What else can I help you with?
What is a type of machine that makes electricity?
A machine that makes electricity is called a generator. Generators use electromagnetism to convert physical movement into electricity.
What is a path through which current flows?
A path through which current flows is generally called a circuit. Some might say a complete circuit to denote a "closed loop" through which electricity can leave one electrode or contact on a voltage source, travel through some conductors of some kind, and then return to the other electrode or contact on the source.
What is buddy's engine on the sleigh in the movie elf called?
In the movie "Elf," Buddy's engine on the sleigh is called the "Kringle 3000." This engine is a high-powered motor that helps the sleigh fly through the air. It is a key component in making Santa's sleigh travel at incredible speeds to deliver presents around the world on Christmas Eve.
Electricity can be made by animal manure?
The method of turning manure into electricity is called "biogas" and is a procedure where cattle manure is processed to release methane gas that will be burned as fuel to power a generator.
What is the name of the electrical pressure that causes current to flow in a circuit?
Electrical pressure is called "electro-motive force" (EMF). It is measured in volts. Pressure and the quantity of electricity transmitted can be considered analogous to pressure and quantity of water flowing in pipes: the longer the distance, the higher is the pressure (called the "voltage" for electricity) that is necessary to pump the flow of water (called the "flow of electrical charge, which is also known as the "electric current"). That is why, for long distance transmission, high pressure (voltage for electricity) is required, failing which, the current - and therefore the power - will not reach the intended destination. Instead, it will be lost (also called "dissipate") along the way. We can think of electrical current as the quantity of electricity which will be drawn from the pipeline (= cables for electricity) at the pressure (= voltage) required.
What is it called when it's difficult for electricity to flow through a component?
When it's difficult for electricity to flow through a component, it is called resistance. Resistance is measured in ohms and is influenced by factors like the material the component is made of and its physical dimensions.
If it is difficult for electricity to flow through a component what is it called and the last letter is e?
Resistor.
What type of resistance - high or low - do conductors and insulators have?
A component of a given size that offers low resistance is called a good conductor.A conductor having some appreciable resistance is called a resistor.A component of identical size that offers a higherresistance is called a poor conductor.An insulator of the same size offers even higherresistance.
What is the object called that uses electricity in a circuit to make something happen?
The object that uses electricity in a circuit to make something happen is known as the load. Usually the load is rated in watts.
What is the component that allows current to pass through easily?
The component that allows current to pass through easily is called a conductor. Conductor materials have low resistance and allow electricity to flow through them with minimal hindrance. Examples of conductors include metals like copper and aluminum.
What is the name of the component that turns and controls or limits the flow of electricity?
A device that controls or limits the flow of electricity is called a resistor.
What is the path which electricity travels called?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
A circuit that has only one path for electricity to flow through?
A circuit with only one path for electricity to flow through is called a series circuit. In a series circuit, the components are connected end-to-end, so the current flows through each component in sequence. If one component fails, the entire circuit will be broken.
How does electricity flow through a conductor this is called?
Conduction
What is the scientific name of a substance that lets electricity flow through it?
A substance that lets electricity flow through it is called a conductor (or sometimes, to be more explicit, it is called an electrical conductor). Substances which do not permit the flow of electricity are called insulators.
What is the electricity in motion is called?
Electricity in motion is called electric current. It is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
What is called electricity flowing through wire?
Electricity flowing through a wire is called an electric current. This current is the movement of electric charge carriers, such as electrons, through the wire in a specific direction.
