Current that cycles back and forth rather than traveling in only one direction?
altertnating currents
Why current density is vector quantity?
Current density is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude (amount of current flowing through a unit area) and direction (direction of flow of current). This direction is perpendicular to the surface through which the current is passing, making it a vector quantity.
What allows current to flow in one direction?
A diode is one of the fundamental building blocks of electronics. They allow the flow of electrons in one direction only. Thus are commonly used as rectifiers to turn ac voltages into dc. [A dry cell (mistakenly called a battery, which is a group of cells) will allow electron flow in one direction only, or rather, it will provide current flow in one direction. ]
What current model shows electrons traveling in specific energy levels around a nucleus of protons and neutrons?
The current model that shows electrons traveling in specific energy levels around a nucleus of protons and neutrons is the Bohr model of the atom. In this model, electrons occupy discrete energy levels known as shells and move in orbits around the nucleus.
Suppose that you're facing a straight current-carrying conductor and the current is flowing toward you the lines of magnetic force at any point in the magnetic field will act in?
A circular manner around the conductor, perpendicular to both the current flow and the direction to the observer. This creates a magnetic field that follows "right-hand rule," where your thumb points in the direction of current flow and your curled fingers show the direction of the magnetic field lines.
What is alternated current?
That refers to a current in which the direction of flow changes continuously. In household current, this usually happens at 50 or 60 cycles per second (depending on the country), but the definition of alternating current can include just about any other frequency, as well.
Are transverse waves faster than longitudinal waves?
In a given medium, transverse waves and longitudinal waves would generally travel at the same speed. The speed of a wave is determined by the properties of the medium through which it is traveling, rather than its direction of propagation.
What is the deference between Alternate current and direct current?
Direct current runs in one direction. Alternating current actually changes direction at a rate of 60 cycles (called Hertz, or Hz) a second in the United States and 50 cycles in Europe. A cycle is once in each direction. It's hard to imagine an object changing directions 120 times a second but this is what happens. We still talk of AC as flowing to a load in one wire and returning in another, which is what DC really does. And in your home or office this simplifies a rather complicated process. But in reality the electrons never flow that far before they turn around a go back the other way.
Why current flow in the opposite direction of flowing electron?
In conventional current flow, it is defined to be the direction that positive charges would move. Electrons, being negatively charged, move in the opposite direction. This historical convention was established before the discovery of electrons, and it has been maintained for consistency in electrical engineering and circuit analysis.
What is maximum current given to 8 ohm speaker?
A: is not current or voltage but rather the product that is of concern
Is voltage a vector?
Yes, although we call it a phasor, rather than a vector. This is because voltage has displacement, rather than direction.
Why was the English fleet able to defeat there Spanish Armada?
The weather changed on the Spanish ships and blew them out to sea rather than towards land. The tides in that area also change and the ships didn't know about the current moving in the wrong direction.
