Amps Form increase Means

AI Thread Summary

An increase in current from 1A to 2A in a wire indicates that more charge is crossing a given area per unit time. This increase in current results in electrons moving faster through the conductor. The relationship between current and electron speed is direct; as current rises, electron velocity increases. Therefore, a higher current signifies a greater flow of electrons. Understanding this principle is essential for grasping electrical concepts.

Does that mean that the electrons are moving faster or what ?

If current increases in the same wire from 1A to 2A, electrons move faster. In general, current increases means amonut of charge crossing the area of cross section per unit time increases.

Thread 'Is space stretching or is new space being created?'

Do we even know? My understanding of dark energy is that particles come into existence, exert and outward force, then vanish. My problem with that is how, of course, then how does dark energy know to push everything in the same direction? The pressure exerted would be in all directions, even if the space was moving so why isn't stuff pushed all over the sky? Thanks - rev

Thread 'The Physics of unloading sand from a barge'

I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
