Students are building basic circuits in their physics class and they are asked to measure the current running through their circ

uit which includes a battery and a single resistor. Which of the following will they need to do to get an accurate reading for current?
A. Students will need to use a voltmeter and touch it on either side of the battery to measure the current.
B. Students will need to use a voltmeter and touch it on either side of the resistor to measure the current.
C. Students will need to use an ammeter and touch it on either side of the resistor to measure the current.
D. Students will need to make the ammeter a component built into their circuit so that electrons flow through it to measure the current.

Answer: option D

Explanation: students will need to make the ammeter a component built into their circuit so that electron flow through it to measure the current, by doing so, they have to connect the ammeter in series with the resistor hence making the same value of current flow through both the ammeter and the resistor.

The value of current on the ammeter is the value of current in the resistor which is the value of current flowing in the circuit as a whole.

Answer:

Students will need to make the ammeter a component built into their circuit so that electrons flow through it to measure the current. The correct option is D

Explanation:

Electric current can be defined as the flow of charge through a wire in a region. The electric current can create light used in bulbs and magnetic fields used in inductors and transformers. The Standard International (S.I) unit for electric current is Ampere. The instrument used for the measurement of electric current is an AMMETER.

In the construction of a basic circuit, which is complete and closed path through which electric current can flow, the following is needed by the physics student:

-an energy source (AC or DC),

-a conductor (wire),

-an electrical load (device), and

-at least one controller (switch).

When asked to measure the current that is flowing through the circuit, an AMMETER needs to be introduced which will be built into their circuit so that electrons flow through it to measure the current. I hope this helps thanks.

A long wire carries a current toward the north in a magnetic field that is directed vertically downward perpendicular to the sur
xenn [34]

The direction of the magnetic force on the wire is west.

The magnetic force acting on the moving protons acts northward in the horizontal plane. If the thumb is up (current flows vertically up), the wrapped finger will be counterclockwise.

Therefore, the direction of the magnetic field is counterclockwise. Here, the magnetic field is pointing upwards (vertical magnetic field) and the electrons are moving east. Applying Fleming's left-hand rule here, we can see that the direction of force is along the south direction.

As the change in magnetic flux increases upwards, Lenz's law indicates that the induced magnetic field of the induced current must resist and the inside of the loop must be directed downwards. Using the right-hand rule, we can see that a clockwise current is induced.

What is a rarefaction?
shutvik [7]

Answer:

Rarefaction is the reduction of an item's density, the opposite of compression. Like compression, which can travel in waves, rarefaction waves also exist in nature. A common rarefaction wave is the area of low relative pressure following a shock wave.

In any vector space au=bu implies a=b ? Trou or False​
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

(I guess if it were written "properly" it would be ax=bx implies a=b).

Given the axioms we were given, it would seem that the statement should be true, no?

A related statement -- also listed as false -- is that "in any vector space, ax=ay implies that x=y." Again, given the axioms we have.

Calculate the peak voltage of a mains supply of 240Vrms.​
pashok25 [27]
Answer:

So 240V RMS is equivalent to 339 V peak, or 679 V peak to peak and can be written as 240 Vrms. (the formula is Vrms = Vmax / √2). The waveform is a sinusoid varying about a neutral, which can also be drawn as a vector with a single arrow pointing away from neutral.
