Define potential difference as used in electricity​

Physics
2 answers:
mart [117]2 years ago

Potential difference is the difference in the amount of energy that charge carriers have between two points in a circuit. ... The energy is transferred to the electrical components in a circuit when the charge carriers pass through them. We use a voltmeter to measure potential difference (or voltage).

Answer:

This ability of charged particles to do work is called an electric potential.

Explanation:

When two negative charges are brought close to each other, they also repel. But when a positive and a negative charge are brought close together, they attract each other. When these two opposite charges are combined, they can be used to work. This is why we need a positive (+) and a negative (–) to light a bulb or run any electrical tool, equipment, mobile phone or home appliance.

Julli [10]

Answer:

It's true.

Explanation:

It's true. When we connect two resistors in parallel the current is divided between the two in such a way that the sum of the currents on each resistor should be equal to the current on that branch. By finding the equivalent resistance we can use Ohm's law to determine the voltage drop across the resistors. This voltage drop is the same for both, since they're connected in parallel.

In electronic circuits:______.
trapecia [35]

Answer:

(a), (c) and (e) s correct.

Explanation:

a. the power used by a circuit is the resistance times the current squared.

The power is given by P = I^2 R, so the statement is correct.  

b. electric and magnetic fields are transporting the energy.

false

c. electrons are transporting the energy.

The energy is transferred by flow of electrons. It is correct.  

d. the power used by a circuit is the voltage times the current squared.

The power is given by P  = V I, the statement is wrong.  

e. the power used by a circuit is the current times the voltage.

The power is given by P  = V I, the statement is correct.

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

The atoms ,molecules, or compound present at the start of a chemical reaction that parcitipate in the reaction are <u><em>the reactants.</em></u>

Explanation:

The chemical reaction is the way in which one substance reacts against another. So, a chemical reaction consists of the transformation of some substances into others, that is, the process of arranging atoms and bonds when chemical substances come into contact.

In a chemical reaction, the initial substances are called reactants, while the new substances obtained are called products.

So, <u><em>the atoms ,molecules, or compound present at the start of a chemical reaction that parcitipate in the reaction are the reactants.</em></u>
