Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Electric"

"wrote off" means "dismissed", essentially. So basically, the company doesn't believe electric automobiles have the capacity to properly replace regular ones .

Yes, having tan skin is very popular here. A tanning bed is shaped like a tube, you get inside, and you wait while UV lights are on. It's purpose is to try and simulate the sun to give you a tan.

You could say something like “plug your phone charger into the electric outlet” but to be honest in a common conversation you wouldn’t say “electric outlet”, that would be too formal. Maybe “the outlet”, or just “plug it in”

Electric is for things that use electricity to run (electric car), and electrical is for things related to electricity (electrical engineer).

electric 電気 (電力を利用する) 「ポット、イロンなど」 electronic 電子 (集積回路、トランジスタなどが入ってる) Electric guitars usually have a "pickup" (a magnetic transducer that detects physical vibrations of the guitar strings) Electronic drums use synthesizers or samples to recreate drum-like sounds pickupについて http://guitar-hakase.com/pickups/

This one's a tough one 😂 "Electric" refers to something that runs on electricity (eg. An electric guitar). It can also be used figuratively (eg. The night was electric) "Electrical" is used in a more general sense and refers to something that is just related to electricity (eg. An electrical engineer) I hope I have explained myself well enough!

You're welcome! Yes l, but the most natural sentence would be "I get shocked by the door nob every morning" or "I get a shock from the door nob every morning"

Because electric starts with a vowel, the "a" in front of it becomes "an".

I "got" an electric shock. Cause you've "touched". You "get" if you "touch". Good job. :)

I think the sentence is slightly broken, but I'll explain that part later. "the smartphone" is the subject. The core of the sentence is "the smartphone signals that it has detected the gas". In other words, the smartphone somehow detects the gas, and then does something as a result. "the gas in question" just means some specific gas they are talking about. "by sensing a change in electric current" is the way that the smartphone detects gas. The "tag" is some device which generates a different level of current depending on whether the gas is present. So, "by sensing a change in electric current" should describe "has detected". The smartphone signals that it has detected (by sensing the change in current) the gas in question. I think the sentence is broken because it seems to use "by sensing the change" to describe "signals". This makes no logical sense, so it is probably not what the writer actually meant. I might say: When the smartphone senses the change in electric current on the tag, it signals that it has detected the gas in question. (Here "it" refers to the smartphone, not the tag.)

It depends on what I'm making. I use the oven when I'm cooking meals or baking, but I use the microwave when I'm reheating food.

"spread"の場合は意志とか意識とかものではないからでしょう。 ✕　The danger of earthquakes needs extra safety measures. ◯　The danger of earthquakes requires extra safety measures. "danger" can't "need" something. In the case of an animate object, either word is correct, but require sounds more formal/文学的 ◯　The dog needs food. ◯　The dog requires food. (少し不自然。) Also, ◯　Wizard needs food, badly. ← This is correct because reasons.

This is how I would say it , hope it helps :D

We have also been thinking about this issue. It could be solved by replacing new ones every time it happens. I have checked the defective parts with our machine, but they were good. For this reason, we tried to reuse one of them in another machine that had the same problem last week, and we had no problems for 3 days. After that, we put the original defective part back in again, and it worked as we had expected. We think that the electric insulation is being broken by the humid compressed air that is used for cooling, but we cannot measure it with the normal multi-meter we have because it has very low values. If you give us your permission, we could open it up and dry it out to see if it works or not.
