A electric heater works by passing a current of 100 A through a coiled metal wire making it red hot if the resistance of the wire is 1.1 ohms what voltage must be applied to it?

Volts = Amps * ohms
110 = 100*1.1
Thus the voltage was 110 Volts.

What is a current-carrying wire?
A wire with some resistance and a voltage applied to it The amount of current I passing this wire is V/R
In a parallel ac circuit is the current additive?
Yes In parallel circuit , current entering into the circuit will be divided intodifferent paths ( resistances) . Amount of current flow depends upon the magnitude of resistance applied in the circuit. Total current after passing through the circuit will be the sum of all current through each resistance.
Can heating devices be made by passing an electric current through a conductor of high resistance low resistance high conductivity low conductivity?
Heating is caused by current flow. Certain types of wire like tungsten emit more heat than other types. Lower resistance means higher current for a fixed voltage per Ohm's Law. So the efficiency of heating with electricity depends on the material of the conductor, the operating voltage and the resulting current. In most instances this will be a low resistance with high conductivity.
Are there any materials that undergo strong contraction when an electric current is introduced?
Yes, all piezoelectric materials exhibit the reverse piezoelectric effect. A piezoelectric material is one that generates an electric field or electric potential in response to applied mechanical stress. Therefore, in the reverse case, passing an electric current through the material or an electric potential across the material, will cause it to contract or elongate, depending on the direction of the current. One of the best example of this is lead zirconate titanate which will contract/elongate up to about 0.1% of the original dimensions.
Why multimeter cannot used for measurement of insulation resistance?
Because ordinary ohmmeters are calibrated to measure a range of resistance values that are significantly lower than the resistance of insulation. It should also be realised that we usually test insulation resistance while subjecting the insulation to a high electric field, which a normal ohmmeter is incapable of producing.

What is the amount of electric energy supplied if the current and voltage are doubled?
Energy is measured in the SI unit Joule. One definition of a Joule is one ampere passing through a resistance of one ohm for one second. Thus doubling the electrical current (amperes/amps) passing through a resistance of one ohm for one second will double the energy. As for voltage, given that voltage (volts) = current (amps) times resistance (ohms) then, assuming a constant resistance, the voltage will double if the current doubles. Thus doubling the voltage (and therefore the current) passing through a resistance of one ohm for one second will double the energy (joules).
What is main reason of electric shocking?
Current passing through a part of the body, resulting from a voltage difference applied to 2 points on the body. Electric current passing through the body can greatly interfere with the functioning of muscles and nerves, because it's exactly what they use in the process of their normal functions, but much much greater.
What are electromagents?
Magnets that are turned on by passing an electric current through them, and turned off by not allowing an electric current through them.
What molecules make h2o?
mainly, an electric current passing throught
Why resistor provides bias condition to the circuit?
A specified amount of current is allowed to flow through the diode. if the current passing through the diode exceeds the specific value, the diode gets heated and is likely to be damaged. therefore in a biasing circuit a resistance R has been applied , which limits the current passing through the diode within a specific value.
Is electric circuit also called series circuit?
The 2 simplest Electrical circuits areSeries Circuit - Same amount of current running through loads but voltage various by the resistance of the loadsParallel Circuit - Same voltage on the different loads by subject to the load resistance, the current passing through is different
What makes H2O molecules separate?
mainly, an electric current passing throught
What is the cause of resistance and how the resistance and how the resistance of a wire can be determined?
Electrical resistance can be determined by the equation that defines resistance - Ohm's Law. Just divide the voltage across a resistor, by the current passing through it.
