What happens in a current when the resistance goes up?
It causes the electricity flow faster,which in term increases the electrical flow.CommentChanging a circuit's resistance doesn't cause 'electricity' to flow faster -or slower, come to that! First of all, 'electricity' isn't a quantity, so it cannot be measured, and it doesn't flow! If, by 'electricity', you mean 'current', well that isn't made to 'flow faster' either.If the supply voltage is constant, then increasing a circuit's resistance causes the magnitude of current to fall. This has nothing to do with its 'speed'!
When does electricity flow?
When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.
A photovoltaic cell or solar cell is used to convert solar energy to?
electricity CURRENT FLOW INTO A LOAD. Without a load that is just voltage sitting there.
The flow of electricity can be compared to the circulation of water in a?
A pipe. The volume of water available can be compared to voltage. The diameter of pipe could be compared to resistance with smaller diameter being larger resistance and the flow of water past a point in pipe is equivalent to current flow.
Will the electricity stop getting through the wires ina electric circuit if there is a knot in the wires?
Absolutely not. Electricity is actually the flow of electrons (or more conventially flow of positive kernels in a direction opposite to that of electrons), and no matter how tangled the knot is electrons will find their way. However, this question could get more debatable had it specified a certain value of potential difference across the conductor; as the equation goes electron mobility greatly increases with rise in voltage. And what would completely stop the electricity is a break in the wire. Then again this depends on the voltage too.
What does the voltage of a battery tell you?
the flow of electricity
What is voltage potential and how does it affect the flow of electricity in a circuit?
Voltage potential is the force that pushes electric charges through a circuit. It is measured in volts. Higher voltage potential means more force pushing the charges, which increases the flow of electricity in the circuit. Conversely, lower voltage potential results in slower flow of electricity.
What does voltage cause the flow of?
there is a difference in electrical potential energy.
What are the three elements of electricity?
The three basic elements of electricity are voltage, current, and resistance. Voltage is the force or pressure that drives the electrical current. Current is the flow of electric charge. Resistance is the opposition to the flow of electric current.
What does the term voltage and current mean?
Voltage -the rate at which energy is drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit; expressed in voltsCurrent - a flow of electricity through a conductor; "the current was measured in amperes"
What kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electricity?
Current electricity is the kind of electricity that is caused by a continuous flow of electricity. In order for this to happen there must be a voltage present across a conductor, for example in overhead power lines.
How much electricity can flow through a series circuit?
it depends on the battery voltage
How does a resistor affect the flow of electricity in a circuit: does a resistor reduce voltage or current?
A resistor affects the flow of electricity in a circuit by reducing the current that flows through it. This reduction in current leads to a decrease in voltage across the resistor.
Can electricity flow in gases?
lighting and the tesla coil flow in gass High voltage will flow thru anything, including air.
How are the different parts of electricity distinguished from one another?
The different parts of electricity are distinguished from one another based on their properties and functions. These parts include voltage, current, and resistance. Voltage is the force that pushes electricity through a circuit, current is the flow of electricity, and resistance is the opposition to the flow of electricity. By understanding these distinctions, we can better control and utilize electricity in various applications.
What is the force that pushes electricity around a circuit called?
The force that pushes electricity around a circuit is called voltage. Voltage is the potential difference between two points in a circuit, which causes the electric charges to flow from higher voltage to lower voltage.
Can electricity flow through air?
Yes, electricity can flow through air if the voltage is high enough to ionize the air and create a conductive path. This is known as electrical arcing and can occur during lightning strikes or in high-voltage transmission lines.
