What is helium made up of?
Helium is a very light element that is a gas at normal temperatures. Almost all helium atoms contain 2 protons and 2 neutrons and can be made from protons in nuclear fusion within stars, and in thermonuclear explosions. Helium nuclei are one form of decay of radioactive elements, being released as "alpha particles."
Is somthing that flows through an electric circuit an eletrical current?
Yes. Current consists of electrons flowing in a circuit.
What flows from atom to atom to make electricity?
electrons...
What large river flows through Memphis?
The Mississippi flows through Memphis.
The Columbia river flows mostly through which state?
the Columbia River flows mostly through the stae of Washington
What flows through wires?
Electrons
What particle moves when electricity flows through a circuit?
Electrons
When an electric current flows through a long conductor does each free electron move from one end of the conductor to the other?
atom's are made up of protons, neutrons and electrons. protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged, and neutrons have no charge. electrons orbit the the positively charged nucleolus and are held tight in orbit because of the nucleus. electrons farthest from the nucleus are called free electrons, and are free to leave. copper is a good conductor because the free electrons are not strongly attracted to the nucleus. a battery has excessive electrons on on side(neg), and not enough on the other side(pos). connect a copper wire between one side, thorugh a load, and to the other side, and free electrons move from one atom to another, like balls bouncing off each other in one direction, as long as this difference in electrons from one point to another exist. thus we have a current flow.........
What are the tiny particles that move through wires when a current flows?
electrons
How electric current flows through solid?
moving conduction band electrons
Heat flows easily on what material?
Heat moves easily through materials with delocalised electrons, that is electrons which are free to move through the substance. This happens in metals and graphite.
How are electrons related to electricity?
because electrons are the only particles that can move in an atom. so when current flows through a circuit it is really electrons moving
Why it can be said that matter has an electric nature?
Well, matter is atomic by nature, and probably tiny quantum energy strings. Matter is "electrical" in the sense that the outer shells of elements swap electrons to form compounds with atomic bonds.

What flows through wires that are hooked to a battery?
Electrons flow through wires that are hooked to a battery. The battery's negative terminal repels the electrons, while the positive terminal attracts them.
When an electronic current flows through a long conductor each free electron?
The free electrons moves through a relatively short distance.
Is somthing that flows through an electric circuit an eletrical current?
Yes. Current consists of electrons flowing in a circuit.
