1. Increasing the voltage across a resistor, we increase the current which flows through the resistor. 2. The heat produced per second depends both upon the resistance of the conductor and upon the amount of current flowing through it. 3. Capacity is one of the important properties greatly effecting an electric circuit. 4. Using transformed you can increase or decrease the voltage of the alternating current. 5. The polarity of the poles does not change, those on one side being permanently of north polarity, those on the other side of south polarity. 6. Part of the energy being changed into heat, not all the chemical energy of the cell or battery is transformed into electric energy. 7. The crowded electrons on the link plate of the cell tend to move towards the copper one because of the electric pressure created. 8.
