What is Ampere's force law?
C. Block, English Professor
Answered: Dec 17, 2018
Ampere's force law presents that the force of attraction or repulsion between the two wires carrying currents is equivalent to their lengths and the magnitude of current passing through them. If...Read More

Why does current passing through a wire create a magnetic field?
J. Harty, Writer
Answered: Dec 17, 2018
Current flowing in a wire produces a magnetic field around the wire. In a coil, the field from the adjacent turns is the same direction, so it adds up. That is why a coil of wire makes a much...Read More

Are voltage and current inversely proportional?
C. Block, English Professor
Answered: Dec 17, 2018
Voltage and current tend to be proportional. It is better to understand that voltage is the force that causes the current, which is the electromotive force. Energy is pushed like pressure pushes...Read More

How is current in a circuit measured?
C. Block, English Professor
Answered: Dec 17, 2018
To measure current, you must place the two leads of the ammeter in the circuit so that the current flows through the ammeter. The ammeter must become the part of the circuit itself. The only way...Read More

How does current flow through a medium?
J. Harty, Writer
Answered: Dec 17, 2018
The stream or rate of electric charge in a conductor or medium between two points having a deviation in potential is generally expressed in amperes. Current flow is due to the difference of...Read More
