What part of the hair dryer controls when the current flows?

The power switch or button on a hair dryer controls when the current flows through the device. It allows the user to turn the hair dryer on and off by completing or interrupting the electrical circuit, which determines whether the current flows through the device.


Why is galvanometer used when you know that electric current travels from cathode to anode of the battery?

I think that you talk about the usage of galvanometer in photoelectric emission experiment. Right? The main purpose of using a galvanometer is to know about whether current flows or not and also the direction in which current flows. Moreover current flows right from anode to cathode and electrons do flow from cathode to anode within the discharge tube.

Why infinite current flows when voltage applied is zero?

No current flows when the applied voltage is zero.


Is power line current ac current?

Yes it is AC. AC means Alternating Current in which the current flows first one way and then flows the other way. The current from a battery is DC, Direct Current, in which the current constantly flows one way only.


The current which flows southwest off the coast of South America is the what current?

The current is the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. It is the strongest ocean current in the world and flows from west to east around Antarctica.


Does resistance depend on whether the current leaves or enters the negative terminal?

No, resistance of a wire depends only on its nature, length and area.(R=pL/A) . It is independent on whether the current leaves or enters the negative terminals. By the way, current always flows from negative terminal of battery to its positive terminal,conventional current is nothing. But this is beyond the scope of the question!
