In a conventional current, the electric field points the way decreasing electric potential goes. The current from the positive terminal is at a higher potential toward the negative terminal, which means the current is in the direction of decreasing potential.

What makes a current lower and generates more heat?
The resistance of the electrical conductor, eg a wire, reduces the current which can flow in the circuit. The remaining current which does flow generates heat, representing the electrical energy which has been lost in overcoming the resistance.
What do we call a material that reduces the flow of heat?
That would be - an insulator.
Steady flow of electrons?
elelctric current
What is the effect of the temperature on the gas flow rate?
higher temperature equals more flow, which reduces mpg.
What actually moves when an electric current flow?
Electrons move in electron current flow.
What in electricity is like friction and tends to reduce the amount of current flow like buildup in a pipe reduces water flow?
Resistance inhibits current flow.
What si a resister?
A resistor is an electronic device that reduces the current flow in a circuit.
Using the body of the car as a return path for current flow?
reduces the amount of wires needed.
what does resistor mean in science?
In electronics/electricity, it's a component or part of a circuit that opposes/reduces the flow of current.
What makes a current lower and generates more heat?
The resistance of the electrical conductor, eg a wire, reduces the current which can flow in the circuit. The remaining current which does flow generates heat, representing the electrical energy which has been lost in overcoming the resistance.
Why is a resistor positioned before the transistor?
It is done in order to protect the transistor from the heavy currents flowing (resistor reduces current flow) into its terminals.
Is there any analogy between nature and science?
consider current flow and mountain trekking,which is a good example for analogy... stones are resistances that further reduces our strength.
What do a resistor do in a circuit?
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.
What does a resistor do in in a circuit?
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.
What are the advantages of co-current flow?
A Counter-current flow has more advantages as comapared to a co-current flow.
What does an inline choke do to fluid flow through a pressurized pipe?
It reduces the flow rate.
What affect do weirs have on rivers?
They reduce flow, and create a backpool which reduces flow downstream
