Do electrons flow from the positive to the negative terminal of a wet cell?
Electrons have a negative charge. For that reason, electrons will always flow in the opposite direction of the current, which flows from positive to negative. Electrons will therefore move from a negative terminal to a positive terminal when we look at the load on a cell. Within the cell, the electrons will flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
Copper is a good conductor of electricity because its electrons are what?
The copper (the positive protons) hold the inner negative electrons securely, but the outer most negative electrons of the copper atom are easily disloged and become free electrons, apply a potential difference (volts) between terminals of say a car battery, and the terminals are joined by copper wire then electrons will flow from one terminal to the other - the electron flow is from negative to positive terminal.Hope this helps I have just answered the question simply!
How current flow from positive to negative terminal in cell?
DC current. Some experts argue that indications show that electrons flow from negative to positive (According to current arguments), but it is assumed generally that electrons flow from positive to negative.
Why electrons flow in negative to positive direction?
Electrons are negatively charged particles. The reason the negative side of your D battery is negative is because that's where the free electrons are. The positive terminal is starved or has a deficit of electrons. The negatively charged electrons naturally want to fill the 'holes', in atoms lacking an electron on the positive side. Thus electron flow is from negative to positive. Conventional current flow assumes that current flows out of the positive terminal, through the circuit and into the negative terminal of the source. This was the convention chosen during the discovery of electricity. They were wrong!
Electrons can move through objects.?
yes they can move through inanimate objects.
Why do electrons move the negative end of the tube to the positive end?
Why do electrons move the negative end of the tube to the positive end
Why do electrons move from negative end of the tube to the positive end?
Electrons have a negative charge and are attracted by the positive end.

What is the effect of the reverse bias on the width of the PN junction?
The holes and electrons move away from the junction and attracted towards the terminals as the positive polarity is connected to the n-side and negative polarity to p-side.
In a wet cell electrons move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode?
A wet cell refers to a primary electric cell wherein the electrolyte is a liquid. It is true that in a wet cell, electrons move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode.
Why does negative charge move and not positive?
An isolated positive and negative can move for example in an electric or magnetic field. But in metals only the electrons can move since the positive charge is bound to the metal lattice by attractive forces.
What kind of charge can move from object to object?
Electrons can move from object to object. Electrons have a negative charge. So if an object is determined to have a positive charge, then some of the electrons have moved from the object to somewhere else. Something with a neutral charge has the same number of electrons [-] and protons [+]. If electrons [-] leave, then there will be more protons, and a net positive charge. If an object gains electrons, then the object has a net negative charge.
