The name given by engineers to the ratio of "electrical potential difference" (expressed in volts) to "rate of current flow" (expressed in amperes) is "resistance" (expressed in ohms).
What else can I help you with?
When does the electric current flow?
An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).
What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
When a circuit is closed, meaning there is a complete path for the electric current to flow, the current will flow from the positive terminal of the voltage source through the circuit components and back to the negative terminal. This flow of current allows electrical energy to be transferred and work to be done in the circuit.
An electric what is a pathway for electric current?
A closed circuit.
Closed path where electric current can flow is called a?
I guess Electric Circuit....
What is the movement of electric charges in a closed circuit?
Electric Current
What 3 things do you need to have for electric current?
To have electric current, you need a source of electric potential difference (voltage), a closed circuit that allows the flow of charges, and a conductive material through which the electric charges can move.
What is a closed path through which current can flow?
A closed path through which a current can flow is called a circuit. Electric Circuit:)
What is a electrical curcuit?
An electric circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. Its so simple, though my friend from extraminds help me with proper answer.
What actions causes current in an electric circuit?
Current in an electric circuit is caused by the movement of electric charges, usually electrons, through a conductor. This movement is typically initiated by applying a voltage difference across the circuit, which creates an electric field that pushes the charges. The current flow will continue as long as there is a closed path for the charges to move through.
What is closed path throuth which current can flow?
An electric circuit.
How is an electric current produced and what factors influence its generation?
An electric current is produced when electrons flow through a conductor, such as a wire. Factors that influence the generation of an electric current include the voltage applied, the resistance of the conductor, and the presence of a closed circuit.
Do electric charges flow all the way through on open circuit?
No, nothing flows through an open circuit. If there are two flat plates on either side of the open circuit, facing each other, electric charge builds up on each plate until the plates are at the supply voltage. If the voltage is AC, current will flow all the time as the voltage changes, because the flat plates form a capacitor that can pass AC. But there is no net power.
