How do you know when electric current is flowing in a lightbulb circuit?

The direction of an electric current is by convention the direction in which a positive charge would move. Thus, the current in the external circuit is directed away from the positive terminal and toward the negative terminal of the battery. Electrons would actually move through the wires in the opposite direction.

How do mass and speed affect kinetic energy?
Lunna [17]
The mass affects the kinetic energy because the more the mass the more energy is given to the object and the speed<span> affects by making it go faster and longer, so whenever speed goes up so does energy.</span>

How must a fuse be connected in a circuit to prevent current from flowing when the circuit becomes ""overloaded""?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The fuse must be connected between the device and the power intake source.

Explanation:

A fuse is a protective component of electrical appliances that is designed to be sensitive to a particular range of electric current

The fuse is made of a thing metal strip with a known melting point. Once current abive its carrying capacity flows through it, large heat is generated in the metal strip which melts it and causes the metal strip to cut int two protecting the device from the power spike.

Please Help On These 2 Questions!!!!! I severely need help!!!!!!

3. In a uniform electric field, the equation for the magnitude of the magnetic field is E=(V/d). V= voltage d= distance. If the magnetic field magnitude is constant , as stated in your problem, then the voltage must stay the same otherwise the value of "E" would change". And the problem already told us the "E" is uniform and so, not changing. Does that make sense?

4a. If the magnetic field lines are equally spaced apart, in other words share the same density. Then we know that the magnitude of the magnetic field is unchanging. This is because the density of of the magnetic field lines(how many are in a certain area) is related to the magnitude being expressed by the electric field. Greater magnitude is expressed by the presence of more lines (higher line density) 

4b. The electric potential is measured in Volts(V) and is uniform along  the same equipotential line. What is an equipotential line(gray)? It is a line drawn perpendicular(forms a right angle with) to the magnetic field lines(black) to show the changes in electric potential. One space where electric potential will always be the same because it will always be equal to 0 Volts is exactly in between a positive and negative charges of equal charge value I have pointed to this line with a purple arrow in my picture.

I really hope this makes sense to you and that my pictures help! :)

A mercury thermometer is used to measure the temperature of boiling water.<br>Why?​
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

It has very high density, so a small bulb of a thermometer can contain much mercury. Mercury remains liquid state over a quite wide range of temperature because it freezes at 39°C and boils at 357°C.
