What is the measurement that the force pushes an electric current in a circuit?

Power is basically the voltage times the amps where more of either is more power.
Think of electricity traveling down the wire like water flowing in a pipe:
Voltage is like water pressure (pushing force)
Amps is like the flow rate (like gallons per minute)
Watts (amount of power used) is like how many gallons of water has moved through the pipe.
Voltage is like the water pressure
Current is measured in amperes (symbol: A), which is defined in terms of the force between two, parallel, current-carrying conductors, due to the interaction of their magnetic fields.

∙ 12y agoWhen is was first discovered it was called Electro Motive Force. Even today EMF is used is formulas. Today the force is called Voltage. In formulas the two wordings can be interchanged but the answer will still remain the same.

driven by voltage force.

What pushes the current around the circuit?
A voltage supply is needed to operate a circuit.
What is the energy source that pushes electrons around a circuit?
current i think just ask you bro
What is the force that pushes 2 magnets apart?
Electric force of repulsion.
Does voltage play a role in an electromagnet?
Voltage is the "pressure" that pushes electrons thru a circuit, higher voltage means more current, or amperes. Amperes and the number of turns of wire in the magnet control the force of the magnet
What pushes current through a circuit?
Voltage pushes current through a circuit. A good example of how this works would be water pressure and flow. your faucets at home as long as they are closed have water pressure on them but no flow. You open a faucett and the water starts flowing pushed by the pressure. The voltage is represented by the water pressure and the Current (amps) is represented by the water flow.
What pushes electricity through a circuit?
the current
What pushes the current around the circuit?
A voltage supply is needed to operate a circuit.
When dangerously high current flows through this overheated metal pushes the switch open to create an open circuit What is this?
A circuit breaker.
What is the energy source that pushes electrons around a circuit?
current i think just ask you bro
What is Drawn a model of electricity to explain how the circuit works using the terms current and voltage correctly?
the voltage pushes
What happens to the currents in a circuit?
a cell pushes electric currents around a circuit.If there are two or more cells then more currents will flow through them.
The available source of charge that pushes a charge through a circuit is?
The available source of charge that pushes a charge through a circuit is voltage.
What is the process taking place in a battery?
The electrical pressure is created inside a battery and it provide the voltage which creates orr pushes current to flow in the circuit.
What is the job of the power source in the circuit?
it pushes and pulls the electrons trough the circuit
What are the two common sources of electrons in a electric circuit?
The electrons are always there, for example in the metal. You don't need a special "source" for electrons in a circuit. What you DO need is a voltage source, i.e., something that pushes the electrons around.
In a series circuit what happens to the current if you increase the number of components in the circuit?
The current (amps) will remain constant, but the voltage will drop.
What is a power sources job?
it pushes and pulls the electrons through the circuit
