An ampere is the unit of measure of the rate of electronflow or current flowing through a wire or other conductor. Ampere is often shortened to "amp". Technically one amp is the flow of one coulomb of electrical charge moving past a pointing one second.

Why generator produces only AC?

A generator produces electricity by moving wires through a magnetic field. The direction of the induced current is dependent upon the direction in which the wire crosses the magnetic field. In a generator the magnetic field is usually fixed - and the wires are spinning through it. So: Visualize a horizontal magnetic field. The axis of rotation of the wires is perpendicular to the field. Any given wire will be cutting up through the field at a given point... then, 180º later will be cutting down through the same field. The direction of the induced current will reverse with each half-rotation because the wire will be moving in the opposite direction relative to the magnetic field. (In the USA the generators produce "60 cycle" current. That tells you that the generators are turning their wires (coils) at 60 revolutions per second.) Richard yeaa buddie...Lickety splyt


What is conserved of electric charge?

Electric charge is conserved in any isolated system. This means that the total amount of electric charge in a system remains constant over time, even though it can be transferred between objects through various processes such as friction, conduction, or induction.


If potential is constant throughout a given region of space can you say that electric field is zero in that region?

No, the electric field does not necessarily have to be zero just because the potential is constant in a given region of space. The electric field is related to the potential by the gradient, so if the potential is constant, the electric field is zero only if the gradient of the potential is zero.


The direction of the electric field tells you what?

The direction of the electric field tells you the direction a positive test charge placed in that field would experience a force. If the field points away from a charge, a positive test charge would repel from it, and if it points towards a charge, the test charge would be attracted to it.

How many amps in 11.000 volts?

The voltage tells you nothing about the current flow in amps, it's only the pressure sending current through a circuit. If a 11,000 volt supply is not connected to anything, the current is zero.


Why is an ammeter called a tell tale?

An ammeter is sometimes called a "tell tale" because it is designed to provide a clear and immediate indication of the current flowing through a circuit. It "tells the tale" of the electrical current passing through the system by displaying the measurements on its dial or digital display.


What is the voltage drop across a 100 W resistor when the electric current flowing through it is measured at 250 mA?

Who can tell? The power rating of a resistor simply tells us the maximum power that resistor is capable of handling; it doesn't tell us anything about the actual power being produced for any given current. So, to find out the voltage drop across that resistor, you will need to find out its resistance, and multiply this value by the current you specify.


What unit tells you about the amount of electrons traveling in the circuit?

The unit for the amount of electric charge is the coulomb.The amount of charge that passes any particular place in one second is called the "current"; the unit is the ampère.

Why do you think esperanza tells lsabel that her current situation is temporary?

Esperanza tells Isabel that her current situation is temporary to provide her with hope and reassurance. By acknowledging that things will not always be as they are now, she is offering Isabel comfort and encouragement to persevere through challenging times. This highlights Esperanza's caring and supportive nature towards Isabel.
