Does lightning travel through ice?
yes its because when water is frozen the mobility of the movement of the electrons within the ice is significantly reduced.as the icy lattice structure of the ice cube forms,the electrons become rigid, and unmoving and their ability to conduct electricity is reduced.
Is some electricity more efficient than others?
Since electricity is energy, it has only one type. Therefore, some electricity cannot be more efficient than others because all electricity is the same. However, some devices use that same electricity more efficiently than others.
Is the speed of travel of electricity in a conductor less than or equal to the speed of light?
Nothing is faster than the speed of light.
Is using a microwave more conservative on electricity than a stove?
By a long distance, using a microwave is more conservative on electricity than by using resistive heating that a stove utilizes.
What is a source of electricity with more than one cell?
a battery
When electricity has more than one path to travel to circuit is called?
branches
A parallel circuit is:?
A circuit in which electricity has more than 1 path to flow.
Does lightning travel through ice?
yes its because when water is frozen the mobility of the movement of the electrons within the ice is significantly reduced.as the icy lattice structure of the ice cube forms,the electrons become rigid, and unmoving and their ability to conduct electricity is reduced.
When electricity takes the easy path what type of circuit is involved?
Electricity takes the path of least resistance. When the electricity travels outside of the circuit, rather than through it, it is called a short circuit.
Occurs when electricity takes a new path that is shorter than normal?
When electricity takes a new path that is shorter than normal or in the electrical trade it is know as, current taking the path of least resistance, it is known as a short circuit.
Does electricity follow the longest path?
no. electricity seeks the shortest path with the lowest resistance. An example will be lightning. A tall building offers a lower resistance than air or even moist air in a storm. Hence, the lightning strikes the tall building more likely than it hits the ground surrounding the tall building.
How Does Electricity Travel Round A Circuit?
H20 is actually a very poor conductor of electricity. Every day water(such as that you get from a tap ) contains more than h20. There are tons of microscopic impurities which are what actually conducts the electricity
How many kilometers can a tornado travel?
It varies. A typical tornado might travel about 5 kilometers. However, many tornadoes have path lengths of less than a kilometer. In rare cases a tornado may have a path lengths of 200 kilometers or more. The longest path ever recorded for a tornado was 352 kilometers.
What type of circut has more than 1 path for current?
A parallel circuit has more than one path.
Does a tornado travel long distances?
Not usually. The median tornado path length is about 1 mile, and only a small percentage travel more than 20 miles. However, a number of tornadoes have been recorded with path lengths well over 100 miles.
What re the advantages of sea transport?
Direct path from starting point to destination makes it more beneficial then land travel, and a mechanical failure will not likely be fatal, making it safer than air travel.
Why does density make it difficult for electricity to pass through?
Electricity takes the path of least resistance. Conductivity of a material has a larger impact than density does.
