Can a electric current affect a compass?
Yes. An electric current is surrounded by a magnetic field, and this will affect a compass. Please note that this is more noticeable in the case of DC - for AC, the current changes all the time, it changes very quickly, and the AVERAGE value of the magnetic field is zero.
A flow of electric current?
lighting
What does the energy carried by an electric current depend on?
The energy carried by an electric current depends on a conductor in order to flow. an Insulator disrupts the flow
How can we increase the magnitude of the magnetic field of an electric magnet?
Increase the magnitude of the electric current.
What is electric current current?
The correct term for the flow of electricity is current. Current is the number of electrons flowing per second in a circuit. The unit of electrical current flow is called the ampere. When 6.28 billion electrons pass a given point, this is called 1 coulomb. 1 coulomb per second is equal to 1 amp of current. Current flow is measured with an ammeter.
A temporary source of electric current?
A battery.
What particles create the electric current in a fruit battery?
An electric current is movement of electrons, no matter the source or cause.
Is arc welding an example of electric current?
No, an example of an electric current would be using a battery to light a lightbulb.
What is an electric current flow diagram?
This good? the current flows through the battery and light?
What does the electric battery do?
If there is a full circuit, it will send current around it.
When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
When wires are connected to the terminals of a battery. what causes electric current in the circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
Where does electricity get energy?
An electric current HAS energy. The energy comes from whatever caused the electric current to flow in the first place - for example, a generator, or a battery.
What are three household items that use battery as a source of electric current?
A cordless toothbrush, a battery operated electric clock and an electric flash light could be in this group of house hold items.
Device that produces an electric current by converting chemical energy into electrical energy?
battery
When two or more electric cells are connected together as a source of current?
parallel
Is this sentence incorrect any material that allows an electric current to pass through is called a battery?
Incorrect. Any material that allow electric current to pass through it is a conductor.
