Orbitals. Not to be confused with orbits. They don't actually move in 'paths' either. Due to their nature, you cannot determine the exact location of an electron and still know where it will be next. (See "Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle")
Orbitals actually are mathematical functions which describe the probability of finding an electron in a given space.
Orbitals, or shells. There are probably other names out there, but those are the most common. "Shell" is being taught in schools.

In this model, the electrons move or orbit around the protons that are at the center of the atom. Electrons move around the nucleus, which contains the proton, in orbits that have a definite size and energy.
The alternate paths are said to be "in parallel" (with one another).
Scientists concluded that electrons occupy specific energy levels by exciting atoms of different elements with UV light and watching the light emitted as the electrons fall back to ground state. Different elements had different characteristic emissions each time.
Generally, a circuit with multiple paths is called "parallel" because of the structure of the wiring involved. Parallel circuits have identical voltage on all paths, while current through each path is variable; whereas series circuits, having only one path, has constant current, but variable voltage.
By 'moving charges' I assume you mean 'electrons'. The electrons will move in a random fashion whether we're talking about DC or AC. However, the electrons will move in 1 general direction in DC while they will move back and forth in AC. one pathway
the paths of moving electrons are called rings or shells
The protons and neutrons are at the centre in a mass called the nucleus and the electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular paths called orbits.
Electrons are said to occupy orbitals, around the atomic nucleus. They do not actually orbit in the manner that planets orbit the sun; they spread themselves out, as an electron cloud, and surround the nucleus rather than moving in an orbit.
Electrons orbit the nucleus in specific shells. The K shell is the closest to the nucleus, and is followed by the L, M, N, O, and P shells, which move further out as the letter increases.
In energy shells around and outside the nucleus of an atom!!!!
In this model, the electrons move or orbit around the protons that are at the center of the atom. Electrons move around the nucleus, which contains the proton, in orbits that have a definite size and energy.
ya, i think it is in definite paths around the nucleus.

Bohr proposed that an electron is found only in specific circular paths, or orbits, around the nucleus.
professor NEILS BOHR postulated from his discrete electron orbit theory that electrons get caught in imaginary orbits around the atomic nucleus.
