Electricity in the US is typically provided in the home as alternating current (AC) at an RMS Voltage of 120 Volts.
How much current will be delivered will depend on what is plugged into that socket. Standard outlets are typically rated at 15 Amperes or 20 Amperes, but higher current ones are available for special purposes where more current is needed. Circuit breakers (or fuses in some cases) are provided to protect the wiring and prevent fires by automatically disconnecting the circuit if a short circuit or other problem causes the circuit to draw more current than it is rated for.

What is the metric unit used to measure electric currents?
an electric current is from a thunder storm, and by that i mean the capacity is the fact that ellie woody is a poo face
Statis electricity is a kind of electricity What is this electricity type?
To whom it may concern, Did you mean to ask what is static electricity?? If so the term static, which means stays the same, means the electricity in a circuit is static; it does not change direction and electrons only have 1 path to travel. An example of a static circuit would be a DC ( Direct Current) circuit, whereas an AC circuit; alternating current, alternates between 120v to 0v, then 0 to negative 120, back to 0v, then to positive 120v, however, this happens at so fast you would never catch a reading on a multi meter.
Why we can't store alternating current?
Not quite sure what you mean; a current, by definition, is a flow of electric charges. You can convert electrical energy to some other type of energy, and store the ENERGY, which can then be converted back later (there will always be some losses, of course), but it isn't clear what you mean by "store electrical current".
What does current mean in science?
It is probably used in the sense that current electricity is the opposite of static electricity. Current is a measure of the movement of electric charges, while in static electricity the charges do not move much.
What is Low current electrical systems?
This refers to the electric current in amps. There is no definition of what constitutes a low current, but in electronics it might refer to less than 1 mA, while in domestic power supply it might mean less than 5 amps.
What is a Single pole electric service?
Do you mean Single Phase? This is what supplies American homes and some commercial buildings. It is 120V/240V.
What does graded mean in electric goods?
Of, relating to, producing, or operated by electricity: electric current; an electrical appliance.
What does Ka Huila Wai mean in Hawain?
I believe it is rarely used to mean electric current.
What do you measure with electric current?
Electric current is typically measured in amperes (A), which is the flow of electric charge through a specific point in a circuit over time. This measurement helps determine the amount of electricity being transferred and the rate at which it is flowing in a circuit.
What do you mean by data bus buffer?
It simply amplifies the current or power. It is used to increase the driving capability of a logic socket.
What do you mean by Electro Luminescence?
A device that glows when excited by electric current, but does not generate heat.
What do you mean by magnetic affect of electric?
The magnetic effect of electric current is known as electromagnetic effect. It is observed that when a compass is brought near a current carrying conductor the needle of compass gets deflected because of flow of electricity. This shows that electric current produces a magnetic effect.
Which test can best detect the presence of electrical current a the needle of a compass b the bulb in an electric circuit blows c the plug of an iron is placed in the socket?
Here are some possible answers: a) If you hold a compass close to a wire you may see the needle move. How much it moves depends on the strength of the current flowing in the wire. If the needle doesn't move then there may be three explanations: 1) No direct current was flowing in the wire OR 2) a direct current was flowing but it was too weak to make the compass needle move OR 3) there might have been a current but it was an alternating current changing so fast that the needle did not seem to move. b) If the bulb in an electric circuit was lit but then blows, it may mean one of two things 1) the current was switched off so the bulb went out OR 2) the bulb just died, in which case any current that was flowing in the bulb's circuit would stop. c) when the plug of an iron is placed into a socket, if it warms up then a current must be flowing from the socket to the iron. But before the iron was plugged-in, no current was flowing. Now you work out which of those answers to this question is the right one!

How much current flows in a 12 watt radio connected to a 120 volt supply?
Assuming that you mean connected to 120 Volts (V) supply, start with Power(P)=Current(I) x Voltage(V), and if P=V*I, then I=P/V. I=12W/120V=0.1A or 100mA and that is your current.
What does tube mean?
an electron tube containing a near-vacuum that allows the free passage of electric current.
