What is kill by means of an electric current?
Please re-ask your question so that it is more clear what you want to know.
If you could see current what would AC current physically look like?
Of course, since you can't see current, any answer would be imaginary. How about this one: Electrical current consists of charged particles (electrons) flowing through a conductor, such as a wire. AC current alternates, or changes direction, several times a second. We need some particles. Let's use sand. For our conductor, how about a length of clear plastic pipe (clear so we can see what's happening). Put some of the electrons (sand) in the wire (pipe). Shake the pipe back and forth, back and forth, etc. so the sand travels one way, then the other. That makes you the generator! If you watch the middle of the pipe, you see the particles flow first one way, then the other. Voila! AC current flow.
What does a current flow of electrons need?
Your question is not clear. A current is generated when a group of electrons flow through a conductor, and this happens when there is a potential difference between the 2 ends of the conductor. If you want to know how can we start the flow of electrons it is by creating a potential difference in between the 2 ends of the conductor.
What happens when you use a smaller resistor in place of larger one?
as we can deduce from its name, the resistor "resists" to the current (the movement of the electrons) so as the value of the resistor increases, the current flowing through it decreases. so when you use a smaller resistor, the current increases, however the tension between its poles decreases ( due to the voltage divider law). remember that the shortcircuit is due to the small value of the current , so we need always to have a resonable resistance on the circuit..... but not too high because joule losses we'll be more significant !! hope i've been clear :D
Why can light pass through clear objects?
"Clear" objects are named "clear" because light can pass through them. If light could not pass through them, they would not be labeled "clear".
The driving force for turbidity currents is?
The driving force of a turbidity current is obtained from the sediment, which renders the turbid water heavier than the clear water above.Turbiditycurrents are an example of density or Gravity_current
Which water quality indicator can be determend by measuring how clear or cloudy a water simple is?
Clarity or turbidity
What is a measure of how clear water is in a water system?
This is 'turbidity' and is measured in 'ppm' when you have a water sample analysed in a lab.
What is the name of the gelatinous coat that surrounds an ovum?
The name of the membrane that surrounds the yolk of an egg is the viteline membrane. This membrane is clear in color.
Is clear cut logging polluting rivers?
Clear-cut logging, as with any logging, can speed up soil erosion, which can increase the turbidity of water and, in large quantities, can impact the river's depth and flow.
Fluid that surrounds the baby in the uterus?
Amniotic fluid Is a clear, slightly yellowish liquid that surrounds the unborn baby during pregnancy.
What does it mean when water has low turbidity?
turbulent flow- is when a fluid say in a stream becomes non-streamline, water currents stop being parallel and begin to move in random directions this makes it so sediments are eroded faster and stay suspended longer a turbidity current- is a kind of density current (it is denser than the surrounding water due to the suspended sediments) the moves down slope along the bottom of a body of water (ocean or lake) generally generated by short term catastrophic events (land slides, earthquakes, volcanoes,) a turbidite- is a sedimentary structure made by a turbidity current: there are two kinds high-density currents (lots of sediments greater than about 25% grains) which form think turbidite successions of sand and gravel (these are poorly graded and generally poorly sorted); and low-density flows tend to present the Bouma sequence in defined beds and laminations didn't sign in for the first time...
What do you do if your in a rip current?
Swim parallel to the ocean shore until clear of the current
What are signs of growth in liquid medium?
THE PRESENCE OF A GREEN SLIME OR THE GROWTH OF ALGEA. Onother view: If talking about liquid broth medium in laboratory then it can be estimated by the increase in turbidity which is caused by increase in number of microbial cell and we can observe it by spectroscopy.
What is a good turbidity level?
A turbidity reading of 0-10 JTU or NTU is considered normal. A Secchi depth less of less than 1 meter indicates a high concentration of suspended solids.Background Information Turbidity refers to how clear or how cloudy the water is. Clear water has a low turbidity level and cloudy or muddy water has a high turbidity level. High levels of turbidity can be caused by suspended particles in the water such as soil, sediments, sewage, and plankton. Soil can get in the water by erosion or runoff from nearby lands. Sediments can be stirred up by too much activity in the water, either by fish or humans. Sewage is a result of waste discharge and high levels of plankton may be due to excessive nutrients in the water.If the turbidity of the water is high, there will be many suspended particles in it. These solid particles will block sunlight and prevent aquatic plants from getting the sunlight they need for photosynthesis. The plants will produce less oxygen thereby decreasing the DO levels. The plants will die more easily and be decomposed by bacteria in the water, which will reduce the DO levels even further.Suspended particles in the water also absorb additional heat from sunlight which will result in warmer water. Warm water is not able to hold as much oxygen as cold water so DO levels will decrease, especially near the surface.Suspended particles are also destructive to many aquatic organisms. They can clog the gills of fish and interfere with their ability to find food. They can also bury bottom dwelling creatures and eggs. Suspended particles can transport pollutants through the water.
How do you use and adjective in a sentence using the word current?
That house was peculiarly current and modern. Hope that makes it clear -oscar
Why do you have clear blood and not red?
Your blood appears blue as it flows through your veins beneath your skin, and turns red in the presence of oxygen, like when you cut yourself. The clear part of the blood is plasma, and is invisible until it is separated out.
