What volts ohm ampere and watts are terms associated with this?
ohm is used to measure resistance of electric current. Ampere is used to measure electric current. volt is used to measure voltage.
Why is current is called 'I'?
The symbol "I " was used by André-Marie Ampère, after whom the unit of electric current is named and stands for "intensité de courant": Current Intensity.
What part of a circuit is the wire cable or switch?
Wire is the transition material used to carry the electric current; the switch is the controller of that current.
What is current how it is measured?
An electric current (symbol: I) is a very slow drift of charge carriers (electrons, in metallic conductors), and is measured in amperes (symbol: A). An ampere is defined in terms of the 'magnetic effect' of an electric current, that is the force of attraction or repulsion between two, parallel, conductors due to the interaction of their magnetic fields. An instrument used to measure electric current is called an 'ammeter'.
What is a sentence with the word electric current in it?
The electric light bulb would not turn on because it was burnt out.
How is electrolysis of water used?
Electrolysis, passing an electric current, through water separates the water into its elements: oxygen and hydrogen. When Direct Current (DC) is used, oxygen precipitates (comes out of) the water at the positive electrode and hydrogen precipitates at the negative electrode.
What is used to separate hydrogen and oxygen?
Electrolysis, the passing of electric current through water will separate the water into oxygen and hydrogen molecules.
What is the name of the process for splitting apart compounds using electricity?
It is electrolysis becouse its a chemical reaction in which an electrical current is used to decompose a compound
What can coulometry be used for?
used for the measurement of quantity of electric charge produced during electrolysis
Why ac current is used in conductometric titration?
Because if DC is used, solution undergoes electrolysis and the products of electrolysis set up a back emf which opposes the flow of current -s
Why electrolysis is used to produce copper metal for electrical wiring?
Electrolysis is used in the production of copper metal, because the electric current is used to refine the copper and remove any impurities, without melting the ore, which uses a lot more energy.
What are two important factors which control the process of electrolysis?
well two factors that affects electrolytic processes are, Quantity of electric current passed through the electrolyte and the nature of electrodes being used.
What is the electronlysis of water?
Water electrolysis is a decomposition of water into a hydrogen and oxygen gas. This usually occurs when an electric current passes through water.
What kind of electricity supply is used for electrolysis?
It must be direct current for electrolysis.
How is electrolysis used to separate salt water?
Its the chlorine and bromine (or the halogens) that make the seawater salty. Basically, electrolysis is used to separate seawater from chlorine. This is used by passing an electric current through a solution of sodium chloride (salt) in water. The solution conducts electricity because sodium chloride is an ionic compound. So then there is a reaction and it gets separated.Its short but hope this helped.
How was barium found?
Barium was discovered in 1808 by Sir Humphrey Davy when he used a technique later to be called electrolysis. The first time Day produced barium, he did it by having an electric current pass through molten barium hydroxide.
What can electrolysis be used to do?
Electrolysis can be used to decompose chemical compounds.
