What does a inductive ammeter do?
It measures current by creating a coil around the current carrying wire. Current flowing in the wire induces a current in the amp-meter proportional to the current flowing in the wire.
What is phase current?
A phase current is the current passing through a phase, whereas a line current is the current flowing through a line.
What does the term closed circuit mean relative to electricity?
Closed circuit means circuit is complete without any break in between and current is flowing if there is any source.
In a parallel in a electrical curcuit what happens when the current reachs a fork?
The current divides itself according to the resistance of each fork. If the resistance is equal, half the total current flows in each leg. The current flowing into the fork always equals the total current flowing into each of the legs.
A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?
A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.
What is a downward flowing air current?
A current of air with its velocity directed downwards or in a direction below the horizontal. Mathematically v.n < 0 where v is the velocity vector and n is the upward normal at the surface.
What is the Ammount of current flowing?
The measurement of how fast the current is flowing is the Ampere.
What is an upward moving current of air?
An upward moving current of air is called an updraft.
Is conventional current noun?
The term 'conventional current' is a singular, common, compound noun; a word for current flowing from positive to negative as opposed to electron flow where current flow is from negative to positive.
What is the name of flowing electricity?
Flowing electricity is called electric current.
What is the medical term meaning upward?
Superior or cephalad is the medical term meaning upward.
Is an updraft an upward moving current of cold air?
No. An updraft (updraught) is an upward moving current of warm air.
What kind of force keeps current flowing in a circuit?
EMF (voltage) is the force that keeps current flowing in a circuit.
What does a inductive ammeter do?
It measures current by creating a coil around the current carrying wire. Current flowing in the wire induces a current in the amp-meter proportional to the current flowing in the wire.
When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction what current is there?
It is called an alternating current
Why was the capacitor discharging current negative?
When a capacitor is discharging, current is flowing out of the capacitor to other elements in the circuit, similar to a battery. Current flowing out of an element, by convention, is defined as negative current, while current flowing into an element, such as a resistor, is defined as positive current. Thus a discharging capacitor will always have a negative current.
When is the current flowing in a circuit said to be very small?
When the current flowing in a circuit is very small the resistance will be very high.
