How would you find out the length of the wire effects the voltage drop across the wire when the current passing is kept constant?
A: There are tables that qualify IR drops for wire lenght. All wire do offer resistance to current this current will cause directly a volatge drop according to the wire resistance so it can be measured to find the IR drop
What does a inductive ammeter do?
It measures current by creating a coil around the current carrying wire. Current flowing in the wire induces a current in the amp-meter proportional to the current flowing in the wire.
What is a current-carrying wire?
A wire with some resistance and a voltage applied to it The amount of current I passing this wire is V/R
Does earthing wire carry current?
The earthing wire does not normally carry current.
What does current-carrying wire mean?
It means that a current flows through the wire.
Does the power of a magnet increase if it is rapped in a coil of wire and you add current to the coil?
Find out yourself.
Does thin wire carry more current than thick wire?
No. The larger wire can carry more current.
What is meant by the term fusing current?
Fusing current for a wire is the current at which the wire will act like a fuse (melt).
How does a current flow through a wire?
according to kcl the current flows through a wire
What can induce an electrical current in a wire?
A magnetic field can induce an electrical current in a wire.
Which happens to the magnetic field of a wire when you change the direction of the current in the wire?
The polarity of the magnetic field of a wire reverses when you change the direction of the current in the wire.
Where can one find out the current loan rates in their area?
One can find out the current loan rates in their area on websites such as PR News Wire or Wikipedia. One can also find this information on SBA or Property Radar.
