What is the measure of how much a material opposes the flow of currenet called?
resistance
CAN WATER DECREASE A SUBSTANCE'S RESISTANCE TO FLOW OF ELECTRICITY?
no
What does insulator mean in a scientific way?
It means a substance that does not conduct electricity (does not allow electricity to flow through it).
What property causes wires and coils to become hot when electricity flows through them?
Yes, so electricity simply flow through them.Most Wires and Coils have resistance. This resistance opposes the flow of Current. This opposition creates Heat.
Can Water can decrease a substance resistance to the flow of electricity?
Reduce the temperature of the conductor.
What is the measure of how much a material opposes the flow of currenet called?
resistance
What is flow of electricity through substance?
Current.
What is the opposite of conductor of electricity?
The opposite of a conductor (conducts electric flow) is a non-conductor, or something that opposes the flow, which would be an insulator.
CAN WATER DECREASE A SUBSTANCE'S RESISTANCE TO FLOW OF ELECTRICITY?
no
What is the scientific name of a substance that lets electricity flow through it?
A substance that lets electricity flow through it is called a conductor (or sometimes, to be more explicit, it is called an electrical conductor). Substances which do not permit the flow of electricity are called insulators.
what does resistor mean in science?
In electronics/electricity, it's a component or part of a circuit that opposes/reduces the flow of current.
A substance that does not allow for othe flow of electricity is referred to as a?
An electrical insulator.
Why might you want to use a material with high resistance?
High Resistance Opposes the flow of Electricity that results into production of Heat and Light.
What does insulator mean in a scientific way?
It means a substance that does not conduct electricity (does not allow electricity to flow through it).
What does a flowmeter measure?
A flowmeter is an instrument that is used to designed the rate of flow for a liquid or a substance such as a gas. The measure of the substance is by the volume of its weight. A flow meter can measure many substances that otherwise would not be measurable.
What property causes wires and coils to become hot when electricity flows through them?
Yes, so electricity simply flow through them.Most Wires and Coils have resistance. This resistance opposes the flow of Current. This opposition creates Heat.
Can Water can decrease a substance resistance to the flow of electricity?
Reduce the temperature of the conductor.
