I was interested in electronic engineering since the age of 4 but couldn't get to the right university. Those who come out of universities usually sit at the desk all day long and stare at the computer and do calculations for real engineers. We need both purely practical hands on engineers and ''mindless'' theoretical ones.

Q:Also, do students studying to become either one of these need to study things like how to program an java and stuff?

I am studying Mechatronic it's a mix of both. You need C for sure as an electrical engineer.

Q:01 impala trunk equipment?I have an 01 impala and theres some equipment in the trunk on the drivers side. what is it for?it is some electrical equipment. with wires plugged to itits not the amplifierits on the drivers side tire well

amplifier or computer on star gps counterweight

Q:i was on the computer and now i feel empty?? im not mad sad i just was on the comp and i felt like this

I don't care what people say, electrical equipment and the energy such equipment gives off is not good for you. Take a few hours to go read a book, take a walk or even just a nap. Then, try limiting your time on the computer to as few hours as possible until you begin to feel better; it took me over a month to get back to 'normal' from a bout of computer-induced 'depression.' Good luck.

Q:Have a neighbor that is selling his van to an 80 yr old man. The van has serious electrical issues that go off and on. Just so happens it was working right when the buyer drove it. But almost everything in the dash goes on and off. Mostly it stays off. Is it legal for the seller to not be honest?

I know some states have a ''as is'' law. but the seller has to state what all is wrong with the car also,

Q:I would like to know about background historical trends in heavy electrical equipment industry in India and future prospects of sourcing heavy electrical equipments in India.If you have any report or thesis on similar topic, please share with me.It would be of immense help to me.

Suggest that you contact the Indian embassy, trade department, they will probably give you a list of suppliers.

Q:and how does its work?

It will basically provide safety protection from electrical shock. Occassional large electrical equipment may become temporarily energized --- maybe a down power line, or by accident. By grounding the equipment, the earth that you are standing on, and the equipment will always be at the same voltage. Therefore, even if the equipment becomes energized at 25000 Volts, the ground you are standing on will be at 25000 volts as well. So there is no potential difference and therefore, no electrical shock. Without the earth connection --- there would be a 25000 Volt potential difference, and you would suffer severe electrical shock, or even death. Excerpt from Wikipedia: Ground or earth in a mains (AC power) electrical wiring system is a conductor that provides a low impedance path to the earth to prevent hazardous voltages from appearing on equipment (the terms ground (North American practice) and earth (most other English-speaking countries) are used synonymously here). Normally a grounding conductor does not carry current. Neutral is a circuit conductor (that carries current in normal operation), which is connected to earth (or ground) generally at the service panel with the main disconnecting switch or breaker.

Q:Hi I'm doing a music project at the moment, writing songs, music, etc.my genre would probably be considered alternative/electronic rockMy current vision for my set up is an electric guitar and my macbook.I create most of the music via macbook (drum parts, synth parts, basically all the programing)Playing live i suppose i'd play these songs on my laptop. While i do this, i sing, and play rhythm guitar along with the samples and instrumentals on the macbook.My question is, how do I connect all this stuff on stage? Could anyone out there recommend anything that I could use to connect my macbook to speakers for performing live.p.s I know nothing of playing with electrical equipment (been doing acoustic for a very long time) all I know about live equipment is connecting a guitar to a guitar amp.so is there like a way to connect a macbook to an amp? or speaker of some sort?Thanks in advance.

In order to get the most from your Mac as sound generator use a reasonably good audio interface (like the E-mu 0404 usb or something from M-audio). This should be connected to a mixer and this one to the PA system. You also should connect your microphone and guitars to the mixer too, so you can control the volume of each instrument, including the Mac. Although you can connect the mac directly to an Amp I won't do that in order to get control of volume and have better sound. Computers generally don't like live performing. Electric voltage can be unstable (heavy power consumption and lights on-off pattern). Use the appropriate electric equipment to make sure the computer always receive the correct amount of voltage. If not, it can fail and ruin your performance. Make a test where possible.
