think about it
OpenStudy (dan815):
what is a cathode
OpenStudy (anonymous):
negative terminal
OpenStudy (dan815):
okay so when you complete the circuit
OpenStudy (dan815):
what will happen between the cathode and the anode

what u mean?
OpenStudy (dan815):
an electron is ejected from the cathode and goes to the anode
OpenStudy (anonymous):
electron beam?
OpenStudy (dan815):
yes..
OpenStudy (dan815):
but you need a high enough voltage to displace an electron from the cathode

so when you are alternating the current during the lower voltages it will not displace an electron, this way you can control the time betweeen when your electrons are ejected, the frequency of your alternating current give you control on the frequency of ejection timings
OpenStudy (dan815):
an alternating current is a result of an alternating voltage and vice vera

question 1 b?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
beacuse high resistance right?
OpenStudy (dan815):
what do you think is the answer to b

high resistance where
OpenStudy (anonymous):
High resistance in the wire?
OpenStudy (dan815):
wire for what
OpenStudy (dan815):
You're going to have to be more clear if u want my help :)
OpenStudy (dan815):
I am not going to spoon feed you answers

Thick wires are used for lighting purposes because current is less?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
higher the resistance lesser the current right?
OpenStudy (dan815):
the question is actually saying thick wires are used for power circuits rather than lighting purpose
OpenStudy (dan815):
okay lets think about this a little, why does a lightbulb light up
OpenStudy (dan815):
what is that fillament in the lightbulb really
