What safety device ensures that electricity will flow through it when flowing downhill instead if through people?
Ground wires
Why does a person wear rubber gloves while handling electric wires?
To prevent being shocked. Rubber is an insulator, and keeps electricity from flowing from the wire to you.
What is the name of flowing water that cuts valleys and forms cannons?
river?
What are the dangers of using coal in generating electricity?
Electricity is most often generated at a power station by electromagnetically generators, primarily driven by heat engines fueled by chemical combustion or nuclear fission but also by other means such as the kinetic energy of flowing water and wind. So if the electromagnetically generators were to mix with the kinetic energy of the flowing water there will be so many bad damages if you were near the reaction.
What is the difference between static electricity and moving electricity?
Static electricity, such as might build up in your carpet, can best be described as voltage. "moving" electricity is current, which is measured in Amps. I'll skip the math and Ohm's law, and try to give a conceptual answer. If you think of an electric circuit as being a set of water pipes in which the electricity is the water, then voltage is the water pressure and amperage is the rate at which the water is flowing. If the water is flowing through a pipe that does not restrict it, then the amount of water flowing is directly proportional to the water pressure. however, if the pipe resists the movement of the water, then the water flow slows down and the water pressure increases. Conversely, if the pipe exhibits less resistance, then the water pressure drops again and the water flow increases. This analogy gives a basic idea of the difference between static and moving electricity, but it is overly simplified and skips some important concepts. If you've taken physics, you can also think of voltage as being potential energy, current as being kinetic, and resistance as being friction.
Do you need an insulator to keep electricity flowing?
An insulator prevents electricity from flowing.
Electricity that is not flowing?
. . is called static electricity.
What controls the flowing of electricity?
The flowing of electricity (amperage) is governed by the internal resistance of the connected device.
Electricity not flowing is called?
Static
How do you prevent electricity?
Your question is unclear. To prevent electricity flowing you open the circuit. This can be done by disconnecting it from the source by a switch, for example. An insulator will also prevent electricity flowing.
Does electricity get used up when flowing in a circuit?
The free electrons flowing in the circuit decrease.
What is Hydroelecticity?
Electricity that comes from flowing water
Electricity produced by flowing water is called?
hydroelectricity
What is called electricity pruductid by flowing water?
Hydroelectricity.
How does hydroeletric generate electricity?
Falling or flowing water turns a turbine generator, which generates electricity.
How wind and flowing water can be used to produce electricity?
By spinning turbines witch generates electricity
How is static electricity formed?
by all the electrons flowing through it
