What causes current flow?
Current flows due to gravity. Example is the water current on a river. Wind is also another factor that causes current to flow, just like ocean water.
Why secondary terminal voltage decreases with increase in load?
An increase in load (equivalent to a decrease in resistance*) causes an increase in load current. This increases the internal voltage drop within the transformer, and the terminal voltage reduces accordingly.[*An increase in load means more current is being drawn by that load, so an increase in load is equivalent to a decrease in load resistance]
What are the differences between emf and voltage drop?
emf and voltageAnswerElectromotive force is the potential difference created by a source, such as a battery or generator, when it is not connected to a load -in other words, on 'open circuit'.Voltage drop is the potential difference across a load, such as a resistor, which causes current to flow through that load.A voltage drop occurs, internally, in batteries and generators, when they are supplying a load. The battery or generator's terminal voltage, when supplying a load, is its e.m.f. less its internal voltage drop.
How does the regulator control the output to the battery?
the regulator monitors battery or system voltage and adjusts current flow or magnetic field to the rotor. The magnetism of the rotor causes power to be generated in the stator. This supplies power to run the vehicle ands charge the battery. In other words the regulator adjusts the magnetic power required to make electricity. In operation it keeps vehicle system voltage to between 14.0 to 14.7 volts.
Does a discharging battery can cause health problems?
Not a 'discharging' battery. Depends on the type of battery. A lead acid battery gives off Hydrogen when 'charging', which could be hazardous to health, if a spark causes it to explode. A 'discharged' battery can have an impact on it's own health. Best to keep them charged.
What causes current to flow from one terminal of the battery to the other?
Current flows from negative to positive. The current flows because of OHM's law. Click the link.
What causes the negative terminal on a battery to heat up?
A bad connection or heavy draw.
What causes a deposit of turquoise powder on the negative terminal of a car battery?
corrosion of copper, from battery acid vapors, most likely.
How do battery terminal anti corrosion rings work?
They absorb the sulfuric acid fumes which causes corrosion.
What causes a posite current in a battery?
A electrical from a battery is the flow of elecrons through a circuit in the opposite dirrection to the current flow. This current flow also happens inside the battery between the plates.
When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
When wires are connected to the terminals of a battery. what causes electric current in the circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
Does a battery supply the electrons in an electric circuit?
No, is it incorrect to say that a battery produces the charges that circulate in a circuit. Some might suggest that a battery is a current source, but the battery should most properly be considered a voltage source. It generates the electromotive force (emf or voltage) that causes charges to move. (It does this through electrochemical reactions.) The charges that circulate in a circuit (which might be termed the current flow) are already in the conductor and components. All the battery does is produce the voltage (the force) to move charges. Let's look at current flow and see why things might be best looked at in the manner we've stated.Note that the way a battery moves charges is to "inject" an electron into the circuit where it is tied to the negative terminal of that battery. The electron causes one electron in the circuit at the terminal to "move over" and that will cause another electron to "move over" and so on. This will continue until the "last electron" in the circuit at the positive terminal of the battery leaves the circuit and "goes into" the battery. Current flow in the circuit is like musical chairs with electrons everywhere in the circuit "moving over a space" to cause the current flow.Having gone through all that, it should be easier to see why a battery probably should not be considered the producer of charges that circulate in a circuit. Rather, the battery is the source of the voltage that drives the charges (the current) in the circuit.
How does internal resistance affect operation of a cell or battery?
It causes the battery's voltage to drop when a current is drawn from it.
What effects causes the difference in terminal voltage between the increasing and decreasing field excitation current?

What causes the battery to drain on a 2000 mitsubishi galant after five minutes when the car is shut off no alarm?
Bad battery? Bad Voltage regulator Disconnect the - battery terminal Install a test lamp between the - battery terminal and - battery cable--if light lights there is an extreme parasitic load on battery Remove 1 fuse at a time from the fuse block until the light goes out. This will at least tell you which circuit needs further investigation
When wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in the circuit?
The voltage (V) between its terminals. ~Gabby
