SI unit of electric current?

Effect of temperature increase on conductor resistance?

Circuit with only one path?

Breaking rocks into smaller pieces?

Main agent of chemical weathering?

Two types of mechanical weathering?

The SI unit of electric current is the Ampere (A).
As the temperature of a conductor increases, its resistance generally increases due to greater lattice vibrations that impede electron flow.
A series circuit is one where the current has only one path to flow through, meaning that all components are connected end-to-end.

The relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit is described by Ohm's Law: V = I × R, indicating that voltage is the product of current and resistance.

The process by which rocks are broken down into smaller pieces is called weathering.
The main agent of chemical weathering is water, which reacts with minerals in the rocks and alters their chemical composition.
Physical weathering, also known as mechanical weathering, involves the breakdown of rocks into smaller pieces without changing their chemical composition.

Two main types of mechanical weathering include freeze-thaw weathering, where water seeps into cracks, freezes, expands, and eventually breaks the rock apart, and abrasion, which is caused by rock particles being worn away by friction or impact.
