One of Kierchieff's laws tell us that the more wattage (energy) consumed by an electrical device in a circuit, the larger the voltage difference that exists across the device and the greater the current flowing through it. The energy consumed is directly proportional to the Impedance of the electrical device but is more importantly proportional to the square of the current.

WATTS=VOLTS X AMPERES= RESISTANCE (IMPEDANCE) X AMPERES X AMPERES

A Circuit with Current but without resistance would exhibit no energy at all.

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.


What slows down electicity?

Well, I guess you could say that inductance in a circuit does. Resistors don't 'slow it down'. They just dissipate some of the energy of an electric current, but it still gets to where it's going just as soon as if the resistors were not there.


Can an electric circuit burn paper if it comes into contact with it?

Yes, if the circuit gets hot enough.


Why does nichrome wire get heated in an electric circuit whereas nichrome does?

Nichrome wire gets heated in an electric circuit due to its high electrical resistance. When an electric current passes through the nichrome wire, the resistance converts electrical energy into thermal energy, causing the wire to heat up. This property makes nichrome suitable for applications like heating elements in toasters and hair dryers. In contrast, materials with low resistance do not heat up significantly under the same conditions, as they allow electricity to flow with minimal energy loss.


How is current distributed in a series circuit?

In a series circuit, all components gets the same amount of current passing through them.


Microphone acoustic energy?

The acoustic energy gets converted into electric energy


What is the functions of a filament in an electric bulb?

To produce the light. When it gets heated, it glows.


Why filament gets heated?

Filament gets heated when an electric current passes through it, causing resistance in the filament wire. The resistance converts electrical energy into heat energy, which then causes the filament to reach high temperatures and emit light.


What happens to electric current as voltage gets large?

If the resistance of the load is kept more-or-less constant, then the current also becomes larger. On the other hand, if the power of the load is kept more-or-less constant, then the current becomes smaller.


The energy an object gets from its motion is?

The energy an object gets from its motion is called kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is dependent on the speed and mass of an object.


What happens in a circuit when the resistance gets greater?

Flow of current decreases proportionately.


Do Gensets use mechanical power while running?

No. they use chemical energy, that gets turned into mechanical energy, that gets turned into electric energy.
