What gets used up in an electric circuit current or energy?
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 is adding a ammeter to a circuit different from adding a light bulb?
When you add a light bulb, you are adding a load, which performs a function - in this case, it converts electrical energy to light and heat energy. When you add an ammeter, most of the time you intend to measure the current in the circuit, which is the function of the ammeter. Thus the two electrical components differ in their function and does different things when added to a circuit.
What is a average measure of kinetic energy?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles such as the molecules in a gas or a liquid.
What is the difference between a double and single circuit circulation?
a single circuit has only one source of energy, like a battery compartment (no matter the amount of batteries) a double circuit has two sources of energy, like two batter compartments
What is the measure of kinetic energy of a substances molecules?
temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of a substances molecules, though energy is in joules and temperature is in Kelvin.
The measure of the potential energy available in a complete circuit is what?
Voltage
What measure of electrical energy transfers by electrons in a circuit?
Voltage
What is the measure of potential energy available in a complete circuit?
Voltage
What is the measure of how electric energy an electron in a circuit can gain from a battery?
Voltage
What is the measurement used to describe how much energy is produced or used during a chemical change?
The free energy (delta G) is the measure of the amount of energy produced or consumed in a reaction. Enthalpy (delta H) is a measure of the amount of heat produced or consumed in a reaction. These two quantities can sometimes be the same. When they are not, the other missing component where heat can be consumed or produced is work.
Is a measure of the energy electrons transfer to a circuit as they flow?
The standard unit of electric energy is the Watt Hour.
What is a measure of the energy electrons transfer to a circuit as they flow?
The standard unit of electric energy is the Watt Hour.
What effect does reducing resistance have on the power in a circuit?
Since power = voltage2/resistance, reducing the resistance will increase the power of the circuit. Incidentally, power is not 'consumed'; it's energy that's consumed.
What represents an indirect measure of the amount of energy released from food?
The amount of oxygen that's consumed when you burn your food is an indirect measure of the amount of energy that's released from the food. Bomb calorimeters are sometimes used to measure the energy content in food.
What quantity does a kwh measure?
The number of kilowatts used by a device in one hour. This gives you the rate at which energy is consumed.

What's the uses of calorie ..measure?
A calorie, by definition, is the amount of energy it takes to raise 1 gram of water 1 degree celsius. It is a measure of heat energy. To people, calories are found in foods and drinks, which give us energy. Each calorie is like a measure of potential energy we can then use. Living and exercising thus "burns" calories as we use up the energy we have consumed.
