What is a temporary source of electric current?
A battery is a common temporary source of electric current. When connected to a circuit, a battery transforms stored chemical energy into electrical energy to power devices or equipment. Once the stored energy is depleted, the battery needs to be recharged or replaced to continue providing electric current.
Can a electric current affect a compass?
Yes. An electric current is surrounded by a magnetic field, and this will affect a compass. Please note that this is more noticeable in the case of DC - for AC, the current changes all the time, it changes very quickly, and the AVERAGE value of the magnetic field is zero.
What does an electric circuit provide for the flow of electric current?
It doesn't necessarily have a 'function'; it is simply the natural consequence of applying a potential difference across a conductor. However, this is usually done for a reason, and its function is then derived from one or other of the three effects of that current:heating effect -e.g. electric heatersmagnetic effect -e.g. electric motorschemical effect -e.g. electrolysis (electroplating)
What material will allow electricity to flow between the battery and the light bulb?
A metal wire is typically used to allow electricity to flow between the battery and the light bulb. Metals are good conductors of electricity due to their free-flowing electrons that can carry electric charges. The wire completes the circuit, allowing the electric current to travel from the battery to the light bulb, providing power for it to illuminate.
How you could use a wire and a battery to create a manetic field?
Any current will produce a magnetic field. If you let a current pass through the wire, you got your magnetic field.Note: If you connect the wire directly to the battery, without any resistance, you'll most likely destroy the battery, due to a short circuit.
What type of current is produced in a electric battery?
Direct current (DC) is produced by an electric battery. This type of current flows consistently in one direction from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of the battery.
What is current in the battery called?
A battery contains a charge of electrons. When these electrons leave the battery and travel through a circuit that is described as current.
A temporary source of electric current?
A battery.
What particles create the electric current in a fruit battery?
An electric current is movement of electrons, no matter the source or cause.
Is arc welding an example of electric current?
No, an example of an electric current would be using a battery to light a lightbulb.
What is the current through the battery?
The current through the battery is the flow of electric charge, measured in amperes (A), that is being supplied by the battery at a given moment.
Why does connecting an electric device to a battery produces a current?
When an electric device is connected to a battery, an electric current is produced due to the difference in potential between the positive and negative terminals of the battery. This potential difference, also known as voltage, creates an electrical force that pushes the flow of electric charge (current) through the circuit and powers the device.
What does the electric battery do?
If there is a full circuit, it will send current around it.
When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
What is a temporary source of electric current?
A battery is a common temporary source of electric current. When connected to a circuit, a battery transforms stored chemical energy into electrical energy to power devices or equipment. Once the stored energy is depleted, the battery needs to be recharged or replaced to continue providing electric current.
Where does electricity get energy?
An electric current HAS energy. The energy comes from whatever caused the electric current to flow in the first place - for example, a generator, or a battery.
What part of an electrical cicuit produces the electric current?
Either the cell e.g. a battery, if one is included in the circuit. Or a generator such as a dynamo
