While determining the coefficient of viscosity of the given liquid, a spherical steel ball sinks by a distance . The radius of the ball is . The time taken by the ball to sink in three trials are tabulated as shown:
Current electricity is defined as the flow of electrons from one section of the circuit to another.
There are two types of current electricity as follows:
The current electricity whose direction remains the same is known as direct current. Direct current is defined by the constant flow of electrons from a region of high electron density to a region of low electron density. DC is used in many household appliances and applications that involve a battery.
The current electricity that is bidirectional and keeps changing the direction of the charge flow is known as alternating current. The bi-directionality is caused by a sinusoidally varying current and voltage that reverses directions, creating a periodic back-and-forth motion for the current. The electrical outlets at our homes and industries are supplied with alternating current.
