What does electricity mean in science terms?
Electricity is the flow of electrons from areas of high potential to areas of low potential.
How do fluids move through a pressure difference?
Fluids flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure.
What is the difference between electron flow direction and electric current flow direction?
the electrons flow from the region of low potential to region of high potential. the electric current also flow in this direction but for convention we took it as the flow of positive charge from region of low to high region potential.
The pressure gradient force causes air to flow from areas of relatively pressure to areas of relatively pressure?
high to low
Explain why drinking through a straw shows that fluids flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure?
Because your sucking
What is high resistance what is low resistance?
Low resistance lets electrons through easy, and high makes it harder for them to pass. Basically electricity is harder to flow through high resistance and vice versa.
What is high resistance and low resistance?
Low resistance lets electrons through easy, and high makes it harder for them to pass. Basically electricity is harder to flow through high resistance and vice versa.
What direction do molecules of osmosis move?
Osmosis is not a molecule. It is the flow of water through cell membranes from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
Explain why drinking through a straw shows that fluids flow from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure-?
This is significant as the drink moves up the straw and into your mouth.
Why does wind flow from areas of high pressure to those of low pressure?
Sana Karenza says: Well it flows to that area because it's low pressure, low meaning closer to the earth's center.
What is electricity sources?
Sources of electricity are areas of high electric potential. This means that the region/area has a net negative charge i.e. high number of free electrons. Electricity is created when these areas of high potential discharge their electrons into neighboring areas of lower potential because it is by definition the flow of electrons from high to low potentials. Most man-made electricity is created using some form of generator. Generators are devices that convert mechanical energy into electrical. Typically this is done by rotating high powered magnets inside tightly coiled copper wiring. The magnet essentially tears electrons off the copper atoms creating high negative potential within the wire. The resulting flow of electrons out of the generator through wiring to areas of less potential is electricity. In nature we see electricity when high negative potential builds within storm clouds because friction between water droplets tears electrons free. The negatively charged clouds discharge into the ground below in the form of lightening.
What is air moving in a specific direction?
From areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Hope this helps! :)
