That doesn't require any special device - it is part of the natural interaction between electricity and magnetism. However, devices that make practical use of this include electric motors, and generators.

What is the name for the potential difference that causes current to flow?

The name for the potential difference that causes current to flow is voltage.


What is the name for the device that changes the direction of the current?

A device that changes the direction of the current is called a "switch" or a "reversing switch." This device allows for the current to flow in different directions as needed.


What device is used to adjust the flow of electrical current?

A device used to adjust the flow of electrical current is called a resistor.


A switch is a device that stops and starts current flow in a circuit?

Yes, a switch is a device that stops and starts current flow in a circuit.


What is surface leakage current?

Undesired current flow across the surface of a semiconductor device due to contamination of that surface. This disturbs the operation of the device and causes a variety of failures. Insulators can also have surface leakage current for similar reasons.


Name device which permits direct current and opposes the flow of alternating current?

A device that permits direct current (DC) and opposes the flow of alternating current (AC) is a rectifier. Rectifiers are electronic components that only allow current to flow in one direction, which is common for converting AC to DC in power supplies and other applications.


How current are made?

You cause the current to flow through an electronic device that allows current to flow in one directionbut not in the other direction. Such a device is called a "diode" or a "rectifier".


Current will flow as long as the power supply is good and there's a power-control device true or false?

Current will flow as long as there is a difference of potential (a voltage) and a path for current to flow. So no power-control device is required for current flow but yes it will flow with a power control decive.


What causes an elecrtic current to flow in a circuit?

The movement of electron towards the high potential causes electric current to flow in a circuit.


What causes a current in an electric circuit?
