Ammeter
A tiny resistance tweak in ammeters preserves circuit integrity while measuring current
2 hours ago
0
Why must an ammeter have low resistance when connected in series to a circuit?
To increase the current flowing through the circuit for better measurement
To avoid causing a significant voltage drop that would alter the current being measured
To measure voltage instead of current accurately

Electrical Resistance
The invisible battle between electrons and resistance shapes every electric device's fate
22 hours ago
0
How does electrical resistance affect the flow of electric current in a conductor?
It accelerates the flow by providing a pathway for electrons.
It opposes the flow by causing collisions that convert electrical energy into heat.
It has no effect on current flow but only changes voltage levels.

Electric Arc
Electric arcs create plasma channels that glow brighter and hotter than ordinary sparks
6 days ago
0
Why does an electric arc require a lower voltage to sustain compared to a glow discharge?
Because the electrodes in an arc are always cooler, reducing resistance.
Because the plasma formed by the arc provides a highly conductive path that maintains current flow with less voltage.
Because an electric arc is just a stronger spark with no difference in electrical properties.

Electrical Insulation
Tightly bound electrons in insulators hold the key to safe electricity flow
14 days ago
0
Why do electrical insulators prevent the flow of electric current?
Because their electrons are tightly bound and cannot move freely between atoms.
Because they contain free electrons that carry current easily.
Because they have low resistivity allowing electrons to flow without resistance.

Electrical Conductivity
Electrical conductivity reveals how materials enable or resist the flow of electric current
27 Jan 2026
0
How does the atomic structure of metals contribute to their high electrical conductivity?
Metals have free electrons that can move easily through the lattice, facilitating electric current flow.
Metals have tightly bound electrons that prevent current flow, increasing conductivity.
Metals have a high number of protons that attract electrons, reducing conductivity.
