What does current mean in science?
It is probably used in the sense that current electricity is the opposite of static electricity. Current is a measure of the movement of electric charges, while in static electricity the charges do not move much.
What is an unit that tells how much electric current flow through a wire?
amperes or A.
Why should you not touch electric appliances with your wet hands?
If there is a small mA current leak in the appliance your wet hands increase your conductivity to the appliance up to a point where you might feel an electric shock. Dry hands have a high resistivity, whereas wet hands do not, the resistance is much lower.
The current in an electric hair dryer is 12 A How much charge and how many electrons flow through the hair dryer in 5 Min?
q=it so q=12 x (300sec) = 3600 C
What thing protect equipment from too much current by tripping a switch that breaks the circuit stopping the flow of electricity?
In electrical terminology it is an over current device. This could be an electrical breaker. Another form of an over current device is a fuse.
What is the rate of a flow charge?
Rate of flow of charge is called electric current. Generally we knows current means flow.... here rate of flow of charge means how much charge flows in a given time is called electric current
Why is the flow of electric current opposite to the flow of electrons?
Because much of the theory of electricity was developed before scientists realised that it was not a moving positive charge that was responsible but a negative one (of the electron).

What is an unit that tells how much electric current flow through a wire?
amperes or A.
Which way do charges flow?
This answer depends on who you are asking some people say it flows from negative to positive and others say its the other way around but really it doesn't matter that much because normal 60Hz AC changed direction 60 times a sec
What is a rapid movement of electrical charge from one place to another?
an electrical charge produces a flash of light.
Flow of an electron will contain how much current?
1.6x10^19 amperes is the amount of current that a flow of an electron will contain.
When too much current flows through a condutor it is called a?
electric current
How are electric current and electric charge related?
It might be possible to characterize an electric charge as a current -- if that charge is moving. Any moving charge is electricity under the fundamental definition of that term. Electricity is generally thought of as moving electrons, but a more fundamental definition of electricity is any moving charge or group of charges. If your electric charge is moving, it is electric current.
Why does wire get to hot?
The current flow is too much
Why does wire get hot?
The current flow is too much
What is a resister in electronics?
The resistor a passive component is oppose the flow of electric current. How much it oppose to current it depend on the value of resistance and the value of resistance is mention on it on the color code format. you need to remember the value of every color.
