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.

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

C. 1 month

Explanation:

The moon orbits around the earth once in a time of 27.322 days and it also takes about 27 days to orbit around its own axis. Due to this the moon is not seem to be spinning and it always seems still to observer who is observing from the Earth.

The moon takes about almost 1 month to make 1 revolution around the Earth . It also takes approximately the same time to make one rotation about its axis. This is why we always see the same face of the moon.

A 200 kg roller coaster is located at the top of a hill where the height is 30 m. What is the velocity when it reches the bottom
maw [93]

Assuming it starts at rest, the roller coaster only has potential energy at the top of the hill, which is

E_P=(200\,\mathrm{kg})(30\,\mathrm m)g

When it reaches the bottom, its potential energy will have converted to kinetic energy,

E_K=\dfrac12(200\,\mathrm{kg})v^2

where v is its velocity at that point. By the law of conservation of energy, assuming no loss of energy due to other sources (e.g. sound, heat), we have

E_P=E_K\iff(6000\,\mathrm{kg}\cdot\mathrm m)g=(100\,\mathrm kg})v^2

\implies v=\sqrt{60g}\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}\approx24.2\,\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}

Boxes A and B are in contact on a horizontal, frictionless surface. Box A has mass 21.0 kg and box B has mass 8.0 kg. A horizont
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

2.75 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Box A has a mass 21.0 kg and box B has a mass 8.0 kg.

A horizontal force of 100N is exerted on box A.

Let a be the acceleration of the system. Using second law of motion,

F=(m_A+m_B)a\\\\a=\dfrac{F}{(m_A+m_B)}\\\\a=\dfrac{10}{(21+8)}\\\\a=0.344\ m/s^2

Now applying Newton's second law to box B. So,

F_A=m_Ba\\\\=8\times 0.344\\\\=2.75\ N

So, 2.75 N is the force that box A exerts on box B.
