The unit for the amount of electric charge is the coulomb.The amount of charge that passes any particular place in one second is called the "current"; the unit is the ampère.

If an electric current is flowing through a parallel circuit which units tell you about the amount of electrons traveling in the circuit?

It makes no difference whether the circuit is parallel, series or complex. The number of electrons travelling (or oscillating back and forth for AC) is determined by the current (amps). 1 amp = 1 coulomb/second. 1 coulomb = the charge represented by 6.24150962915265 x 1018 electrons. The current in each leg of a parallel circuit has to be worked out separately.


How do you tell what the frequency of a traveling wave tube?

The frequency of a traveling wave tube can be determined by either the input frequency of the RF signal being amplified or by the resonant frequency of the circuit within the tube. The frequency response of the tube can vary depending on its design and operating conditions.


How does current travel in a series circuit?

Current in a series circuit travels in one path. This is because a series circuit is only one path. current in a series circuit stays the same thoughout the circuit this means that if in the beginning of the circuit there are 2 amps of current there will be the same ammount of current in the middle and in the end of it. if you don't understand this please tell me and ill explain in a better way.


What is difference between amp and joule?

Amps (A) measure the flow of electric current, while joules (J) measure energy. Amps represent the rate of electron flow in a circuit, while joules represent the amount of energy transferred or used. In simple terms, amps tell you how many electrons are moving, while joules tell you how much work those moving electrons can do.

Does siries circuit have to have two bulb?

You need at least two components in your circuit before you can tell whether it's a series circuit or a parallel one.


What does the ( ) or (-) oxidation number tell you about an ion?
