What is a stream of charged protons and electrons from the sun?
Those are two different things. Here are the answers to both: -- There is no such thing as a "flow of power". -- The flow of electric charge is "electric current".
What effect of current is utilised in bulb?
The effect of current utilised in a bulb is the conversion of electrical energy into light energy through the heating of the filament inside the bulb. This process is known as resistive heating, where the current passing through the filament encounters resistance, causing it to heat up and produce light.
What happens to the brightness of a bulb if the volts are increased?
The electrical potential energy increases as the voltage is increased. It further excites the filament in the bulb more than a lessor voltage would. Using good old ohm's law (Voltage = Current x Resistance), a larger voltage applied to a bulb at the same resistance increases the current proportionally and larger currents has the effect to cause higher temps in conductors
Explain the effect of type of bonding on properties of materials?
The type of bonding in a material influences its properties. Materials with ionic bonds tend to have high melting and boiling points, are brittle, and conduct electricity when dissolved in water. Covalent bonded materials have lower melting and boiling points, can be flexible, and tend to be poor conductors of electricity. Metallic bonded materials have high thermal and electrical conductivity, malleability, and ductility.
What do the moving electrons in a wire produce?
An electric current produces a combination of three effects. These are the heating effect, the chemical effect, and the magnetic effect.The unit of measurement of current, the ampere(A), cold be defined in terms of any of these three effects. However, in SI, the ampere is defined in terms of its magnetic effect -i.e. the force of attraction or repulsion created by the magnetic fields surrounding two, parallel, current-carrying conductors. Prior to its present definition, current was defined in terms of its chemical effect -i.e. the amount of silver deposited by electrolysis over a given period of time.
What is the impact of the AC skin effect on the performance of electrical conductors?
The AC skin effect causes the flow of alternating current to concentrate near the surface of a conductor, reducing its effective cross-sectional area for current flow. This increases resistance and can lead to power loss and decreased efficiency in electrical conductors.
What is current how it is measured?
An electric current (symbol: I) is a very slow drift of charge carriers (electrons, in metallic conductors), and is measured in amperes (symbol: A). An ampere is defined in terms of the 'magnetic effect' of an electric current, that is the force of attraction or repulsion between two, parallel, conductors due to the interaction of their magnetic fields. An instrument used to measure electric current is called an 'ammeter'.
What is a current in a circuit measured in?
ampsAnswerElectric current is measured by means of an ammeter. Electric current is expressed in amperes (symbol: A), which is defined in terms of the magnetic effect of an electric current -i.e. the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors.
Do any conductor have a different effect on a ligh bulb than others?
Yes, different conductors can have varying effects on a light bulb. Conductors with higher electrical conductivity will allow more current to flow, resulting in the light bulb glowing brighter. Conversely, poor conductors will restrict current flow, causing the light bulb to be dimmer or not light up at all.
What is see back effect?
The Seebeck effect is a phenomenon in which a temperature difference between two dissimilar electrical conductors or semiconductors produces a voltage difference between the two substances. When heat is applied to one of the two conductors or semiconductors, heated electrons flow toward the cooler one. If the pair is connected through an electrical circuit, direct current (DC) flows through that circuit.
What is skin effect and methods to reduce skin effect?
with the inductance of a conductor it tends to push current flow to the outsideto reduce the effect you make the conductor hollowwith 80 hz and Cu conductor the current is in the outer 8mm or so.AnswerYou cannot really reduce the skin effect in ordinary conductors; for the sake of economy, you can use tubular conductors. Tubular conductors do not reduce the skin effect, but merely saves copper (if little current flows towards the centre, why have a centre!). However, special, insulated, conductors ('litz' wire) woven or braided in various patterns, can be used for special applications (e.g. high-frequency transformer windings) up to around 1 MHz or so. Because each strand has a very small cross-sectional area, and is insulated from its adjacent conductors, the skin effect is negligible compared with if it were a solid conductor.
Do the super conductors have real zero electrical resistance or is it a virtual one?
A superconductor truly has zero electrical resistance.It took scientists a half century to explain why, so this answer will omit the explanation of the effect.
What effect has the number of armature paths upon the current carrying ability of generator?
What effect has the number of armature paths upon the current-carrying ability of a generator?
How would high voltage effect the current in the wires?
The current is determined by the load. So if the conductors are designed to carry the resulting load current, then the high-voltage supply will have no effect. If not, then the conductors will overheat, their insulation will fail, and a short-circuit will result. However, the conductor's insulation must also be capable of withstanding the high voltage; if not, then the insulation will break down and a short circuit will result.
Which effect of electric current is utilised in the working of an electrical fuse?
The heating effect is used. Normally the current flows through the fuse without undue heating. But if too much current passes through, the fuse will heat and melt, thus stopping the current which could cause a fire if it was not stopped .
What is a aerial bundle conductor?
In science and engineering, conductors are materials with low resistivity, this due to the presence of mobile charged particles within the material. In metallic conductors, such as copper or aluminum, the movable charged particles are present because atoms have loosely held valence electrons. See electrical conduction. All conductors contain electric charges which will move when an electric potential difference (measured in volts) is applied across separate points on the material. This flow of charge (measured in amperes) is what is meant by electric current. In most materials, the rate of current is proportional to the voltage (Ohm's law,) provided the temperature remains constant and the material remains in the same shape and state. The ratio between the voltage and the current is called the resistance(measured in ohms) of the object between the points where the voltage was applied. The resistance across a standard mass (and shape) of a material at a given temperature is called the resistivity of the material. The inverse of resistance and resistivity is conductance and conductivity. Most familiar conductors are metallic. Copper is the most common material for electrical wiring, and gold for high-quality surface-to-surface contacts. However, there are also many non-metallic conductors, including graphite, solutions of salts, and all plasmas. See electrical conduction for more information on the physical mechanism for charge flow in materials. Non-conducting materials lack mobile charges, and so resist the flow of electric current, generating heat. In fact, all materials offer some resistance and warm up when a current flows. Thus, proper design of an electrical conductor takes into account the temperature that the conductor needs to be able to endure without damage, as well as the quantity of electrical current. The motion of charges also creates an electromagnetic field around the conductor that exerts a mechanical radial squeezing force on the conductor. A conductor of a given material and volume (length x cross-sectional area) has no real limit to the current it can carry without being destroyed as long as the heat generated by the resistive loss is removed and the conductor can withstand the radial forces. This effect is especially critical in printed circuits, where conductors are relatively small and close together, and inside an enclosure: the heat produced, if not properly removed, can cause fusing (melting) of the tracks. Since all conductors have some resistance, and all insulators will carry some current, there is no theoretical dividing line between conductors and insulators. However, there is a large gap between the conductance of materials that will carry a useful current at working voltages and those that will carry a negligible current for the purpose in hand, so the categories of insulator and conductor do have practical utility. Thermal and electrical conductivity often go together (for instance, most metals are both electrical and thermal conductors). However, some materials are practical electrical conductors without being a good thermal conductor In science and engineering, conductors are materials with low resistivity, this due to the presence of mobile charged particles within the material.
