Inertia affects the flow

Answer choices

   Correct80% picked this

   The rate at which electrical current flows is affected

   Why this is right

   The first three statements combine to imply that inertia affects the rate that water flows in a closed circuit of pipes. Since the effects of inductance in electrical circuits is similar to the effects of inertia in water pipes, inductance affects the rate at which electrical currents flow.

   The flow of electrical current in a circuit

   This confuses the analogous relationship by bringing inertia into electrical circuits even though inductance plays the role of inertia in electrical circuits.

   Inertia in the flow of water pumped by an electrically powered pump is caused by inductance

   This suggests that inertia is caused by inductance. While inertia and inductance both affect the rate at which water and electricity flow respectively, to suggest that inductance causes inertia goes too far.

   When a water pump is switched off it continues to pump water for a

   This suggests that when a water pump is switched off the pump continues to pump water for a second or two, while the statements suggest that when a pump is switched off inertia causes the decrease in the water flow to be gradual. That doesn’t mean the pump continues to pump water.
