What is it when too much current flows through a conductor?

Overcurrent, sometimes called shortcircuit.


What determines the strength of the magnetic field when current flows through a conductor?

Magnetic fields currently flows through a conductor is determined by multiplying the number of turns of wire by the current flow. This is what causes electricity.


When a compass is placed near a conductor where current flows its needle would deflect what does this indicate?

This proves that a magnetic field is developed around the conductor wen current flows through it...


Why you get electric shock when current flows opposite direction in a conductor?

When current flows in a conductor you do not get an electric shock provided you do not touch the conductor.


How do magnets magnetic fields electric currents and metals connect?

Well when an electric current flows through a conductor a magnetic field is produced. And a changing magnetic flux through a conductor produces a current in the conductor.


Is it true that when an electric current flows through a long conductor each free electron moves through a relatively short distance?

It is not true that when electric current flows through a long conductor each electron moves through a relative short distance because electric current is the continues flow of electrons.

Is a light bulb an insulator or conductor?

It is a conductor, but the filament is a resistor : as current flows through the filament, some of the energy is released as heat and light.


Is current from a generator flows through the phase line and return through neutral to generator?

Yes, except that the correct term is 'line' conductor, not a 'phase' conductor.


What is the relationship between magnetic fields and electricity?

-- A current flowing through a conductor creates a magnetic field around the conductor. -- Moving a conductor through a constant magnetic field creates a current in the conductor. -- If there's a conductor sitting motionless in a magnetic field, a current flows in the conductor whenever the strength or direction of the magnetic field changes.
