When the flow of a current is aways in one direction?
When the flow of current is aways in one direction it is known as direct current.
What is the direction of current due to flow of electrons if it is not conventional current?
The direction of current due to flow of electrons is opposite to the direction of conventional current. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so when they flow in a wire, they are actually moving in the opposite direction to the current flow defined by convention.
What additional factor will be change if the direction of a current flow is change?
direction of magnetic field
When using kirchhoffs current law if negative answer is found for current flow what does this indicate?
A negative answer in a Kirchhoff's Current Law calculation indicates that the assumed direction of current flow was incorrect. It suggests that the actual direction of current flow is opposite to the assumed direction. Therefore, the sign of the calculated current should be corrected to reflect the actual flow direction.
What is a current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction called?
A current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction is called direct current (DC). In DC, electrons flow continuously in one direction from the negative to the positive terminal of a power source.
What current that does not reverse its direction of flow?
Direct current (DC) does not reverse its direction of flow. This means that the flow of electrical charge in a DC circuit always moves in one direction, from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
Why is current a vector?
Current Density describe how charge flow at certain point since current density = I/A and the vector direction tells you about the direction of flow at that point.
What is the direction of flow of electric current in an electric current?
DC current
How can a polarity of an electromagnet be determined if the direction of current flow is known?
The polarity of an electromagnet can be determined by the right-hand rule. If the direction of the current flow is known, curl your right hand fingers in the direction of the current flow. Your thumb points in the direction of the north pole of the electromagnet.
In what circuit does the current flow in one direction and then in the opposite direction?
on a three way switch.alternating current.
The expression alternating current refers to which form of energy?
Alternating current is a flow of electrical energy in which the direction of electron flow reverses periodically. The mains electricity in your house is likely Alternating Current. The other form is Direct Current, where the direction of electron flow is in one direction only. Such as the flow from the batteries in your flashlight.
The what of an electromagnet is determined by the direction of current flow?
The polarity of an electromagnet is determined by the direction of current flow. When current flows one way, the magnetic field is oriented in one direction, and when it flows the other way, the magnetic field is oriented in the opposite direction.
