Science - Current Electricity
Hi guys, welcome back to my blog. Hope you all are having fun during your lockdown but are also staying safe. For today's blog post I am going to be answering some questions that our Science teacher gave us to do. These questions are based on Current Electricity which means, An electric current that is a stream of charged particles, such as electrons or ions, moving through an electrical conductor or space. Here are the questions and my answers.
If there is a high current in a circuit what does this mean?
This means that if the voltage is high the current is high, and if the voltage is low the current is low. In the same way, if we increase the resistance, the current goes down for a given voltage and if we decrease the resistance the current goes up. But if the current flow gets too high, the fuse will melt. This will destroy the fuse but will protect the remainder of the circuit.
How does electricity work to heat up a stove?
An electric stove works through coils. Unlike gas stoves, Electric stoves don't produce a flame. Instead, a Electric current causes a heating element to activate. If your stove top has coils, The warmth will directly transfer from these coils to your cookware.
Where is DC electricity used? Where is AC electricity used?
Dc Aka Direct current is like the energy you get from a battery, Direct current is used in energy sources in many industries. It is most likely used in low voltage such as aircraft applications charging batteries etc.
Ac Aka alternating current is like the plugs in the wall . Alternating current is used to operate appliances (A item of equipment that uses current) for both household, Industrial and commercial use.
The big difference between Direct current and Alternating current is that DC is a flow of energy, and AC can turn on and off and alsoAC reverses the direction of electrons.
Thank you for reading my blog post!
Well done Khaylanie this is a well detailed blog. Your answers are very thorough, particularly on what happens when there is too much current. Your examples for DC and AC electricity also have very good information. The particle that carries charge in a circuit is called an electron which is the answer for the question you missed. Keep up the hard work, tino pai.
