How the severity of an electric shock depends on the current and voltage?
he severity of injury from electrical shock depends on the amount of electrical amperage (current) and the length of time the current passes through the body For example, 1/10 of an ampere (amp) of electricity going through the body for just 2 seconds is enough to cause death.
What happen when ac current passes through resistor?
it resists the flow of cuurent
Why must the instantaneous current wave be exact 90 degree out-of phase with the applied voltage waveform across an ideal inductor?
Because the voltage induced is proportional to the rate of change of current, and the maximum rate of change of current occurs at the point where the current waveform is 'steepest' -i.e. as it passes through zero. So, as the current passes through zero, the corresponding value of induced voltage is maximum, which means the voltage and current waveforms are displaced by a quarter of the wavelength, or 90 degrees.
Do charges move from a source of potential difference into a load or through both the source and the load?
As the circuit must be a closed loop, the current passes through both the source and load. If it was not a closed loop no current could flow anywhere.
How much current passes through the celling fan?
More information is needed to answer this question. Voltage, type of fan, horsepower of the fan or wattage of the fanareneeded to find what the current draw of the fan.
What happens when an electric current passes through steam?
Basically, if you fill a room with steam and pass an electrical current through it... Does anything interesting happen?
What happens to the electrical energy carried by the current when it passes through the filament of a bulb?
it stays there. the electricity travels back and forth through the filament until you turn the lighbulb off.
What happens to the electrical energy when it passes through a household device such as a blender or a toaster?
The electrical energy remains the same
When a current passes through a resistance what happens to the electric energy that is lost?
Becomes heat.
What if a current passes through solenoid If yes then what happens in the whole process?
Yes. DC can pass through. As it passes through then solenoid would act as if a bar magnet.
What happens when electric current passes through the acidulated water?
Water is dissociated in hydrogen and oxygen.
When current passes through a conductor what makes the conductor heat up?
The electrical resistance of the material. All materials have some electrical resistance except for superconductors.
When an electrical current passes through water what takes place breaking down the compound into hydrogen and oxygen?
A Chemical Change :)
What happens when electric current passes through a coil of wire?
A magnetic field generates around the wire.
If an electrical current passes through a conductor what two things are generated?
If an electrical current passes through a conductor, there is an induced voltage (because no conductor has perfectly zero ohms), resulting in power dissipation, and there is a magnetic field, which can interact with other conductors in the vicinity of the first.
How do you get electicuted?
Touching live wiresTouching water with an electrical current running through ithaving wet hands and putting your finger in an electrical socketTouching the wires of a pylonSticking a metal object in an electrical socketBeing struck by a bolt of lightning obviously.Having faulty electrical equipmentYou are electrocuted because the electrical current can pass through whatever body part touched the electric, the current passes through your body frying your nerves. Your body is a conductor meaning it will let electrical currents pass through and that's how you get electrocutedhope this answers your question
What is a iron box?
PRINCIPLE: It converts electrical energy into heat energy. It consist of a heating coil which gets heated and expanded when current passes through it viz thermostat. Thermostat acts as a switch and ,when the allowable temperature is reached it cuts of the current passes through it.
