It depends on many factors.!! Mainly it depends upon the type of the conductor. i.e., How many valance electron is there in the conductor. As many as valance electrons as much current flows through the conductor. Length of the material should be less as much as possible and the Area (i.e., Cross section) should be increased. So the conductivity will obviously increased. By sticking in to the basics Resistance of the material should be very low. For an Ideal superconductor the resistance is ZERO as we all know. So more current flows through the conductor.

When there is too much current flowing in a conductor more than its ampacity, it is overcurrent or overloading resulting to overheating of conductor till it get burned.

How much current flows through a resistor with zero potential difference?

No current flows when the the voltage is zero.


How much amount of heat will be produced when one amphere current flows through a conductor?

you need more information my way. you use 2 formula v=ir and p=i*i*r. i=current r=resistance v=voltage and p=power (heat given out)


What is a feed through capacitor?

A feed through capacitor is a type of capacitor (if you don't know how a capacitor works, look this up before going on) for bypassing RF voltage frequencies to ground of a transmitters chassis. It is built by putting a dielectric around a conductor and encasing it in a metallic tube.. so that the conductor is one plate and the outer tube is the second plate. They are shown in a schematic diagram by a straight line and a half moon to the side much like standard capacitor with the exceptions there are three connections. Two for the conductor plate and usually one for the outer shield. The higher frequencies that travel down the conductor plate 'pass through' (no current flows through the dielectric of a capacitor, unless it is leakage current or breakdown current) the dielectric to the outer case (typically grounded), while the lower frequencies (and DC) continue on through the conductor. So, in effect, what a bypass capacitor does is pass the DC current through it while bypassing the AC to ground of the chassis. The value of the capacitor will determine the capacitive reactance and what frequencies will pass more freely to ground.


How much current is present when one coloumb of charge passes through a conductor in one minute?

Since current in amperes is defined as one coulomb per second, then passing one coulomb through a conductor in one minute consitututes a current of one sixtieth of an ampere, or 16 2/3 milliamperes.


How much current flows through a resistor of 285 ohms if the potential difference across the resistor is 122 volts?

Use Ohm's Law, i.e., V=IR here, V=voltage I=current R=resistance

What unit tells how much electric current flows through a wire?

An ampere is the unit of measure of the rate of electronflow or current flowing through a wire or other conductor. Ampere is often shortened to "amp". Technically one amp is the flow of one coulomb of electrical charge moving past a pointing one second.


How much current flows through a circuit if 2 coulombs of charge flows each second?

Current in amperes is coulombs per second, so 2 coulombs per second is 2 amperes.


When too much current flows through a wire it can cause?

the wire will burn red hot or desinigrate instantly
