What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What causes a current in an electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
Who is resposible voltage or current for electric shock?
It is impossible to separate the two. The voltage determines the magnitude of the current, and the current causes the damage. So, they are both responsible for electric shock.
What does an increase in voltage cause in an electric circuit?
It causes a proportional increase in current.
What causes the axle to spin in an electric motor?
Switching the field voltage to the coils forces the magnets to move.
What makes an electric cuchi?
An electric current relies on several things. First, there must be a continuous connection of conductors. Then there must be a voltage or a potential difference between two parts of a circuit. It is the voltage that causes electrons to move, so generating an electric current. The amount of current depends on both the voltage and the resistance of the circuit. The higher the voltage, the greater the current. The higher the resistance, the lower the current will be.
What causes the flow of electric current?
Electromotive force (potential difference, voltage) between two points of a conductor.
What is the driving force which causes electrons to flow through conductors called?
That force is called an 'electric current'.
Why is there no flow of electric current?
There are two possible causes: 1. The circuit has no Voltage applied to it. 2. The resistance of the circuit is INFINITE.
What causes electrons to move through a wire as a current?
A voltage, which is related to a change in an electric field.
What is the force that causes electrons to move in a conductor?
A charge is transferred (coulombs) and this amounts to an electric current (amps)
If current increases and resistance increases what would cause this?
The only way current can increase while resistance in a circuit increases is if voltage, which is the force that causes electric current, increases.
