What else can I help you with?
What is the measurement for the speed at which an electrical current can do work is?
electricity travels at the speed of light +186,000 miles per second
What electrical current flows through electrical home devices?
The electrical current for a home device travels in a circuit.
How fast can electricity travel in one second?
The electrical current (or signal) travels at about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum - that is, it travels at approximately 200,000 km/sec. Note that individual electrons move slower than that.
What is a form of energy that travels from a battery?
chemical energy
The current in electrical wiring has a frequency of 60 Hz. What is its speed?
The speed of a current is about 2/3 the speed of light in a vacuum - in other words, the current travels at a speed of about 200,000 km/sec. This is independent of the frequency.AnswerAlthough the effect of an electric current is felt, more-or-less instantaneously along the length of a conductor, the individual charge carriers move very slowly in the direction of that current. In fact an individual electron is unlikely to travel the length of a flashlight's filament during the lifetime of its battery.
How is electrical force related to speed?
Electrical force is related to speed through the concept of current, which is the flow of electric charge. The speed at which charged particles move in a circuit determines the strength of the electrical force acting on them. Greater speed leads to a stronger electrical force.
What is the speed of electricity?
The speed of an electric current is determined according to v = I/nAQ (average speed equals current divided by the number of charged particles moving, the cross-sectional area of the conductor and the charge of the particles). This basically means that a normal current e.g. the current in a house's wiring travels at about walking pace.
What is the path that an electrical current travels?
electric current
How fast does current travel?
In a typical conductor like copper wire, electrical current travels at near the speed of light, which is about 186,282 miles per second (299,792 kilometers per second). However, the movement of individual electrons within the wire is much slower, typically on the order of millimeters per hour.
How do you calculate ammeters?
An ammeter is an instrument that measures electrical current as it travels through a conduit. Amperes are what the measurements that are are measured aree called.
What will happen if you connect a battery to a small light bulb with a single wire?
Nothing will happen. It requires two wires to complete the circuit. Electrical current travels from the battery terminal through the wire to a metal portion of the base of the lightbulb. The current then travels up through the filament wire which glows as the current travels through. The current then travels back down the other side of the filament wire to the base of the bulb and thus through the second wire back to source, which is the battery.
What is he definition of electrical current?
The current flowing in an electrical circuit.
