The voltage measured across every component in the circuit would take on
the opposite polarity from what it was originally. If there are any diodes in
the circuit, then current might stop flowing in some branches where it formerly
existed, or start flowing in branches where there was no current before.
What else can I help you with?
What additional factor will be change if the direction of a current flow is change?
direction of magnetic field
What is the direction of current due to flow of electrons if it is not conventional current?
The direction of current due to flow of electrons is opposite to the direction of conventional current. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so when they flow in a wire, they are actually moving in the opposite direction to the current flow defined by convention.
When electrons are moving from negative pole to positive pole in the circuit then current in the circuit will be moving in which direction?
always current flow from the opposite direction of electron
What is the direction of the force on an electron that is moving alongside a wire that is carrying a current in the opposite direction?
The force on the electron would be perpendicular to both the direction of its motion and the current flow in the wire. This is described by the right-hand rule for magnetic fields, where the force would point in a specific direction based on the orientations of the current and the electron's motion.
In a direct current the flow of electron?
In a direct current (DC), the flow of electrons moves consistently in one direction. This unidirectional flow is typically from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a power source, such as a battery. DC is commonly used in low-voltage applications like electronics and batteries, where stable and predictable voltage is required. Unlike alternating current (AC), which reverses direction periodically, DC maintains a constant polarity.
Is the direction of current through a battery always from negative to positive on the terminals?
Conventional current flow is from positive to negative. Electron flow is from negative to positive
What flow is equal to and opposite of electron flow?
The "flow of current" is considered to be in the opposite direction.
What allows current to flow in one direction?
A diode is one of the fundamental building blocks of electronics. They allow the flow of electrons in one direction only. Thus are commonly used as rectifiers to turn ac voltages into dc. [A dry cell (mistakenly called a battery, which is a group of cells) will allow electron flow in one direction only, or rather, it will provide current flow in one direction. ]
What is electron movement referred to as?
Electron movement is referred to as electric current. When electrons flow through a conductor, such as a wire, they carry electrical energy from one point to another. The direction of current flow is opposite to the direction of electron movement.
The expression alternating current refers to which form of energy?
Alternating current is a flow of electrical energy in which the direction of electron flow reverses periodically. The mains electricity in your house is likely Alternating Current. The other form is Direct Current, where the direction of electron flow is in one direction only. Such as the flow from the batteries in your flashlight.
Do Diodes have the ability to block electron flow in one direction and pass electrons in the opposite direction.?
yes
The battery determines the direction of flow of charge in a circuit?
Yes
Difference between electron flow and conventional current?
Conventional current flow refers to a flow of positive charges. It is a kind of ficticious current. If - as is often the case - the real current is an electron flow (negative charges), then the conventional flow is a current in the opposite direction as the electron movements, since this would have the same effect (for example on the magnetic field, or on conservation of charge).
What happens if you reverse the current flow in an electromagnet?
Reversing the current flow in an electromagnet changes the direction of the magnetic field it produces. This can be useful for changing the polarity of the electromagnet or controlling the direction of a mechanical system it is used in.
The polarity of an electromagnet is determined by what?
The polarity of an electromagnet is determined by the direction of the electric current flowing through the wire coil. Reversing the direction of the current will change the polarity of the electromagnet.
What is the relationship between the direction of current and the direction of electron flow in a current carrying wire?
the directions are opposite to each other
What is the relationship between the direction of current and direction of electron flow in a current carrying wire?
the directions are opposite to each other
