What is the term used for the hindrance a conductor creates to the flow of electric current?
Resistance is the hindrance a conductor creates to the flow of electric current
What is a material that will carry an electric current called?
A material that will carry an electric current is called a conductor. Conductor materials have high electrical conductivity, allowing the flow of electric charges with minimal resistance. Examples of conductors include metals such as copper, aluminum, and silver.
What do you mean by heating effect of current?
The heating effect of current refers to the phenomenon where the flow of electric current through a conductor leads to the production of heat. This occurs due to the resistance offered by the conductor to the flow of electrons. The amount of heat produced is directly proportional to the square of the current and the resistance of the conductor.
Does a good conductor has a high resistance?
No, a good conductor has a low resistance.
Do electric conductors block electricity?
NO! Although its no, every conductor has resistance that blocks little current and dissipates in the form of heat. Its negligible in conductor. Eg: silver has lowest resistance compared to iron
What affects the resistance of an electric conductor?
The material from which the conductor is made, the length of the conductor, the diameter of the conductor and the temperature of the conductor are all things that impact its resistance.
In an electric circuit resistance is?
Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current through a conductor. It is defined as the ratio of the potential difference (volts) between the ends of the conductor to the magnitude of the current (amps) through the conductor.
What is the term used for the hindrance a conductor creates to the flow of electric current?
Resistance is the hindrance a conductor creates to the flow of electric current
If pressure is constant and current increases the resistance?
I assume you meant pressure to voltage. The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the temperature of the conductor. If the temperature of the conductor increases due to increased current, then the resistance tend to increase too.
What is the path that an electrical current travels?
electric current
Why does Resistance decrease in thin wire?
Area of cross section: Resistance R is inversely proportional to the area of cross section ( A) of the conductor. This means R will decrease with increase in the area of conductor and vice versa. More area of conductor facilitates the flow of electric current through more area and thus decreases the resistance. This is the cause that thick copper wire creates less resistance to the electric current.
What is a material that will carry an electric current called?
A material that will carry an electric current is called a conductor. Conductor materials have high electrical conductivity, allowing the flow of electric charges with minimal resistance. Examples of conductors include metals such as copper, aluminum, and silver.
Which resistor is the beat conductor 150 or 600?
We're guessing that you meant to type "best", that you typed "beat" instead, and that you then didn't take the trouble to proofread your own typing. A resistor with a lower resistance is the better conductor. The resistance of a perfect conductor is zero ohms.
Do conductors offer little resistance to the flow of electric current?
Yes- you have suggested a correct working definition for a conductor.
If A conductor has a resistance of 0.8 ohms what will happen to its resistance if the temperature is decreased?
The resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to the resistivity of the conductor. since the resistivity of a conductor is decreases with decrease in temperature hence the resistance.
