cuz a resistor is basically a long wire , that resists some of the charges flowing across it.

it has resistive properties which stops some of the current from flowing from one terminal to the other.

so....as it is just a piece of wire....it doesn't need a +ve or a -ve terminal

What are the colours of the positive and the negative terminals of the rheostat?

A rheostat is simply a variable resistor used to control current. It does not have a positive or a negative terminal.


How do you know positive and negative terminals?

Look for a + by the positive terminal and a - by the negative terminal, or red for positive, black for negative. Some batteries have the positive terminal protruding and the negative terminal flat. Or you can get a meter that will tell you which is which,


Do electrons flow from the positive to the negative terminal of a wet cell?

Electrons have a negative charge. For that reason, electrons will always flow in the opposite direction of the current, which flows from positive to negative. Electrons will therefore move from a negative terminal to a positive terminal when we look at the load on a cell. Within the cell, the electrons will flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.

What is the positive terminal of a diode known as?

It is called the positive + terminal or post, just like you list. Electrons flow for the negative - to the + terminal contrary to popular belief.Another AnswerAs electrons flow through the external circuit from anode (negative terminal) to the cathode (positive terminal) , then the answer is 'cathode'.


When a dry cell is connected in a series the flow of electrons moves from the positive or negative terminal to the positive or negative terminal?

When a dry cell is connected in a series, the flow of electrons moves from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. Electrons are negatively charged particles and are attracted to the positive terminal while repelled by the negative terminal. This movement creates an electric current that flows through the circuit.


How many terminal does a battery have?
