What type of current flows in the opposite direction of wind related current?

oppositional currents


Different hemispheres-does water flow the opposite direction?

What you are talking about is the Coriolis effect. In the northern hemisphere currents rotate in a clockwise rotation and in the southern hemisphere current rotation is in an anti clockwise rotation.See related links below


An oceanographer notes a whirlpool of warm water in the middle of the cold Sargasso Sea How is this possible?

A countercurrent is flowing in the opposite direction of the wind-related current.


How is the equilibrant related to the net force?

It is equal in magnitude(measurement without direction) and opposite in direction.


How the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of an of an objects motion?

Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.


How does the direction of the force of kinetic friction is related to the direction of of an objects motion?

Friction always acts opposite to the direction of motion.


How are the size and direction of action-reaction forces are related?

Size: the same. Direction: the forces are in opposite directions.


The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the what?

The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the resistance.


What law states that the induced current is always in such a direction as to oppose the change in the magnetic field that generated it?

It is called Lenz's law. Refer to the below related link for its Wikipedia article. It is a direct result of Faraday's law. If you look at the equation.. ε = - dΦ/dt it is basically the negative sign that says the magnetic field of the induced current will be in the oppose direction of the change in the magnetic field. Do the following things. • Curl the fingers of your right hand. • Let your thumb represent the direction that the magnetic flux is increasing. • Because of the negative sign, the electric field, and thus the generated current will be in the opposite direction of you fingers. • So flip your hand over so that your fingers point in the opposite direction. • Now your thumb points in the opposite direction and that represents the direction of the magnetic field that the current generates.


Explain how the amount of current that flows out of the battery is related to the amount of current in the branches of the circuit?

Kirchoff's Current Law: The signed sum of the currents entering a node is equal to zero. This means that the current leaving the battery is equal to the sum of the currents in the branches of the circuit.


What is directly related to deep ocean current?

Movement of the ocean, or tides are directly related to deep ocean currents. Deep ocean currents are also responsible for the wind that causes the waves to crash into the shore.


How is the direction of current related to direction of flow of charge in a wire?

The relationship is quite intimate. "Current" and "flow of charge" are two names for exactly the same thing.
