Electricity, this may be electrons in a direct current. In an alternating current the electrons stay where they are and it is only the energy that moves between electrons.

Is it necessary to have cell in electric circuit?
A cell basically works as a producer of a potential difference in the circuit which is necessary for the electrons to travel in a region. Therefore using this principle we can understand that almost anything that can produce a PD can be used in an electric circuit. The best example would be of emf through EM induction of the Faraday's experiment
Why do electrons travel through atoms but protons do not?
Bcoz protons r inside nucleus and protons r outside nucleus and properties of element depends upon them.
Why are two wires used to allow electric current to flow instead of a single one?
Because the current must always travel in a complete loop, going through the circuit and returning to the supply. A current can't travel along only one wire so no power would get to the circuit unless it has two wires.
Does electric charges travel only through wire?
There are 2 questions in this : 1: if it is about material... A: No electric charges can also travel through all the conductors of electricity like water, humans, animals, metals etc. 2: if it is about area in which electric charges pass through... A: No, If current is AC then it travels on the surface of the wire, and if the current is DC then it travels through the wire evenly.
What does short circuit mean?
A short circuit condition is caused by the grounding of the circuit anywhere from the distribution point to the load of a circuit. This grounding causes a high rush of current because of a low resistance of this type of circuit. This high rush causes the over protection device to trip and interrupt the current flow.
The pathway taken by an electric current is a?
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
What is short circuit?
Short circuit is the case when electricity, instead of travel through the design circuit path, jump across an unintended low resistance path and bypass the design circuit.A short circuit is a path for an electric current to travel through where there is very little resistance. This path is often, but not always, through a wire connected directly to a ground, and is often, but not always, unintentional.
Can electric charges travel through wires?
Electric charges can travel through solids, liquids, or gases. They can travel through conductors, insulators, and semiconductors.
How Does Electric Current Travel through a Circuit?
Current flows through a circuit in the forms of electrons. They are drawn to the positive end of the circuit and propelled by the negative end of the circuit.
Can electric charges only travel through wires?
Electric charges can travel through solids, liquids, or gases. They can travel through conductors, insulators, and semiconductors.
What is arc resistant?
The electric current will not travel from one end of the circuit to another.
What particles can travel through the ATP syntheses channel?
Protons. :) -sources mastering biology

How does electrical energy travel around a circuit?
It doesn't. Energy doesn't travel 'around' a circuit. It travels from the supply to the load. And it isn't delivered to the load by the current. It doesn't even travel through the wires. It travels as a result of what is called the 'Poynting's Field' which acts perpendicularly to both the electric and magnetic fields.
What is closed pathway through which electricity can travel?
a circuit.
What kind of circuit can electricity travel through?
"closed"
In what type of circuit does eletricity travel when it does work?
Electric energy powers appliances such as a radio or light bulb. It travels in a CLOSE CIRCUIT.
