How is voltage different than electrical current?
Voltage is the cause and current is its effect. Voltage is the potential difference between two points. When charges flow due to this potential difference, we say that current is flowing.Voltage and current can be compared to a water reservoir with tubes connected to the outlet, the reservoir is the supply. Now, voltage is compared to the pressure of the water at the outlet of the reservoir, and current compared to the the volume of the water that flows through the tubes, the thicker and shorter the tubes, the less the resistance and larger the volume of water passing through the tubes. To measure voltage, a volt meter is connected across the output terminals of the supply; to measure current (in units of amperes), one of the wires connecting a circuit to to the supply is cut, and a ammeter is connected to the two ends; or if there is a switch in the circuit it can be switched off, and the current can be measured across the terminals of the switch. The best way to measure current is by using a clamp type ammeter.Voltage (sometimes called electric potential difference) is the electrical driving force set up by an electric potential difference. There are several ways to create an electric potential difference, but in any case, it is voltage that causes current flow if there is some kind of circuit or current path to support the flow. Current or current flow is the actual movement of electrons through the branches of a circuit when voltage (the "motivational force" that causes current flow) is applied.---
How many milimeters are in one liter?
Millimeter and liter are different measures. The correct answer to this question would be there are no millimeters (distance) in a liter (volume). However, there are one thousand millilitersin a liter.
Halstead's Software Science?
Halstead proposed the first analytic laws for computer science by using a set of primitive measures. these can be derived once the design phase is complected and the code is generated. these measures are listed below * n1= number of distinct operators in a program * n2= number of distinct operands in a program * N1= total numbers of operators * N2= total number of operandsBy using these measures,Halstead developed an expression for overall program length,program volume,program difficulty,development effort and so on.Program length (N) can be calculated by using equation:N = n1log2 n1 + n2log2 n2Program volume (V) can be calculated by using equation:V = N log2(n1+n2)Note that the program volume depends on the programming language used and respesents the volume of information (in bits) required to specify a program.Volume ratio (L) can be calculated by using the following equation:---- volume of the actual programWhere value of L must be less than 1. Volume ratio can be also calculated byProgram difficulty level (D) and effort(E) can be calculated by equations: D = (n1/2)*(N2/n2) E = D * V
How do you convert volume per hour to volume per day?
Some volume/hour (24 hours/1 day) = some volume/day =======================
Would increasing the diameter of only the accessible part of a heating pipe increase the overall flow through that branch of the system or will it limited to the narrowest non accessible bit?
Flow will only be what comes through at smallest point. Volume will increase, but not flow.
Which part of the atoms contains most of its volume?
An atom's electrons are distributed through most of its volume.
What instrument measures the volume of a screw?

What measures gas and electricity usage?
The usage is measured by gas and electricity meters. A gas meter measures the volume of gas passing through. An electricity meter is an energy meter which measures the kilowatt-hours use.

How do circuits work step by step?
1) Electrons flow from a positive to a negative voltage source. 2) The path taken by the electrons through the circuit depends on the resistance of the various circuit elements. 3) Sensors attached to the circuit provide real world inputs and outputs. 4) All circuits are made using transistors. Transistors act like taps. Open the tap with a small amount of effort (a few electrons) allows a large volume of water (a large number of electrons) to flow. Analog circuits (e.g. Amplifiers) work by varying the amount of how open the tap is. Digital circuits (e.g. Computers) work by switching taps fully on or off.
