What causes an electric current in a wire?

Physics
1 answer:
VashaNatasha [74]3 years ago
3 0

Well let's analyse.

First we know Ohm's law of resistance that states:

R=\dfrac{U}{I}

Where R is resistance, U is voltage and I is current.

If we express current we get:

I=\dfrac{U}{R}

Because resistance cannot be equal to 0 (violation of mathematical law) the only thing that may cause current being zero is voltage.

Which means that as long as your voltage is bigger than 0V then there will be current (if we are talking about AC).

So to answer the question: Electric current is caused by voltage and regulated by resistance.

Hope this helps.

3000 N is exerted for 4.0 seconds on a 9500 kg object.<br><br> What is the change in momentum?
WARRIOR [948]
Force is the change in momentum over a specific time. The change of momentum is therefore the force multiplied by the time that the force acts, so 3000x4.0=12000 N s=12000 kg m/s

which of the glass lenses above, when placed in air, will cause rays of light (parallel to the central axis) to converge?
777dan777 [17]

Convex lenses when placed in the air, will cause rays of light (parallel to the central axis) to converge.

Converging lenses, commonly referred to as convex lenses, have thicker centers and narrower upper and lower margins. The edges are outwardly curled. This lens has the ability to concentrate a beam of parallel light rays coming from the outside onto a spot on the opposite side of the lens.

The image created is referred to be a genuine image when it is inverted relative to the object. On a screen, this kind of image can be recorded. When the object is positioned at a point farther than one focal length from the lens, a converging lens creates a true image.

A virtual image is one that cannot be produced on a screen and is formed when the image is upright in relation to the object. When an item is positioned within one focal length of a converging lens, a virtual image is created. It creates an enlarged image of the object on the same side of the lens as the image. It serves as a magnifier.
