When a current carying conductor is cut through the any cross section but why does not the electron come out from the conductor?

Sometimes they do. This is seen as sparks. When the dielectric constant of the air gap is low enough, electrons will "leap across" the gap that is cut. Electrons are not like water in a pipe in this regard. Cutting the conductor is more like plugging the pipe.


What does carying capacity mean?

Carrying capacity refers to the maximum number of individuals of a particular species that an environment can sustainably support without degrading the ecosystem. It is influenced by factors such as resource availability, habitat space, and environmental conditions. When a population exceeds its carrying capacity, it may lead to resource depletion, habitat damage, and a decline in population health. Understanding carrying capacity is crucial for effective wildlife management and conservation efforts.

Does earth have carying capacity for humans explain?

Earth has a carrying capacity for humans, which is the maximum population that can be sustained by the resources available on the planet. Factors such as food, water, and energy availability, as well as environmental impacts like pollution and climate change, all contribute to determining the Earth's carrying capacity for humans. By managing resources sustainably and reducing environmental degradation, we can help ensure that the Earth can support its human population in the long term.
