What is the energy associated with electric current is called?
Moving electrons possess kinetic energy, but the energy you are referring to is called electricity
How parallel resistors work?
Resistors in parallel work just like highway lanes in parallel. -- The more lanes there are, the more traffic they can carry. -- Any number of lanes in parallel are always wider than the widest single lane, and can carry more traffic than the widest single lane can. "wide lane" = low resistance "narrow lane" = "high resistance" "traffic" = "electric current"
What do you call a material that wont carry an electric current?
An insulator
What matter has the ability to carry an electric current?
An electrical conductor has the ability to carry an electric current. Most of the best conductors are metals such as copper. Water containing ions can also conduct an electric current (which lead-acid batteries rely on)
What is a material that will carry an electric current called?
A material that will carry an electric current is called a conductor. Conductor materials have high electrical conductivity, allowing the flow of electric charges with minimal resistance. Examples of conductors include metals such as copper, aluminum, and silver.
Metals conduct both heat and electricity because?
Free moving electrons can carry both heat and electric currents throughout a system.
Why is 3 phase power advantageous in higher voltage applications?
The 3 phase electric power is very common way of electric power transmission. Three circuit conductors carry three alternating currents the first conductor as reference the other currents are delayed in time for 1/3 and 2/3 of the cycle of the electrical currents.
What do cold currents carry?
Me

Does plastic protect you from electric current?
No, practically all plastic is an insulator. An insulator does not carry any electrical currents. A conductor can carry a current. "What plastics are conductive?", you may ask -- see link below.
Which of the folling can form in the geosphere and carry heat from earth mantle toward the surface conduction currents infared currents convection currents or surface currents?
in the atmosphere.
What type of currents carry cold dense water from the poles toward the equator?
Surface currents
Can currents carry water great distances?
YES, they can.
Does neurons carry electrical currents to and from the brain?
yes
What does not carry electric currents easy?
Materials that don't carry electricity at all are called insulators. Materials that can barely carry electricity are poor conductors. Gold, silver, and copper are among the best conductors. Aluminum is not as good a conductor as copper, but it was used in electrical wiring for years and is still found in places. Carbon is not that good of a conductor, but it has its uses, mostly in carrying signals short distances or for making resistors in electronics. Nickel, chrome and tungsten are poorer conductors, and that is why they are used for producing light and heat.
How does nature play a role in Germany's acid rain problem?
Air currents carry toxic smoke from other countries' factories to Germany
