<u>Voltage:</u>

It is basically the difference between the charges of the materials on the ends of the Wire

<em>also known as potential difference</em>

It is very similar to the movement of air, it moves from higher density to lower density. in this case, the change in density is the potential difference

So, since voltage is the difference between the charge available on the ends of a wire. Even if the wire splits in parallel circuit, the difference of the charges remains the same

<em>the more the potential difference, the faster electrons will move to the material with lower charge</em>

<u>Current:</u>

Current is the amount of electrons moving through a cross-section of a wire in a period of time

So basically, it is the amount of electrons that move across a given point on a wire in a period of time

If the wire splits, we will have the same amount of electrons moving through as they would if the wire was not split but now, the electrons passing are divided and hence, if we measure the current after the split, we will find that we have a lower current

that's because we have less charge moving through the cross-section of the wire since some of those electrons are moving through a different wire

That's why the current splits in a parallel circuit

The what’s the difference does it mean velocity and vector Quantity is the same
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

No they are totally different...

Velocity is displacement/time. while vector is both magnitude and direction.....

Velocity is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction

How is thermal energy naturally transferred between objects?
Sladkaya [172]

The second law of thermodynamics establishes restrictions on the flow of thermal energy between two bodies. This law states that the energy does not flow spontaneously from a low temperature object T1, to another object that is at a high temperature T2.

For example. Suppose you place your cell phone on the table. Your phone is at a temperature of 40 ° C and the table is at 19 ° C. Then, it is impossible for the table to spontaneously transfer its thermal energy to the telephone, and so that the table gets colder and the telephone warmer.


Finally we can say that the correct option is B: From the hotter object to the cooler object
