As an electromagnetic wave travels its energy is carried through?
constantly changing electric and magnetic fields.
What will induce an electric current in a wire?
There are two ways of doing this; 1) moving a magnet perpendicular(at right angles) to a coil of wire 2) placing a coil of wire in close proximity to another coil carrying an AC current.
The current in electrical wiring has a frequency of 60 Hz. What is its speed?
The speed of a current is about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum - in other words, the current travels at a speed of about 200,000 km/sec. This is independent of the frequency.AnswerAlthough the effect of an electric current is felt, more-or-less instantaneously along the length of a conductor, the individual charge carriers move very slowly in the direction of that current. In fact an individual electron is unlikely to travel the length of a flashlight's filament during the lifetime of its battery.
Does lightning travel faster through air that is dry or through air that has lots more moisture?
Air is an insulator .......but still the lightning travels through it by ionising it.On the other hand water is a good conductor and ligthning finds path through it to reach the earth.Thus ligthning travels faster through air that has moisture than dry air.
Can light travel through materials?
Yes, through some materials. It certainly travels through air, and you may have noticed that it travels through water and glass.Yes, through some materials.

What is the path that an electrical current travels?
electric current
What do you mean by heating and magnetic effect of electric current?
When electric current travels through a conductor, there is always resistance. This resistance causes some of the energy of the current to express as heat. Additionally, the movement of the current causes a magnetic field to form around the current in a clockwise direction. This principle is what allows coil heaters and induction motors to operate.
Does electric charges travel only through wire?
There are 2 questions in this : 1: if it is about material... A: No electric charges can also travel through all the conductors of electricity like water, humans, animals, metals etc. 2: if it is about area in which electric charges pass through... A: No, If current is AC then it travels on the surface of the wire, and if the current is DC then it travels through the wire evenly.
What do you call a path along which electricity travels?
an open circuit
What is The complete path of an electric current described as?
circuit is the complete path of an electric current including the source of electric energy.
What is the speed of electricity?
The speed of an electric current is determined according to v = I/nAQ (average speed equals current divided by the number of charged particles moving, the cross-sectional area of the conductor and the charge of the particles). This basically means that a normal current e.g. the current in a house's wiring travels at about walking pace.
How does eletricity go though wires?
Electrons do migrate through the wires, but their motion is relatively slow. The actual current is carried as an electric field, which travels through the wire at nearly the speed of light.
A light bulb and an electric motor are connected in a series describe the amount of current in each device?
Te same current and amount of current travels through each device in series. The amount of voltage available to each is different.
What is electromagnetic induction?
Electromagnetic Induction mainly deals with the ways that energy is shifted about between Electric and Magnetic fields in various circumstances. Here are some major examples:1. A moving Electric Current Induces a Magnetic field: Electromagnets.2. A moving conductor in a magnetic field Induces an Electric Current: The Dynamo or Electric generator.3. An Electrified Conductor in a Magnetic field Induces motion in the Conductor: The Electric Motor.Related Information:Albert Einstein's considerations of inductance, an Electrified length of conductor moving through a Magnetic Field in an empty volume of space, led him to his theory of Special Relativity.
What is it that travels through an electric circuit at nearly the speed of light?
the wave front of electric current. the electrons themselves move much slower but they keep pushing electrons ahead of them on resulting in a wavefront that moves at almost the speed of light.
What kind of energy travels in vibtating waves through the air?
electric magnet
How do resistors affect a circuit?
It reduces the current. As the current travels through the resitors it has some current that is left in the resistor. And
