Current is basically, the rate of flow of charges through a conductor or wire.

It is commonly denoted by the alphabet I and measured in Amperes.

I = ne/t

n = no of electrons

e = charge on an electron

t = time taken for electron to move

When an electric current passes through water it causes the water to start to combust?

no, when an eletric current passes through water, it causes the water to start to decompose into hydrogen and oxygen


Who discovered that the electric current flows at the speed of light?

The discovery that electric current flows at the speed of light is attributed to a Scottish physicist named James Clerk Maxwell. In his equations known as Maxwell's equations, he determined that the speed of electromagnetic waves, which includes light and electricity, is constant and equal to the speed of light.


For an eletric current to flow the only thing needed is for two objects to have a difference in charge?

Yes. However, depending on the size and shape of the objects, the amount of current that flows may be small and/or flow for only a brief time until the charges are neutralized. But - if the objects are connected to an electrical power source such as a battery or a wall plug, the charges are continuously supplied and the current continues to flow.


What is a measure of liquidity?

the two ratios that measure liquidity is acid test and current ratio. the acid test ratio is current assets- stock/ current liabilities the current ratio is current assets/ current liabilities


In Percy Jackson and the lightning thief what is unique about Clarisse's sword?

Clarisse's sword is described as being a bronze blade that transforms into a lazer-guided electric spear when thrown. This is unique because it combines ancient bronze weaponry with advanced technological capabilities.
