What else can I help you with?
What is the direction of the magnetic force on the current in (a)?
The direction of the magnetic force on the current in (a) is perpendicular to both the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field.
What happens to the direction of a magnetic field around an electric current when the direction of the current is reversed?
The direction of the magnetic field around the electric current also reverses when the direction of the current is reversed. This is determined by the right-hand rule, where the direction of the magnetic field is perpendicular to the direction of the current flow.
In which direction will each compass point when there is a large current in the direction shown?
When there is a large current in the direction shown, each compass point will point in the same direction as the current.
What do you call current that does not reverse direction?
Direct current (DC) is the term used to refer to current that flows in one direction and does not reverse its direction. This is in contrast to alternating current (AC), which changes direction periodically.
The wind stirs up what current?
The wind can stir up ocean currents, particularly surface currents, increasing their speed and changing their direction. This can lead to a phenomenon known as wind-driven circulation, where the movement of water is influenced by the force and direction of the wind.
What does a surface current do when deflects?
When a surface current deflects, it changes direction.
What causes ocean surface currents?
A surface current is a current caused by wind direction
What causes the ocean surface current direction?
i think wind is responsible for current
How is a surface current different from a deep water current?
Different pressure levels will vary speed and direction
What causes the direction of current flow?
I assume you are referring to oceanic currents (instead of electrical current). Oceanic current is divided into 2 types: Surface Ocean Current -- affected by wind. Deep Ocean Current --cause by water density (mineral rich vs clearer water) and temperature gradient (differences in heat)
What are three factors that control the path that a surface current?
The three factors that control the path of a surface current are wind direction, the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), and the shape of the coastline or the presence of land masses. These factors influence the direction and strength of surface currents in the ocean.
How does a continent affect the movement of a surface current?
A continent can disrupt the flow of a surface current by acting as a barrier and forcing the current to change direction or split. This can create eddies, upwelling, or downwelling of water that can impact the speed and direction of the current. Continents can also influence the formation and intensification of currents by shaping the overall circulation patterns in the ocean.
What is cuurrent?
Not sure what a suface cuurrent is. In deep water, there often are currents that flow in different directions at different depths. A surface current will flow in one direction, near the surface, while there will be a current flowing in the opposite direction deeper down.
What is suface cuurrent?
Not sure what a suface cuurrent is. In deep water, there often are currents that flow in different directions at different depths. A surface current will flow in one direction, near the surface, while there will be a current flowing in the opposite direction deeper down.
What direction do most of the surface currents north of the equator move?
The current north of the equator moves clockwise.
Did reversing the direction of the electricity in the wire change the way compasses were affected?
Yes. If a current is reversed, the magnetic field is reversed as well.
In which direction does the surface ocean current flow off the west coast of the lower US and upper Mexico?
westward
