What refers to electric current when electrons always flow in the same direction in the wire?
When electrons always flow in the same direction in the wire it is known a DC (direct current).
What is a circuit with a broken wire?
No current will flow though a circuit which is broken.
What is an unit that tells how much electric current flow through a wire?
amperes or A.
Why any electric wire get suddenly cool when electric current cutoff?
Heat in an electric wire is mainly caused by the rapid movement and collision of electrons as they flow along it, when an electric current is cut off, the flow is greatly reduced causing a huge drop in temperature.
What is the difference in the direction of the magnetic field produced around conductor by dc flow and ac flow?
The direction and amplitude of the magnetic field around a wire depend on the direction and amplitude of the current through the wire. When the wire carries DC, the direction and amplitude of the current in the wire are constant, so the direction and amplitude of the magnetic field around the wire are constant. When the wire carries AC, the direction of the current in the wire is periodically reversing and its amplitude typically changes, so the direction of the magnetic field around the wire is periodically reversing and its amplitude is typically changing.
Why does wire get to hot?
The current flow is too much
Why does wire get hot?
The current flow is too much
When phase and neutral are glowing what is the problem in circuit?
There is more current flowing and the wire can not flow that much current.
How does a current flow through a wire?
according to kcl the current flows through a wire
Moving a wire through a magnetic field does not create a current flow in a wire?
Not true - Moving a wire through a magnetic field doescreate a current flow in a wire.false
Is there actually current flowing through the return wire?
Yes, there is a current flow through he return wire in a closed circuit. The only time there is no current flow through the return wire is when the circuit is open.
How do you measure electrical current flow in a copper wire?
Electrical current flow in a copper wire is measured with an ammeter. It is either clamped onto the wire or attached at one end to monitor the amount of current moving through the wire.
The flow of charged particles is an electric?
The flow of electricity is called electrical current.
Can you flow a current in vacuum without wire?
no
How does width of the wire affect the flow of current in a wire?
it just does The thicker the wire the more space there will be for electrical current to flow. What this means is that the electrons have a lesser chance of hitting the atoms and causing resistance.
Flow of electricity through a wire is called?
It is called electrical current.
Current needs to flow through a connector such as?
wire
