Is nichrome a good conductor of electricity?
No, it has high specific resistance. But not an insulator. Due to high specific resistance it gets heated as current flows through it. So it is used in heating elements of heating electrical gadgets. The most advantage of Ni-Cr alloy is that it is not easily oxidised.
What is the difference between concentrated urine vs dilute urine?
Concentrated urine forms because ADH is present which absorbs water. As tubular fluid flows down the descending convulated tubule, the water osmotic decreases. As it flows through the ascending tubule the water osmotic increases, becasue water is impermeable in ther ascedning Loop of Henle, so while Na and K are being taken out, water is not. There is also a counter current flow that happens in the LOH.
The flow of current in electrodes is in which direction?
The ELECTRONS flow from the negative to the positive terminal. But it is considered that the electric current flows from the positive to the negative terminal.
How is argon used in our society?
Argon is used in lightbulbs, as when an electrical current flows through argon it releases a bright plasma. It is additionally used inside insulated windows due to its high specific heat capacity.
What Material through which water is readily flows is termed?
permeable

What happens to the current at a junction in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the current divides when it comes to a junction. Part of the current flows through one branch and the other part flows through the other.When the two branches have the same resistance, the same current flows through each branch.When the two branches have different resistances, a bigger current flows through the branch with the smaller resistance - it's just easier this way!Hope i helped ;)
What happens when you switch plug sockets on?
The current flows through the cable of the plug, to whatever wants to be turned on.
What metal or material is used in the rear window defroster?
A High resistance wire, such as NiChrome; the wire heats up when amperage flows through.
What flows through a complete circuit?
Current flows through a complete circuit.
What happens when the circuit is closed?
Current flows
When a electric current flows through a wire it creates a?
When an electrical current flows through a wire it creates what is called an Electro Magnetic Field.A magnetic field is create when an electric current flows through a wire.
The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual resistor connected in series?
True
What happens when a direct current is passed through a helical spring?
in an adjacent coils ,the current flows in same direction so there is force of attraction shortening the coils.
How does a current flow through a wire?
according to kcl the current flows through a wire
True or false The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual parallel sub-circuit?
True
