"energy of elecrons" - I guess you mean of *electrons*.

Current is the measure of the number of electrons flowing past a point: one amp of current is about 6.2415093×1018 electrons per second

What does the amount of current flowing in each branch of a parallel circuit depend on?

The amount of current flowing in each branch of a parallel circuit depends on the resistance of each branch. The branch with less resistance will have more current flowing through it, while the branch with more resistance will have less current flowing. Each branch acts independently because they provide multiple paths for current to flow.


What happens to the voltage as the number of flowing electrons increases?

Voltage is the potential difference between two points. It is commonly measured by a voltmeter with 2 probes, each one touching the two points. Flowing electrons do not depend on voltage. They depend on the voltage difference between two points. Same as saying a ball does not run along a road merely if the road is at high altitude. Only if the altitude is falling along the road will the ball run in that direction. And the steeper the road, the faster it goes. The currents that flow in a wire is not directly caused by increases in the number of electrons (in a metal, the concentration of electrons is constant at all normal voltages and doesn't vary with current) but how rapidly the voltage changes as you go along the wire ("the electric field", measured in volts per cm). If you force in more flowing electrons from a source connected to it, the volts per cm increases so that the current carries away the supplied flow.


Does the amount of electric current flowing in a conductor depend in part on the pressure under which it flows?

Yes. Pressure being voltage. Voltage divided by resistance equals current.


What is a circuit which will allow flowing current?

As long as an electrical power source is connected to itself with electrical conductors of some kind, then a current will flow through it. How much current will depend on the components used in the circuit.


How the current depend on diameter?

The current flowing through a conductor is influenced by its diameter due to its effect on resistance. A larger diameter reduces resistance, allowing more electrons to flow, resulting in a higher current for a given voltage. According to Ohm's Law (I = V/R), as resistance decreases with increasing diameter, the current (I) increases when voltage (V) is constant. Therefore, wider conductors can carry greater currents more efficiently.


How does the current flowing in a conductor depend on the number of mobile charge carriers per unit length on their average velocity on the charge per carrier?

the flowing in the conductor is related as given by the relation... I=Vena v=drift velocity of electron e=charge on electron n=concentration of electron in the current carrying conductor . a=area


Will a 30 amp breaker protect a 24 Range?

no, because it is depend on its current carrying capacity. eg-if 25amp current flowing in the ckt then 30amp breaker don't protect the ckt but if it is cross the rated capacity then breaker works.


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 does the energy carried by an electric current depend on?

The energy carried by an electric current depends on a conductor in order to flow. an Insulator disrupts the flow


Does e by m value of electrons depend on velocity of electrons?

No


What current will flow through the heating coil when the heater is plugged in?

The current flowing through the heating coil will depend on the resistance of the coil and the voltage of the power source. Using Ohm's Law (I = V/R), where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance, you can calculate the current. The higher the voltage or lower the resistance, the higher the current.


What happens if the current pass through foil?

If an electric current passes through a foil, the foil will heat up due to resistance in the material. The degree of heating will depend on the amount of current flowing through the foil and the resistance of the material. Excessive current through a foil can lead to overheating and potential damage to the foil.
