What else can I help you with?
Do charges in an electric circuit flow because of a difference in electrical potential energy?
Yes, charges in an electric circuit flow from areas of higher electrical potential energy to areas of lower electrical potential energy. This creates a potential difference that drives the flow of charges through the circuit.
How does electric resistance affect electric charges?
In an electrical circuit ,, resistance is the force that resists the flow of electricity thru the circuit .. this is used in light bulbs to create the heat and light that we expect from the bulb .. and heat in a toaster fron the resistance in a wire making it hoy enough to cook the surface of the bread
Do electrons lose energy or speed when they cross over a resistor?
Electrons lose energy when they pass through a resistor due to collisions with the atoms in the resistor material. This loss of energy manifests as heat. The speed of electrons may decrease as a result of this energy loss.
What is an advantage of a tankless water heater?
You do not run out of hot water, and do not lose energy in storing hot water.
Why do you lose electric current while using any electric device?
The device in question needs energy to work; the energy has to come from somewhere. In the case of electrical devices, they have been specifically designed to take their energy from the electrical network - or in some cases, of a battery.
How could you suddenly lose all hot water pressure without losing any cold water pressure with a electric water heater?
The cold side inlet may be plugged with sand or rust.
How do animals lose energy?
Animals lose energy simply by existing. The more strenuous the activity they are performing, the more energy they will lose.
Will a charge exit a circuit with less energy than they had when they entered the circuit?
It makes sense for charge carriers to lose energy in a circuit, but I don't think it quite works that way. For example, a voltage doesn't accelerate an electron or other charge carrier at a single point - rather, the force experienced by the charge carriers would be spread out over a larger area.
Is a volt a lot of energy?
A volt is not a unit of energy. It is a unit of something that in English is usually called "voltage". It is really about electric potential. One volt is equal to one joule/coulomb; that means that if an electric charge of 1 coulomb goes through a potential difference of 1 volt, it will either gain or lose 1 joule of energy.
What items transforms 100 percent of the energy it receives into useful energy?
Nothing or anything that converts energy is 100% efficient because as one form of energy is converted into another form, some energy is lost in that of heat, sound or other factors. The most efficient form of energy is the fuel cell as it converts chemical energy in electrical energy directly but still it's not 100% efficient. A2. I think that an electric convector heater would be 100% efficient, as it has no moving parts to lose energy through friction, all the electric energy absorbed in the device is emitted as thermal energy.
You smell antifreeze when running the heater?
May have a bad heater coil or a lose coolant hose clamp near fire wall.
What is heating effects of electric current?
When electric charges move through a wire, they lose some of the energy to the atoms in the wire. On receiving the energy, The atoms vibrate more and more causing the wire to heat up. Some of the Electric Energy is changed to heat energy. The higher the resistance the more the heat energy. The amount of heat generated is governed by Joule's first law: Q = I2·R·t where Q is the heat, I is the current, R is the resistance, and t is the time. If I is given in amperes, R in ohms, and t in seconds, the units of energy for the heat will be in Joules.
