What the unit for electric current

The unit of electric current is the Ampere.

1 Ampere of current means that if you set up your chair and
stare at the electrons flowing past one point in the circuit, you'll
see 1 coulomb of charge passing that point every second.

How will you recognize 1 coulomb of charge ?
Well, every electron carries the same amount of charge, and
we know how much that is.  (Read about the Millikan oil-drop
experiment in 1909.)  So we know how many electrons it takes
to carry 1 coulomb of charge past the point you're watching.

All you have to do is count the electrons as they zip past.
Every time you count  6,241,509,343,000,000,000 electrons,
you can tick off 1 coulomb of total charge that they're carrying.
If you reach that count every second, you know the current
passing that point is 1 Ampere.

Mechanical energy that has been ‘lost' to friction isn't really lost. It just is no longer in its mechanical form. True or False
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The two (2) main types of energy are;

a. Gravitational potential energy (GPE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.

b. Kinetic energy (KE): it is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Furthermore, the mechanical energy of a physical object or body is the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy possessed by the object or body.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

Mechanical energy = G.P.E + K.E

Mechanical energy that has been ‘lost' to friction isn't really lost. It just is no longer in its mechanical form. This is ultimately in accordance with the law of conservation of energy, which states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be converted or transformed from one form to another.

Hence, Mechanical energy that has been ‘lost' to friction isn't really lost but converted into heat energy.

disa [49]

Answer:

In mitosis, the products are identical to the parent cell, while in meiosis the products are different from the parent cell.

Explanation:

Mitosis replicates DNA at the beginning of the process, so it's always the same, but Meiosis uses a special process called crossing over which causes two chromosomes to swap information, which means that the DNA has changed.
