Of course, since you can't see current, any answer would be imaginary. How about this one: Electrical current consists of charged particles (electrons) flowing through a conductor, such as a wire. AC current alternates, or changes direction, several times a second. We need some particles. Let's use sand. For our conductor, how about a length of clear plastic pipe (clear so we can see what's happening). Put some of the electrons (sand) in the wire (pipe). Shake the pipe back and forth, back and forth, etc. so the sand travels one way, then the other. That makes you the generator! If you watch the middle of the pipe, you see the particles flow first one way, then the other. Voila! AC current flow.

What would happen to a current if the temperatures at the poles increase?

If temperatures at the poles increase, it could lead to melting ice, which in turn could increase freshwater input into the ocean. This influx of freshwater could impact ocean currents and potentially disrupt global circulation patterns like the Gulf Stream.


How could have caused the pens motion?

The movement of the pen could have been caused by someone physically pushing or dropping it, an external force such as air currents or vibrations, or a change in the pen's environment like a sudden change in temperature.


Once a current is set in motion what could change its course?

Factors that could change the course of a current include changes in wind patterns, shifts in water temperature or salinity, variations in underwater topography, and the influence of other currents or tides. External sources such as human activities, like dredging or construction, can also alter the path of a current.


What is a trengh?

It seems like you may have misspelled the word "strength," which commonly refers to the quality of being physically strong. It can also refer to having mental or emotional power, resilience, or capabilities to handle challenges effectively.


Would a resistor is a good conductor?

No, resistors are designed to restrict the flow of electric current, so they are not good conductors like copper or other metals that allow current to pass freely. Resistors have high resistance which limits the amount of current that can flow through them.

Why does the guy you like mess with you when he has a girlfriend?

It could be that he is unhappy in the current relationship. It could be that the girlfried he has doesnt meet his needs. But he could also just be a player. Either way its not right what he is doing and if he is unhappy in his current relationship then should not be in it.
