What else can I help you with?
Can a wattmeter that has a current through its current coil and a potential across its voltage indicate zero?
A: Only if the current is very small and the scaling very large. Like trying to measure micro amps on amp meter
Does voltage flow across a circuit or is it impressed across a circuit?
Voltage is impressed across a circuit. Current flows through a circuit.
What are the differences between emf and voltage drop?
emf and voltageAnswerElectromotive force is the potential difference created by a source, such as a battery or generator, when it is not connected to a load -in other words, on 'open circuit'.Voltage drop is the potential difference across a load, such as a resistor, which causes current to flow through that load.A voltage drop occurs, internally, in batteries and generators, when they are supplying a load. The battery or generator's terminal voltage, when supplying a load, is its e.m.f. less its internal voltage drop.
What is the voltage across the load R when the switch is ON?
It's the product of the resistance of that resistive load and the current passing through it.
What effect if any does connecting a voltmeter across a resistor in a circuit have on the current through the resistor?
A very very tiny amount of the current that would normally flow through the resistor instead flows through the voltmeter, allowing it to make its measurement. For most purposes this very very tiny amount of current can be completely ignored.
What are basic principle of a series circuit?
The same current passes through all the devices, and the sum of the potential differences across the devices is equal to the terminal potential difference across the power supply.
What is required for current to flow through an electrical current?
Potential Source connected across a Closed Circuit Path.
What is the relationship between the current flowing through a wire and the potential difference across it?
The relationship between the current flowing through a wire and the potential difference across it is described by Ohm's Law. Ohm's Law states that the current (I) flowing through a wire is directly proportional to the potential difference (V) across it, and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) of the wire. Mathematically, this relationship is represented as V I R.
When the current traveling through a resistor is increased what happens to the voltage that travels through the same resistor?
Your question reveals fundamental misunderstandings about the nature of electricity.'Voltage' is simply another word for 'potential difference', and a potential difference appears across opposite ends of the resistor; it doesn't 'travel through' that resistor! Current, on the other hand, DOES 'travel through' the resistor and is caused by the potential difference across the resistor.Resistance is the ratio of potential difference to current. So if the resistance remians unchanged when the current through it doubles, then it has happened because the potential difference has doubled.
What will be the potential difference across a 50Ω resistor if a current of 500mA is flowing through it?
Potential difference equals current multiplied by resistance or E = IR therefore the answer to your question is 25 volts
What happen is the potential difference across is double?
If the potential difference across a circuit is doubled, the current flowing through the circuit will also double, assuming the resistance remains constant. This is because Ohm's Law states that current is directly proportional to voltage when resistance is held constant.
Is there a relationship between the sums and the electrical potential across the source?
Yes, there is a relationship between the sums of electrical potential differences in a circuit and the electrical potential across the source. The sum of the potential differences around a closed loop in a circuit equals zero, known as Kirchhoff's Voltage Law. This means that the sum of the potential drops across circuit elements is equal to the potential rise across the power source.
Potential difference across resistor is doubled?
If the potential difference across a resistor is doubled, the current flowing through the resistor will also double, assuming its resistance remains constant. This relationship is described by Ohm's Law, where current is directly proportional to voltage when resistance is held constant.
Does current flow through a resistor, or does it flow across a resistor?
Current flows through a resistor, not across it.
What is the resistance of a resistor if the potential differennce across the resistor is 9 V when current of 1 A flows through the resistor?
9 ohms
What is the difference between diffusion potential and nernst potential?
The Diffusion Potential is the potential difference across the boundary b/w two electrolytic solutions of different compositions The Nernst Potential is the diffusion potential across a membrane that exactly opposes the net diffusion of a particular ion through the membrane
How to find the potential difference across a resistor in an electric circuit?
To find the potential difference across a resistor in an electric circuit, you can use Ohm's Law, which states that voltage (V) equals current (I) multiplied by resistance (R). So, you can calculate the potential difference by multiplying the current flowing through the resistor by the resistance value of the resistor.
