Can voltage flow without use of wire?
We talk about current flowing, not voltage. Current can flow without wire as is witnessed in a lightening storm. Voltage can be transferred via induction through the air as well.
What will happen without a neutral wire?
Current needs a return path to earth to flow. The neutral carries this flow. Therefore, no neutral and no current flow.
How does a current flow through a wire?
according to kcl the current flows through a wire
Moving a wire through a magnetic field does not create a current flow in a wire?
Not true - Moving a wire through a magnetic field doescreate a current flow in a wire.false
Is there actually current flowing through the return wire?
Yes, there is a current flow through he return wire in a closed circuit. The only time there is no current flow through the return wire is when the circuit is open.
How do you measure electrical current flow in a copper wire?
Electrical current flow in a copper wire is measured with an ammeter. It is either clamped onto the wire or attached at one end to monitor the amount of current moving through the wire.
The flow of charged particles is an electric?
The flow of electricity is called electrical current.
What is the relationship between current and frequency in AC circuit?
Two words: skin effect. Now let's chat. Picture a wire with DC flowing through it. We are going to look at a cross section of the wire without interrupting current flow. Make sense? Picture it. When current flows in a wire in only one direction (DC), it uses all the available metal in the wire. Current flow in the middle of the wire will be about the same per unit of cross sectional area as current flow will be near the outside of the wire. Let's switch our DC for some AC. AC (alternating current) will flow in one direction for a while and then reverse direction to flow the other way for a while. Such is AC. And AC will cause current flow that uses all the available cross sectional area of the wire just as DC does, but only at low frequency. At higher and higher frequencies, current flow in the wire will shift away from the center and be more concentrated near the surface of the conductor. Near the skin of the conductor. AC of higher frequencies will promote current flow by skin effect, and that is the effect of frequency in AC current flow.
How does width of the wire affect the flow of current in a wire?
it just does The thicker the wire the more space there will be for electrical current to flow. What this means is that the electrons have a lesser chance of hitting the atoms and causing resistance.
Flow of electricity through a wire is called?
It is called electrical current.
Why does wire get to hot?
The current flow is too much
Current needs to flow through a connector such as?
wire
