When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric currents in the circuit?
The energy stored in the chemicals of the battery
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.
What are two ways electric circuits can be arranged?
Electric circuits with 2 terminals can be arranged in "series" or in "parallel". This applies to all 2-terminal circuits - including fundamental components such as resistors, capacitors, or inductors. The term "series" means that an electrical path in an existing circuit is broken and the circuit is connected to the 2 terminals of the break. The term "parallel" means that the electric circuit is connected between 2 existing terminals or nodes of the existing circuit.
What is the electric current from a battery?
A direct current is obtained from a connection to a battery.
Should you connect both ends of a battery in to a circuit?
The circuit won't do anything until both terminals of the battery are connected to the correct [two different] points in the circuit. As long as either terminal of the battery remains disconnected, the circuit is "OFF".
Why do electric cells have 2 terminals?
to form an electric circuit two terminals are required it is being closed and electric current passes through it .
Why voltage measured at terminals of battery to which load is connected is always lower than open circuit voltage?
Real-world batteries do not have zero internal resistance. When one connects a load (resistance) to a battery, current begins to flow and the open-circuit potential is divided between the battery's internal resistance and the resistance of the load. Thus, one will measure a lower voltage at the battery terminals when a load is connected, compared to no-load conditions.
When an ammeter is connected in a circuit which terminal of the battery must be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter?
The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.
What is the current in a 1.5V Alkaline battery?
The current depends on what is connected to the battery's terminals. If nothing is connected to it, then there is no current, and the battery lasts quite a while. In general, the current is 1.5/resistance of the external circuit connected to the battery until that number gets too big, and then the voltage of the battery sags, because it can't deliver that much current.
How many minutes does a 45mah battery last?
That completely depends on how much current is used by the circuit or device that's connected to the battery. For example, if there is no circuit or device connected to the battery, and no current is used, then the battery lasts for quite a long time. But if you lay a screwdriver across the battery terminals and create great balls of fire, then the charge on the battery may only last for 1/2 second.
What are the two places on a battery to which battery circuit wires can be attached?
Positive and Negative Terminals.
