What is the potential difference in an electrical circuit a measure of?
the voltage at a specific location in the circuit
Electrons flow from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. A high voltage indicates a high concentration of electrons that creates a greater potential for electron flow than a low voltage. When applied to a load, voltage creates electricity and potential difference is the measure of voltage at a specific location in an electrical circuit.
Which of the following can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others?
semiconductor
Semiconductors have valence shells that are exacly half full and can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others. This property makes them useful for the control of electrical current.
Solve for z:
-6z + 9 = -7 + 7z
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.
-6z + 9 = -7 + 7z
-6z = -7 + 7z - 9
-6z - 7z = -7 - 9
-13z = -16
z = \( \frac{-16}{-13} \)
z = 1\(\frac{3}{13}\)
