What do amps do in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current (amps) is constant throughout the circuit. This means that the same amount of current flows through each component connected in series. The current is not divided or reduced as it travels through the circuit.
How does current travel in a series circuit?
Current in a series circuit travels in one path. This is because a series circuit is only one path. current in a series circuit stays the same thoughout the circuit this means that if in the beginning of the circuit there are 2 amps of current there will be the same ammount of current in the middle and in the end of it. if you don't understand this please tell me and ill explain in a better way.
How many volts in 6VA?
There are zero volts in 6 VA. The VA stands for Volt Amps. VA for all intents and purposes is the same as watts. You need to state an amperage to find the voltage. Volts = Watts/Amps.
Is it true that volt amps are the same as watts?
No, volt-amps (VA) and watts (W) are not the same. Watts measure real power in an electrical circuit, while volt-amps represent the apparent power, which includes both real power and reactive power.
The differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
In a series circuit, electrons flow through all the components one after another. If one fails (break), the whole circuit is no longer live. All the resistances are also added up in a series circuit. The current (measured in amps) is the same throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit, electrons flow through smaller circuits all coming from the same source. The amperage is different in each circuit based on the resistance offered. The one wire running to all the smaller circuits has higher current than any of the small offset circuits. Removing one thing will not affect the other smaller circuits as electrons can still flow. Current will be affected, of course.
Are amps and watts the same?
No, amps and watts are not the same. Amps refer to the unit of electric current, while watts refer to the unit of electric power. Watts are calculated by multiplying the voltage by the current in a circuit.
How will amps and current differ in a series if you get resistors with different resistance?
-- "Amps" and "current" are the same thing. Electric current is measured in units of Amperes. -- The current is always the same at every point in a series circuit, no matter how many resistors of the same or different values are in the circuit.
What is the name for the flow of electrons in an electric circuit?
A flow of electrons in an electrical circuit is called a current, which is the name given to the amount of electrical charge flowing in a certain period of time.Any total quantity of electrical charge is measured in coulombs.Any flow of electrical current is measured in amps.1 amp is equal to a flow of 1 coulomb of electrical charge in one second of time.
Does an ampere and a volt measure the same way?
No. Amps is generally measured in series, while volts can be measured in parallell.
What term is used to indicate rate of current flow in a circuit?
AmperesAnother AnswerThere really is no such thing as a 'rate of current flow'; if it existed, then it would be expressed in amperes per second.
How does the measured current compare?
it should have the same particles
After using current how many voltage and amps will be in return line?
The amps will be the same. Volts will depend on between which two points you're measuring it.
When current flow in electrical circuit is 2 amps what will the current flow be if the power doubles and the voltage remains the same?
Since power is voltage times amperes, in order to double the power while voltage remains the same, you must double the current - 4 amps in this case.
How do you calculate ohms?
Very basically, simply divide the voltage by the amperage. Thsi is not for calculating Ohms of resistance, just Ohms. For example, a 9 volt battery that delivers 3 amps has 3 ohms. To calculate ohms of resistance we use the ohms law. This measures the difference in current flow in amps (amps/current is amount or volume of flow, volts is power pushing that current, sort of) and voltage. For instance, measure the amps and voltage at the source and record the ohms. Then record the same at the end point the difference in ohms is ohms of resistance. So, if we measure 10 volts and 2 amps at the source we have 5 ohms. at the end point we have 8 volts and 1 amp we have 8 ohms. therefore we have 13 ohms of resistance. 1 Determine current. Current is the flow of electricity measured in amps. For example a current has four amps in the circuit. 2 Determine voltage. Voltage is the difference in electrical potential from two points, measured in volts. For example, there is two-hundred volts in a circuit. 3 Divide voltage by current to calculate resistance. Resistance is measured in ohms. In the example, two-hundred volts divided by four amps equals fifty ohms. 4 To get ohms of resistance, measure the end point. at the endpoint we have 100 volts and 2 amps=50 ohms. therefore we have 100 ohms of resistance

How much current flows through a 60 watt bulb connected to 120 volts?
Using the Electrical Power Law, which is:The current (measured in amps) equals the power (measured in watts) divided by the potential difference (measured in volts)So a light bulb designed to use 60 watts of power when supplied with 120 volts must draw 60 watts divided by 120 volts, which is a current of 0.5 amps.The same answer could be expressed in a few different ways:500 milliwatts500 mW"1/2 an amp" !
Are the amps in a series circuit the same all the way around?
Yes, the current is the same at every point in a series circuit.
