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).
How you would use the water flow to demonstrate a low-voltage electric current?
In a water system, the "voltage" is the water pressure, the flow rate is the "current", and the pipe size is the "resistance". Low-voltage electrical current is equivalent to low-pressure water.
The flow of electrons through a conductor is called?
electric current
What magnet is created by an electric current?
Current flow
What actually moves when an electric current flow?
Electrons move in electron current flow.
Does eletricity flow fast or slow?
Compared to molasses, water in the olde mill stream, or traffic on the interstate highway, electric current flows very fast. Compared to the speed of light, in vacuum and in most material media, electric current flows slower.
The flow of electric charges is called?
The flow of electric charges is current.
What is the reason behind the flow of electric current?
potential difference make the current to flow. i think this can be compared with mechanical system as fluid flow as a result prssure difference between two points
What is the flow electric charges called?
It is called an electric current.
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
The flow of electricity can be compared to the circulation of water in a?
A pipe. The volume of water available can be compared to voltage. The diameter of pipe could be compared to resistance with smaller diameter being larger resistance and the flow of water past a point in pipe is equivalent to current flow.
What is the difference between voltage and current. Explain practically?
Voltage can be compared with the level to which the tap is opened. (Volume of water) Current can be compared with the speed at which water flows from tap. (Flow of water).
Comparing the flow of water and electric current the rate of flow liters per minute is comparable to the?
Voltage
What is the direction of flow of electric current in an electric current?
DC current
Is electric current and current the same thing?
Not really. You can compare them with the analogy of water flowing through a pipe. For water to flow, there must be a pressure difference across the ends of the pipe. An electric current is a movement of electric charges along a conductor. For those charges to move, there must be a voltage (more accurately, a 'potential difference') across the ends of the conductor. So a potential difference is required to cause current to flow.
What is a continuous flow of electricity is called?
A current.
What does the electric current have?
In metal conductors, electric current is the flow of electrons.
