Path made for an electric current?
A path made for an electric current is classified as a conductor and can come in the form of many shapes and sizes.
What controls the strength of a magnet made with electric current?
The strength of a magnet(electromagnet) made by flowing electric current through a conducting coil depends on magnitude of current. . .
Which property of Electric current is used in electrolysis?
Probably the fact that a typical electric current is made up of moving electrons. Also, the fact that it carries energy.
What is a magnet made by electric current?
An electromagnet.
Up to how many paths can an electric current follow?
There is no limit. If you have a TV, a light and a refrigerator, electric current can go through all three.
Is copper a good conductor of electric current because its atoms are made up of more electrons than protons?
Yes, copper is a good conductor of electric current because its atoms have loosely bound electrons in the outer energy levels, which can move freely between atoms when a voltage is applied. This flow of electrons constitutes an electric current.
What propery of electric current allowed Edison's fist light bulb to light?
The property that allowed Edison's first light bulb to light up was the flow of electric current through a conductive filament, typically made of tungsten or carbon. This flow of current passed through the filament, heating it up to a high enough temperature to emit light.
How does electric fire heat up a room?
An electric fire heats up a room by converting the electric energy into heat energy. The electric current flows through a heating element, usually made of metal coils, which then radiate heat into the room. Some electric fires also use a fan to distribute the heat more effectively.
What is an electric current made of?
It is made out of small particals, smaller than atoms called electrons.
What happens to the electric current when the wire is made smaller?
If wire delivering a certain amount of current is made narrower, the resistance of the wire will increase. This will limit current, and the wire will warm up some. If the wire is made shorter, resistance will decrease. The electrical codes have well published limits on the amount of current different types of wire can carry.
How electric bulb glow when the electric current passes through it?
When an electric current passes through a filament inside the bulb, the filament heats up due to resistance, causing it to emit light. This process is known as incandescence. The filament is usually made of tungsten, which has a high melting point and can withstand the high temperatures generated.
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
