How a electric heater works 2 references?
An electric heater is a resistor that dissipates electric power when a voltage is connected across it and a current flows through it. The amount of power in watts is equal to the voltage times the current in amps. Typical space heaters for use in the home are 1.5 kW to 3 kW to heat a single room.
What is the Function of fuse in an electric circuit?
A fuse places a limit on the amount of current that can be drawn by an electric circuit by opening (blowing or melting) when the current exceeds a preset limit. This protects the circuit and the surroundings from fire or damage in the case of an overload or short circuit.
The ampere is the unit of electric in the metric system The amount of current per second is what?
The ampere is the unit that measures current. The current is like a flow in a pipe or a river. Just like a flow could be liters or gallons per second, one ampere is 6.24 x1018 electrons passing per second.
Is an AMP in electricity the amount of power generated?
No, an ampere (amp) is a unit of electric current, not power. Power is measured in watts (W) and is the product of current (amps) and voltage (volts). Amps represent the rate of flow of electric charge, while power measures the amount of work done or energy transferred per unit time.
An electric current occurs in a circuit when?
An electric current occurs in a circuit when a source of energy (or power, which is energy with a time factor) causes electrons to start slowly moving through the circuit at a speed of a few mm or cm per hour. This allows the quantity that we call charge to race through the circuit at a speed of roughly a million miles per hour, which is what we call electric current. Mathematically defined, electric current is the amount of charge which passes a given point in the circuit each second of time, I = Q/t .The source of energy or power can be as nearby as an energy cell or battery, or can be an electrical generating station located many miles away.
Is the amount of current that flows in the wire of electric circuit the same as the current that flows in the filament of the light connected in that circuit?
yes
What is a current electricity?
An electric current is the amount of electrons per unit time or seconds.
How do you explain the effect of the number of batteries on the amount of current produced?
The number of batteries has only an effect on the amount of current when they are equivalent and connected in parallel. The amount of current that can flow from a group of batteries connected in series is limited to the current provided by the battery that produces the lowest current flow in the string.
What allows the current to enter the electronromagnet in an electric motor?
The resistor allows current to enter the electromagnet in an electric motor. The resistor regulates the amount of current that enters the electric motor.

What does electric current will flow through the earth wire mean?
Insulation failure in an electrical equipment will cause some amount of current, depending upon the severity of fault flows through the metallic body and then through the earth wire which is connected to the body.
Why is the amount of current flowing through the body important in determining the severity of an electric shock-?
The amount of current varies between 1 mA and 3mA. The gender and age determine the minimum amount and current.
Does the gauge of a wire change the amount the energy it carries?
It determines the amount of electric current it can safely carry
What is the definition for current intensity?
Current intensity refers to the amount of electric current flowing through a conductor in a given time, measured in amperes (A). It is a measure of the rate at which electric charge flows in a circuit.
High voltage by itself does not produce electric shock What does?
The amount of current passing through your body and the path of the current.
How much heat can electric current passing through the human body create?
It depends on the amount of current, enough current can cook the body.
How much current should be given to mice in Electric Shock experiment?
The amount of current that should be given to mice in Electric Shock experiments would depend on what is being tested
