I believe so. It is also equal to power divided by voltage, as well as voltage divided by resistance.

How do resistors affect the change in current flowing through a circuit?

Resistors in a circuit reduce the flow of current by impeding the movement of electrons. This causes a decrease in the overall current flowing through the circuit.


What does an ammmeter measure when it is placed between two cells?

An ammeter measures the total current flowing through the circuit when placed in series between two cells. It will measure the sum of the currents produced by both cells as they combine to flow through the circuit.


In a circuit what do electrons travel in?

In a circuit, electrons travel through a conductive path typically made of materials like copper wires. The movement of electrons creates an electric current that powers the circuit components.


How to measure current?

To measure current, you would typically use a multimeter set to the appropriate current measurement range. First, ensure the circuit is off, then connect the multimeter in series with the part of the circuit you want to measure the current flowing through. Turn on the circuit to get a reading of the current flowing through that part of the circuit. Remember to set the multimeter to the correct range for the expected current to avoid damaging the meter.


When a switch is closed in an electrical circuit do electrons flow through the conductor?

Yes, when a switch is closed in an electrical circuit, electrons flow through the conductor, providing the electrical current needed for the circuit to work. The flow of electrons is what generates electricity and powers the various components in the circuit.

What measures the volume of electrons through a circuit?

Current measures the flow of electrons through a circuit and voltage basically measure the amount of available electrons.


The measure of how difficult it is for electrons to flow through a circuit is called what?

The measure of how difficult it is for electrons to flow through a circuit is called resistance.Another AnswerResistance is not a measure of 'how difficult' it is for electrons to flow through a circuit. It is more accurate to describe it as a measure of whether a material can supportcurrent flow.For example, it's incorrect to say that an insulator 'blocks' current flow. It's more accurate to say that it has an insufficient amount of charge carriers to support an electric current.


Do You measure current across a circuit?

A current flows through, not across, a circuit. And, yes, you can measure it using an ammeter.


Is true if there is voltage in circuit there must be electrons flowing through the circuit.?

No. For electrons to flow, you need a current.


What is A measure of the number of electrons flowing through a circuit?

Amperage.


The term for the flow of electrons through a circuit is?

electric current


What is the constant flow of electrons through a complete circuit?

A current.


Is somthing that flows through an electric circuit an eletrical current?

Yes. Current consists of electrons flowing in a circuit.


Why does not it matter where you measure the current in a simple circuit?

The current measured at any point in a simple circuit will be the same because current is the measure of electron flow through a circuit. The current flowing through any branch of any circuit (or an entire simple circuit) will always be the same at any point.

Anything that opposes the flow of electrons is called?

A resistor is a component in a circuit that opposes the flow of electrons. It is designed to limit the current passing through a circuit.
