Will a light bulb evaporate water?
If you were to put a bare wire belonging to anything in a glass of water, the electricity flowing through the wire would have no reason to continue to travel through the wire instead of dispersing in the water. The water offers less resistance, so the electricity flows through that instead of the wire. This is known as creating a short circuit, or a short, for short! With no electricity flowing through the bulb, it will turn off.
What do we use solar energy for?
we use it for regular energy appliances without wasting electricity and hurting the earth and we use the sun instead.
How is solar energy can be useful in your daily lives?
it takes the sun light and uses it to make electricity. so during the hot summer (depending where you live) instead of using alot of electricity and ur electricity bill skyrocketing, it stays low because solar panels create electricity from the sun. My parents got them and the work amazing, our electric bill is going down and we are saving money
How do air fresheners use static electricity?
Air Fresheners use static electricity by charging the air/odour molecules in the room. A plate on the air freshener is then charged oppositely. When this happens the air/odour molecules will attract to the plate removing the smell and replacing it with a fresh scent. So instead of the air freshener producing a stronger smell, it will eliminate the odour.
Does salt water conduct electricity?
Salt water is a pretty good conductor of electricity. Its not as good as a metal but still is far from being an insulator. Pure water does not conduct electricity well at all. The reason salt water conducts electricity is because the NaCl (sodium chloride, aka table salt) breaks apart into a positively charged Na+ and a negatively charged Chlorine Cl-. When voltage is applied, the charged ions feel the force of the electric field created and they move. Instead of electrons then, the current is the moving ions. The more salt you put into the water, the better it conducts electricity. (Pure water is actually and poor conductor because the only ions it has are the residual H+ and OH- that form in neutral water and are the reason we say water has a pH of 7.)
Which wire ensures that electricity will flow through it when flowing downhill instead of in people?
Seems to be a joke question...Of course properly and well dimensioned insulatedwires
A charge that stays on an object instead of flowing in a current?
static electricity
If you puncture a cylinder of carbon dioxide gas why does the gas rush out instead of flowing or leaking out?
the gas is pressurized so instead of flowing or leaking out it rushes out.
What is the unit of electricity current flow?
The unit quantity of electricity is the Coulomb. The rate of electricity flow in coulombs per second is the Ampere, sometimes shortened to Amp. Note: current doesn't flow, instead current itself is a flow rate (flow of coulombs of charge per second.) When coulombs are flowing, the flow rate is measured in amperes.

What way should your right front wheel be facing when you are parked on a downhill curb?
In a downhill area, you should always park with the front wheels toward the curb. The theory is that if the brakes malfunction, the car will move towards the curb and stop, instead of going downhill, gathering speed and causing an accident.
How is cross-country skiing different from down hill skiing?
Quite a bit is different. The gear is different, the skis are straight, as opposed to downhill skis being curved (the curve makes it easier to turn on a downhill slope), the boots in cross country are not stationary in the bindings, as downhill boots are, instead you can move the heels, and the poles used in cross country are longer. Also, the slopes are not nearly as steep as in downhill skiing.
What is a charge that stay on an object instead of flowing in a current?
A charge that does not move is called a static charge.
Can uranium be used instead of electricity?
Uranium is used in nuclear power reactors to produce electricity or thermal energy.
What is the units of electric current?

Is coal iron and steel the most important industry in the world?
No, coal produces electricity, so electricity is instead of coal
Meltwater is a film of water that forms?
Melt ponds are formed when meltwater pools on the surface instead of flowing.
