A W bulb and a W bulb are connected in series in a circuit Which bulb has the greater current flowing in it?
A series circuit is where there is only one path for the current. As a result, and as a direct consequence of Kirchoff's current law, the current at every point in a series circuit is the same. The two bulbs have the same current flowing through them.
What is a passive element in a circuit?
A passive element is an element of the electrical circuit that does not create power, like a capacitor, an inductance, a resistor or a memristor.
Is it true that a resistor raises the voltage across its terminals as current flows through it?
It depends on how you choose to define current and polarity...The normal convention is that current flows from positive to negative, even though that is not true. It is simply a convention, making it easier to analyze a circuit and to not have to deal with negative numbers. In this convention, the terminal of the resistor that current is flowing into will be more positive than the other terminal.The accepted reality is that current flows from negative to positive. In that convention, the terminal of the resistor that current is flowing into will be more negative than the other terminal.It does not really matter which convention you use, so long are you are consistent in the application of the convention and in the treatment of signs.Thank you, so it is not true, right?Another AnswerNo, it is not true. In order for current to pass through a resistor, there must be a potential difference across its ends. The magnitude of the current depends on the value of the potential difference. So a larger current is the result of a larger potential difference, NOT the other way around.The same applies to 'voltage drops'. Voltage drops are not the result of a current passing through resistors in series; voltage drops are necessary for the current to flow through each resistor.
When a 10 ohm resistor is connected in parallel to a 15 ohm resistor what percentage of the total current will flow through the 10 ohm resistor?
There will be 20 amps flowing through the 5 ohm resistor. We could do some math and all to figure voltage drops and some other things, but let's cut to the chase and see what's happening. Based on what we know about series circuits and about parallel circuits, we can shred this in nothing flat. So let's. First, we're told 30 amps flows in the circuit. That's the total current, and it will be the current through the first 10 ohm resistor. It has to be. The the 30 amps "splits" to flow through the parallel network of the 10 ohm and 5 ohm resistors. That's 30 amps that has to "split" and some will go through the 10 ohm resistor and some will go through the 5 ohm resistor. With me? Sure. Now for the "trick" here. Since the 5 ohm resistor has only half the resistance of the 10 ohm resistor, twice as much current will flow through it as the 10 ohm resistor. Make sense? Yup. Let's finish this. Since there is twice as much current flowing in the 5 ohm resistor 'cause it's got half the resistance of the 10 ohm resistor, if we have "x" amount of current flowing in the 10 ohm resistor, then we'll have "2x" amps of current flowing in the 5 ohm resistor. That's "3x" amps total, and the "3x" amps equals 30 amps. See through it now? There will be 10 amps flowing through the 10 ohm resistor, and 20 amps flowing through the 5 ohm resistor. Piece of cake.
How do we usually think of voltage as the cause and currents the effect?
You apply a voltage across a load and the result is that a current flows through the load. So you must have the voltage present, the cause, before current flow, the effect. Think of voltage as pressure and current as flow.
What types of burns are the result of current flowing through and exiting the body?
electrical burns
What type of burns are a result of current flowing through and exiting a body?
Electrical burns
What happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing?
Several things happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing. The electrodes conduct the electrical current and makes the circuit complete.
If the resistance of an electric current is 12 ohms and the voltage in the current is 60 V the current flowing through the circuit is?
..using the formula Voltage(V)=Current(I) * Resistance(R) .. we can get the result ...current will be 5 Ampere

How transformer output connections get burn?
Poor connections could result in arcing; the transformer could be overloaded as well, resulting in more current flowing through them than designed.
What is the meaning of IR of voltage?
In Ohm's Law, E stands for voltage, I stands for current (amps), and R stands for resistance. Ohm's Law states: E = IR or voltage equals current times resistance. This means that current flowing through a wire (that has resistance) produces a voltage drop in the wire. Since the voltage drop is the result of current flowing through a resistance, old-school engineers will sometimes refer to it as "IR drop". So, since E = IR, saying "IR" is the same as saying "voltage".
Earth is a what kind of magnet?
Apparently an electromagnet, if that's what you mean, since the current is believed to be the result of currents flowing in Earth's interior.
What kind of density current is caused by muddy rapidly flowing mixture of sediment and water?
A turbidity current is a density current that occurs when mud or silt mixes with seawater. This is the result of the increase in the density of the water itself.
What is a passive element in a circuit?
A passive element is an element of the electrical circuit that does not create power, like a capacitor, an inductance, a resistor or a memristor.
How do you know how much amp you have in your battery?
this problem can be fixed by refferring to mannual of that battery and also can calculated by another way use a load 10 watt on your battery and measure the current flowing through it and note the current time after that when your battery discharge multiply the measured current from hour(during discharge period). this result is your amp-h rating of battery.
Why would a fuse blow in a 12 volt negative ground radio?
The fuse would most likely blow as a result of current flowing through it in excess of the current that the fuse is rated for. In general, there are two things that could cause this: Most likely, either the fuse installed was rated for less current than the radio uses in normal operation, or else a fault in the radio caused more current than usual to flow through the fuse.
