What factors affect the speed of current flow?
The factors that affect the speed of current flow include the material through which the current is flowing (conductivity), the cross-sectional area of the conductor, the voltage applied, and the resistance in the circuit. A higher conductivity material, larger cross-sectional area, higher voltage, and lower resistance will result in a faster current flow.
What is the relationship between voltage potential and electrical current flow in a circuit?
Voltage potential is the force that pushes electrical current through a circuit. The higher the voltage, the greater the potential for current flow. In other words, voltage drives the flow of current in a circuit.
When does the electric current flow?
An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).
What does voltage cause?
Voltage causes the flow of electric current in a circuit. It is the driving force that pushes electrons through a conductor, allowing electrical devices to operate. The higher the voltage, the more current will flow through the circuit.
What current will flow through the heating coil when the heater is plugged in?
The current flowing through the heating coil will depend on the resistance of the coil and the voltage of the power source. Using Ohm's Law (I = V/R), where I is the current, V is the voltage, and R is the resistance, you can calculate the current. The higher the voltage or lower the resistance, the higher the current.
Electrons flow from areas of higher to lower voltage or from areas of lower to higher voltage?
Electronsflow from areas of lower to higher voltage, while Current flow from areas higher to lower voltage.

High voltage will trip a circuit breaker?
A higher voltage means that a higher current will flow in the same load. It is the current that causes the breaker to trip.
What happens to current flow when the resistance is higher than normal?
For a specific voltage, current flow is inversely proportional to resistance.
How do we usually think of voltage as the cause and currents the effect?
You apply a voltage across a load and the result is that a current flows through the load. So you must have the voltage present, the cause, before current flow, the effect. Think of voltage as pressure and current as flow.
How does the voltage applied to a circuit affect the current flowing through the wire?
Voltage is equal to the Current multiplied by the Resistance.Without changing the resistance, increasing the applied voltage in a circuit will increase current flow. There is a simple, direct relationship between voltage and current. Double the voltage, twice the current will flow. Triple the voltage, and the current will triple. As voltage (E) equals current (I) times resistance (R), when resistance is fixed, what happens to voltage will happen to current.
Is it true that electrical current flows from a state of rest to a high pressure state?
No, it is not true. An electrical current (which is a flow of electrons) can only flow from a higher pressure state (higher voltage) to a lower pressure state (lower voltage).

What amount of resistance has the least amount of current flow?
The higher the resistance, the less current will flow through it (while the supply voltage remains constant).
Why are the readings on a ammeter always different?
The readings on an ammeter indicate the current being drawn by a load in a circuit. This load is basically a resistance to current flow. The higher the resistance, the lower the current. The supply voltage has a direct effect on current flow. The higher the voltage applied, the higher the current will be. So the readings will vary on the ammeter according to fluctuations in load and or resistance of the circuit and the applied voltage.
What does voltage cause?
Voltage causes the flow of electric current in a circuit. It is the driving force that pushes electrons through a conductor, allowing electrical devices to operate. The higher the voltage, the more current will flow through the circuit.
