The resistance of a copper conductor will decrease with an increase of applied voltage?

No, the resistance of a copper conductor does not vary according to applied voltage. It is constant for a given wire size, and only varies with temperature. Of course, current through a conductor causes it to heat, so current, not voltage, indirectlycauses a change in resistance.


When a voltage is induced into a conductor (or coil) as a result of a change in current through the conductor the phenomenon is called?

self inductance


Is diode ohmic or non-ohmic conductor?

Diode is a non-ohmic conductor since in diodes current-voltage relation ship does't obey Ohm's law....the relationship between current and voltage is nonlinear here,...


When current flows in a conductor a magnetic field is created. The created magnetic field cuts the conductor which creates a voltage in the conductor. What is this voltage called?

It's called back EMF or reverse EMF. The EMF is electro-motive force, or voltage. What is happening is that the original current flow creates a magnetic field. That field then induces a voltage that opposes the original voltage that is causing the current flow. This back EMF "resists" the original voltage's efforts to cause current flow. If the created magnetic field did not oppose the original "efforts" of the voltage source to make current flow, then it would aid that voltage to make current flow. We would then get something for nothing and perpetual motion would be possible. We can't do that.


What are the three electrical guantities?

The three electrical quantities are current voltage and resistance. Current is measured in amperes (A) and is the rate at which electricity flows through a conductor. Voltage is measured in volts (V) and is the electrical force pushing the current through the conductor. Resistance is measured in ohms () and is the opposition to the flow of current. Current - measured in amperes (A) Voltage - measured in volts (V) Resistance - measured in ohms ()

What is the relationship between voltage and MA?

The "current" through any conductor is voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance .The current is measured in "Amperes" (amps)."MA" stands for "Milliamps". There are 1,000 of those in one whole ampere.So, the current through a conductor is1,000 times the voltage across the conductor/conductor's resistance . . . in MA


What is applied to a conductor to cause current flow?

voltage is applied to a conductor to cause a current flow


How do you explain current in Ohm's Law?

I=V/R, current = voltage divided by resistanceAnswerOhm's Law states that 'the current flowing through a conductor, at constant temperature, is directly proportional to the potential difference across the conductor'.Ohm's Law only applies when the ratio of voltage to current is constant over a wide range of voltages. If the ratio changes, then Ohm's Law does not apply.


Can an overhead conductor carry more current on a cold day as compared to a hot day?

The only limit on how much current the conductor can carry, regardless ofthe weather, is the amount of current that causes the conductor to melt.The current in such a conductor depends on the voltage between its ends,and on the resistance of the conductor. The resistance of the conductor issomewhat less when it's cold, so a given voltage would result in more current.

What is hall effect hall voltage?

The Hall effect is the production of a voltage difference (the Hall voltage) across an electrical conductor, transverse to an electric current in the conductor and a magnetic field perpendicular to the current. It was discovered by Edwin Hall in 1879


What is unilateral element?

When an element polarity of voltage or current source changes, the magnitude of the corresponding current or voltage changes is called unilateral element. Eg: Diode Even Diode connected back to back in parallel act as a Bilateral.
