Types of Current
How Many Types of Current are there?
The different types of current includes steady current, varying current, instantaneous current, direct current and alternating current.
Why the Copper wires used mostly as connecting wires?
For the flow of electrons, the copper wires are used as connecting wires because they offer low resistivity.
What is Ampere?
Ampere is the unit of electric current which is equal to the flow of one coulomb/second.
Which unit is used for electric conductivity?
Siemens/meter or mho/meter used for electric conductivity.
Which is called as reciprocal of conductance?
Resistance is called as reciprocal of conductance.
Types of Current
The movement of charged particles within a conducting medium is generally referred to as current. The term “charged particles” in relation to electricity primarily refers to electrons. The conducting material’s atoms have free electrons that can travel from one atom to another. The electrons move in a random manner. Alternating and direct current are the two main forms of current.
In alternating current, the current’s direction is reversed, whereas in direct current, electrons flow in one direction. In batteries, you can find direct current. In a battery, the electron always moves from the negative side to the positive side. Alternating current, on the other hand, can be used in televisions, kitchen appliances, etc.
