Answer:

The electric field can cause the electrons to move around. Through this influence on electrons, we can give a net direction to the motion of the electrons. This is how we generate an electric current

A conductor is an object that conducts electricity through it, the mechanism of conduction of electricity is that, the electrons present in the atoms of the conductor are in rapid motion, and when we apply some potential difference across it by using cell, battery or anything, it causes those electrons to move in a particular direction and we know electrons have negative charge on it which , so the movement of charge ( electrons ) through a conductor causes electric current.

So, from above we conclude that conduction of electric current through a conductor is only possible due to free electrons present in the conductor's atoms.

What is the momentum of a 200 kg truck travelling at 20 m/s?
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

p = 4000 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a truck, m = 200 kg

Speed of the truck, v = 20 m/s

We need to find the momentum of the truck. The formula for momentum is given by :

p = mv

so,

p=200\times 20\\\\p=4000\ kg-m/s

So, the momentum of the truck is equal to 4000 kg-m/s.

How must a fuse be connected in a circuit to prevent current from flowing when the circuit becomes ""overloaded""?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

The fuse must be connected between the device and the power intake source.

Explanation:

A fuse is a protective component of electrical appliances that is designed to be sensitive to a particular range of electric current

The fuse is made of a thing metal strip with a known melting point. Once current abive its carrying capacity flows through it, large heat is generated in the metal strip which melts it and causes the metal strip to cut int two protecting the device from the power spike.
