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
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.
What does an electric circuit provide for the flow of electric current?
It doesn't necessarily have a 'function'; it is simply the natural consequence of applying a potential difference across a conductor. However, this is usually done for a reason, and its function is then derived from one or other of the three effects of that current:heating effect -e.g. electric heatersmagnetic effect -e.g. electric motorschemical effect -e.g. electrolysis (electroplating)
Why does more current flow through the bulb when the reed switch was replaced with copper wire?
Copper wire has apparently lower resistance than the reed switch. The lower electric resistance, the higher 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.
The flow of electric charges is called?
The flow of electric charges is current.
What is the flow electric charges called?
It is called an electric current.
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
What is the direction of flow of electric current in an electric current?
DC current
What is a continuous flow of electricity is called?
A current.
What does the electric current have?
In metal conductors, electric current is the flow of electrons.
When does the electric current flow?
An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).
What is an electric flow?
An electric flow, is Current. Measured in Amps(Amperes)
Which part of a circuit is a current?
Current is the flow of electric charge or the rate of the flow of an electric charge through a conductor.
What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
The flow of electrons through a conductor is called?
electric current
What is the continuous flow of electric charges?
electric current
