What else can I help you with?
Electric current is sometimes incorrectly defined as simply a flow of electrons What is wrong with this definition?
Electric current is the rate of flow of electrons.AnswerA more accurate definition of electric current would be that it is a flow of electric charges. While current flow in a metallic conductor is, indeed, a flow of electrons, in other conductors -such as electrolytes- current flow may be a movement of ions. So, it would be more accurate to define current in terms of charge flow, rather than in terms of electron flow.
What is the flow of electricity through a wire?
In electrical terms it is known as current and it is expressed in the value of amperage.
What is the current in electrical terms?
Current, in electrical terms, refers to the flow of electric charge through a conductor. It is measured in amperes (A) and represents the rate at which electric charge moves through a circuit.
Why does the diameter of a wire affect its resistance in terms of current being a flow of electrons?
Because its bigger, so more electrons can flow through
In electrical terms what is another word for amperage flow?
It is normally called the electric current, measured in amps.
What is resistance and how is it defined in electrical terms?
Resistance is the measure of how much a material or component opposes the flow of electric current. In electrical terms, resistance is defined as the ratio of voltage to current in a circuit, measured in ohms.
Advantage of using connecting resistors series in terms of current and voltage?
if resistors connected in series the resistance will increase.Then it limit the flow of current through it. voltage may be increased. A: by connecting any resistors in series it will limit the current flow it will effect the current but never the voltage applied
What opposes the flow of an electric currents?
Resistance in OMS: In alternating current is is measured in impedance.
What is the definition of impedance in physics and how does it relate to the flow of current in an electrical circuit?
Impedance in physics refers to the measure of opposition to the flow of alternating current in an electrical circuit. It includes both resistance and reactance. In simple terms, impedance determines how much a circuit resists the flow of current, affecting the overall behavior of the circuit.
From where do the moving electrons in an electromagnet come?
The moving electrons in an electromagnet come from the flow of electric current through a wire or coil.
What is meant by electric current when defined in terms of the electron theory?
Electric current, in terms of the electron theory, is defined as the flow of electrons through a conductor due to the movement of negatively charged particles. It is the rate of flow of charge per unit time, typically measured in amperes. The flow of electrons creates a potential difference, causing them to move from a higher potential to a lower potential.
What are the advantages of co-current flow?
A Counter-current flow has more advantages as comapared to a co-current flow.
