What is the voltage of microwave with a resistance of 5 ohms and current flowing of 10 amperes?

It looks as if you can use Ohm's Law to calculate this: V=IR (voltage = current x resistance).


What is the Ammount of current flowing?

The measurement of how fast the current is flowing is the Ampere.


What is the name of flowing electricity?

Flowing electricity is called electric current.


What kind of force keeps current flowing in a circuit?

EMF (voltage) is the force that keeps current flowing in a circuit.


What does a inductive ammeter do?

It measures current by creating a coil around the current carrying wire. Current flowing in the wire induces a current in the amp-meter proportional to the current flowing in the wire.


When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction what current is there?

It is called an alternating current


Why was the capacitor discharging current negative?

When a capacitor is discharging, current is flowing out of the capacitor to other elements in the circuit, similar to a battery. Current flowing out of an element, by convention, is defined as negative current, while current flowing into an element, such as a resistor, is defined as positive current. Thus a discharging capacitor will always have a negative current.


When is the current flowing in a circuit said to be very small?

When the current flowing in a circuit is very small the resistance will be very high.


What is a circuit called if its operating and the current is flowing?

This is called a closed circuit. If current was not flowing, it would be open.


On what factors the current flowing through a device depends?

Current flowing through a device depends on resistance offered by that device.


When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction there is a what current?

Alternating current would fit this description.
