How does a switch control an electric device?
A switch basically represents a gap in the electric circuit. Electric current can pass through a circuit only if it is complete. An incomplete circuit can never pass a current through it. When the switch is in the 'off' position, the circuit has a break (gap) in it. When you put the switch in 'on' position, the circuit wire join and the circuit gets completed.
Does the galvanometer measures AC and DC current?
It is used to detect very small DC currents only. For AC signals Detectors are used.
What is meant by alternative current?
Alternating current is more efficinent. It is wireless and more efficient than direct current. And it is safer. Plus Tesla is better than Edison
What is an Esaki diode?
A diode is a semiconductor electrical component that allows an electric current in only one direction. A tunnel diode, or Esaki diode, is a special type of diode that can operate very quickly using quantum tunneling, allowing it to work even with microwave frequencies (current switching direction billions of times per second).
Do all currents provide the same amount of energy?
Of course not! There is no direct relationship between electric current and electric energy. They aren't even measured in the same units. Also in most cases small electric currents provide less electric energy that very large electric currents. If all electric currents provided the same electric energy then the electric current from a flashlight battery that lights the bulb when you turn the switch on could provide the same electric energy as the electric current in a lightning bolt when it strikes... therefore every time you turned on a flashlight the electric energy would destroy the flashlight and electrocute you! As this doesn't happen, the only answer that your question can have is no!
A path that allows only one route for an electric current is what?
A series circuit.
A path that allows only one route for an electric current is called a?
A path that allows only one route for an electric current is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single loop so that the current passes through each component in sequence.
A path created for a current that allows only one route for the current is called?
Series circuit.
A path that allows only one route for a current is called a?
series circuit
What path is created for a current that allows only one route for the current?
A controlled and linear path of current is an electrical circuit. A complete circuit has a beginning and terminus for the flow of charge.
What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
When a circuit is closed, meaning there is a complete path for the electric current to flow, the current will flow from the positive terminal of the voltage source through the circuit components and back to the negative terminal. This flow of current allows electrical energy to be transferred and work to be done in the circuit.
Is electric current scaler or vector quantity?
Electric current is a scalar quantity as it only has magnitude (typically measured in amperes) and no direction.
Function of diode?
While there are many other uses for diodes, they are used mainly as rectifiers. Their ability to conduct electric current in only one direction allows them to be used to convert (rectify) alternating current to direct current.
What is the part of a circuit that connects or disconnects the circuit?
Switches, fuses and circuit breakers are examples of some of the electrical parts which can connect or disconnect a circuit to a source of current. A diode does it for alternating current, but only for one half of each cycle. "Connecting" allows an electric current to flow through the circuit. "Disconnecting" stops an electric current from flowing through the circuit.
Direct current an electric current flowing in one direction only?
This is known as DC. Direct Current.
What is an electric current only going in one direction?
dc
What is direct current stand for?
Direct current (DC) is nothing but an electric current flowing only in one direction.
