What determines the direction of current flow through the neutral wire? What determines the value of the current through the neutral wire?
The direction of current flow is the direction in which electric charges move. In most cases, the direction of current flow is from the positive terminal of a battery or power source to the negative terminal.
The direction of current flow is determined by the direction in which positive charges would move if they were present in the circuit. This convention was established by Benjamin Franklin in the 1700s and is still used today.
Yes, current can flow in both directions in certain types of circuits, such as alternating current (AC) circuits. In these circuits, the direction of current flow changes rapidly, typically 50-60 times per second.
In most cases, the direction of current flow does not affect the function of a circuit. However, there are some components, such as diodes, that only allow current to flow in one direction, and the direction of current flow must be taken into consideration in these cases.
No, the direction of current flow is not the same as the direction of electron flow. In most cases, current is the flow of positive charges, while the actual flow of electrons is in the opposite direction. However, in certain types of circuits, such as electron tubes, the direction of current flow is the same as the direction of electron flow.
