The cause of electric current in a wire is that there is electron flow due to electrical attraction and repulsion.

What is Electric current?

The rate of flow of electric charge through a point is known as electric current. The electric current is nothing but the flow of electrons in general.

Consider a space, when electrons of charge (e) is flowing through the space in a given time interval t. Then,

I = e/t

here,

I is the electric current.

Moreover, there is a flow of electrons in a wire due to a potential difference existing at the circuit. Due to that, electrons always flow from high electric potential to low electric potential.

Thus, we can conclude that the cause of electric current in a wire is that there is electron flow due to electrical attraction and repulsion.

Are switches connected in series or parallel with the devices they control?
andrezito [222]

In some unusual applications of unusual components, I can think of unusual electric circuits where a switch may be connected in parallel with a device in order to control it.  

But I'm sure this is not what's intended in a question on the high-school level.  

Until you get in a situation with tricky applications in a tricky circuit, your switches will always be connect <em>in series</em> with the devices they control.

What would be the escape speed for a craft launched from a space elevator at a height of 54,000 km?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: 3.63 km/s

Explanation:

The escape velocity equation for a craft launched from the Earth surface is:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Where:

V_{e} is the escape velocity

G=6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} is the Universal Gravitational constant

M=5.976(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

R=6371 km=6371000 m is the Earth's radius

However, in this situation the craft would be launched at a height h=54000 km=54000000 m over the Eart's surface with a space elevator. Hence, we have to add this height to the equation:

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R+h}}

V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.67(10)^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2})(5.976(10)^{24}kg)}{6371000 m+54000000 m}}

Finally:

V_{e}=3633.86 m/s \approx 3.63 km/s
