Why a wheatstone circuit is called a bridge?
An electrical circuit used to measure an unknown electrical resistance is called a Wheatstone bridge. It is called a bridge because it balances two legs of a bridge circuit.
The unit of current in which 6240000000000000000 electrons flow past a given point in a circuit in one second is the?
The amount of current is measured in units called amperes or amps. One ampere of current is equal to the charge of 6,240,000,000,000,000,000 electrons flowing past a given point in a circuit per second Its in the Penn Foster Book.
What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current can follow only one path?
It is called a series circuit.
What measures the flowing in a circuit?
The flow in a circuit is called the electric current and it is measured by voltages. The number of volts that are present in the charge will determine the strength of the electric current.
What is a surge in voltage or current in an electrical circuit called?
A transient, surge, spike, etc.
What is a electrical circuit?
An electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load". ---Nerd
The constant flow of electrons through a complete circuit?
That is called electrical current.
Conducor in a battery that collects or emits electrons?
In a battery, or voltaic pile, the negative terminal or wire, called the anode, emits electrons in an electrical circuit. The other terminal, called the cathode, collects electrons in an electrical circuit.
What is the closed loop called that lets the electrons move?
An electrical circuit.
What are the parts of a simple electrical circuit?
An electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return" or "earth ground". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load".Contents[hide] 1 Electrical-circuits2 Electronic circuits3 Circuit-and-wiring-diagrams4 Circuit-breakers5 Ground-fault-interrupt-(GFI)-devices6 Other websites
What is the name for the flow of electrons in an electric circuit?
A flow of electrons in an electrical circuit is called a current, which is the name given to the amount of electrical charge flowing in a certain period of time.Any total quantity of electrical charge is measured in coulombs.Any flow of electrical current is measured in amps.1 amp is equal to a flow of 1 coulomb of electrical charge in one second of time.
What goes around a circuit?
Charge, in the form of electrons, flow through a circuit. This is called electric current. 1 amp = 1 coulomb of charge per second flowing past a point in the circuit.
In order for the electrons to move they need a closed loop called?
electrons need a closed loop called what in order to move?
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.
What is this is the energy associated with movement of electrons through a wire or circuit?
That's called electrical energy.
What called the flow of electricity?
The flow of electricity is called the current. It is measured in Amps (I).Current is the flow of electrons around an electrical circuit.
What does volt measure?
Voltage measures the electrical potential between two parts of an electrical circuit. Also called electromotive force. Voltage provides the 'pressure' to drive electrons round a circuit.
