I am not sure how the two objects of equal resistance are supposed to be connected. But for a current to flow, for example across a resistor, there must be a voltage difference between the terminals of this resistor.

How does a static discharge differ from an electric current?

It doesn't differ at all, an electric current is electricity that is moving in a current and when static electricity is discharged from an object it creates a current from one object to another


The process of electrolysis used to coat objects with metals is?

The process of electrolysis used to coat objects with metals is called electroplating. In this process, an electric current is passed through a solution containing metal ions, which causes the metal ions to deposit onto the object's surface, creating a thin layer of metal coating. Electroplating is commonly used to improve the appearance, corrosion resistance, and durability of objects.


Definition of magnetism?

A physical phenomenon produced by the motion of electric charge, resulting in attractive and repulsive forces between objects.


For an eletric current to flow the only thing needed is for two objects to have a difference in charge?

Yes. However, depending on the size and shape of the objects, the amount of current that flows may be small and/or flow for only a brief time until the charges are neutralized. But - if the objects are connected to an electrical power source such as a battery or a wall plug, the charges are continuously supplied and the current continues to flow.


Is copper has low resistivity or low resistance?

Copper is a material - although you can make objects from it. Resistivity is a property of materials. Resistance is a property of objects - it depends on the resistivity of the material the object is made of, the shape and size of the object, and also of where you connect to take your measurement. With all this in mind: Copper has a low resistivity. Copper objects tend to have low resistance compared to other objects of similar shape and size made of materials with a higher resistivity You can still achieve quite high resistances with a long enough piece of very thin copper wire.

What are examples of resistance force?

Examples of resistance forces include frictional force between surfaces, air resistance on moving objects, and resistance in electrical circuits that opposes the flow of current.


When electrons flow between two objects a what is produced?

When electrons flow between two objects, a flow of electric current is produced. This movement of charges generates a magnetic field around the flow of current.


Examples of high resistance and low resistance objects?

High resistance objects include materials like rubber, glass, and dry wood, while low resistance objects include metals like copper, silver, and gold. High resistance objects impede the flow of electrical current, while low resistance objects allow current to flow more easily.


Is it true for an electric current to flow only if two objects have a different charge?

No, electric current flows due to the movement of charged particles, usually electrons. Two objects with the same charge can still have current flow between them if there is a potential difference (voltage) present.


What is the relationship between the size of an electric current passing through a lenght of wire and its heating effect?

The higher the current, the more heat generated. Also, the smaller the diameter of the wire, the higher the heat. It is important to choose the correct amperage rating of the wire to prevent fires.Another AnswerThe work done by an electric current is the product of the square of that current, and the resistance of the conductor. The resulting heat depends upon the difference between the temperature of the conductor and that of the surrounding air. Remember, heat is defined as the transfer of energy between objects at different temperatures.


Which change increases the electric force between objects?

Increasing the charge on the objects or decreasing the distance between them will increase the electric force between them.


What is meant by the resistance of an electrical component?

Think of it like this: Friction causes you difficulty in pulling heavy objects on a carpet. This frictional force is similar to electrical resistance. It is one of two ways to define how easily electricity will travel through an electrical element.


What objects are similar because they are both areas where forces can act without objects touching?

Two examples of objects that are similar in that forces can act without objects touching are magnets and electric fields. In both cases, forces can act at a distance without direct contact between the objects.


Describe how the electric force between two objects depends on the amount of charge on the objects and the distance between them?

The electric force between two objects is directly proportional to the amount of charge on the objects. The force increases as the charge on the objects increases. Additionally, the electric force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects. The force decreases as the distance between the objects increases.


What The electric force between two objects depends on all of the following except what?

The electric force between two objects does not depend on the objects' mass. It depends on their charges and the distance between them.


What are two ways the electric force between two charged objects can be increased?

The electric force between two charged objects can be increased by increasing the magnitude of the charges on the objects or by decreasing the distance between the objects.


How do the electric force between two objects depends on the amount of charge?

The electric force between two objects is directly proportional to the amount of charge on each object. As the amount of charge increases, the electric force between the objects also increases. Conversely, if the amount of charge decreases, the electric force between the objects will decrease.
