How many types of electric current are there ?
Are you talking about AC vs. DC ? The car's battery supplies DC, just as all batteries do.
The DC from the battery is used to turn a small but powerful DC motor, and to
energize a solenoid that pulls the powerful motor into contact with a mating gear
on the engine, enabling it to crank the engine in hopes that the engine may kick in
and begin to run on its own. The DC current that the battery supplies while the
little "starter" motor is cranking the engine is quite considerable, and may range
upwards of 100 amperes!

What type of circuit cannot conduct an electric current?
An open circuit.
What type of current flows through an electric current?
Current is the flow of electrons. This could be DC (direct current like what you find in a battery) or AC (alternating current, what you find in a regular plug for example). Current is measured in Amperes or amps. And if you have the unfortunate chance of being shocked, amps are what could actually harm you or kill you.
What is an elecrical current?
Electric current is the flow of charge from one place to another. Charge is carried by electrons, so current can be defined as the number of electrons per second that pass through a given area.
When a substance is decomposed by an electric current what type of reaction does it have?
This is electrolysis of a molten compound.
What type of magnetic field will produce an electric current in a wire?
A current carrying wire has a magnetic field around it but no electric field.There will be electric field around a body only if it has static electricity.In this wire, charges(electrons) are moving.The number of charges entering is equal to number of charges leaving the conductor.So it remains neutral.A neutral body cannot have an electric field around it. ACTUALLY, there IS also an electric field. A current is made up of moving charges, and all charges (moving or static) create an electric field. Materials that have a neutral charge are not good conductors and therefore would not have a current going through them in the first place.
Which type of electric current is used to start your car?
DC aka direct current
What type of electric current changes direction?
AC current (alternating current) like in a wall outlet
What type of magnet has an iron core and electric current?
an electromagnet
What type of electric current is used in household?
Alternating electrical current is usually used in household.
Which animal does not react to current shock?
Type your answer here... electric eel
What type of circuit cannot conduct an electric current?
An open circuit.
What is the meaning of fuelcell?
it is a type of electro chemical cell that is able to fuel into electric current , it is able to do it through reaction between oxidized particles and electric current
What type of fields are created by an arrangement of electric charges or a current?
Magnetic fields can be created by charges or the flow of current.
What type of electricity is used for an electric iron?
Electricity having AC current.
What type of electric current is produced by fuel cells and solar cells?
ac
What is the type of energy occurring when negative particles flow through a circuit?
Electric current
What quantity measures the galvonometer?
A galvanometer is a type of ammeter: An instrument for detecting and measuring electric current.
