How does loading effect affect flow of current?
Ohm's Law says that Voltage = Current x Resistance (Load). Therefore Current = Voltage / Resistance and as resistance decreases current increases and as resistance increases current decreases.
Does resistance depend upon current?
The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
The opposition to the flow of electrons through a conductor?
In the simplest case, that would be resistance - but there is also another type of opposition (only relevant for AC) called reactance. The combined effect of resistance and reactance is called impedance.
What happens to current flow when the resistance is higher than normal?
For a specific voltage, current flow is inversely proportional to resistance.
Does resistance flow through a circuit?
No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.
What effect does heat have on electric current flow?
It increases resistance.
How does resistance effect the flow of current in a wire?
Current is inversely proportional to the resistance of the circuit. Resistance goes up, current goes down. Resistance goes down, current goes up.
How does loading effect affect flow of current?
Ohm's Law says that Voltage = Current x Resistance (Load). Therefore Current = Voltage / Resistance and as resistance decreases current increases and as resistance increases current decreases.
Does resistance depend upon current?
The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
What effect does decreased resistance have on a circuit?
resistance is the opposition to the flow of an electric current, therefore the current will decrease as the resistance increases. Resistance also creates heat. This is how the light globes in a circuit light up.
How can an ammeter be connected in a circuit and not effect the flow of current?
The ammeter does affect the flow of current in a circuit, however, the resistance of the ammeter is so small in comparison to the circuit that the effect is negligible. It is connected in series.
The opposition to the flow of electrons through a conductor?
In the simplest case, that would be resistance - but there is also another type of opposition (only relevant for AC) called reactance. The combined effect of resistance and reactance is called impedance.
Why must you make current flow through the meter in order to measure it?
You don't. ...unless you want to directly measure the current in a circuit branch. That's the purpose of an ammeter. You can also use a volt meter if you know the resistance of a resistor in that branch to determine current (assuming DC circuit here) - current = voltage / resistance. This may be more useful for circuitry that is on a breadboard, since inserting an ammeter may not be practical.
How will you describe the graph of resistance against current?
If resistance is high that time the current flow is low. Bcoz current always flow through the low resistance path.
What do you mean by heating effect of current?
The heating effect of current refers to the phenomenon where the flow of electric current through a conductor leads to the production of heat. This occurs due to the resistance offered by the conductor to the flow of electrons. The amount of heat produced is directly proportional to the square of the current and the resistance of the conductor.
What happens to current flow when the resistance is higher than normal?
For a specific voltage, current flow is inversely proportional to resistance.
Does resistance flow through a circuit?
No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.
