What is the word for the flow of electric charge through a conductor?
hungarera
If a large enough electric field is applied how does an electric conductor become an insulator?
If a very large electric field is applied on a conductor then a phenomenon of a dielectric breakdown takes place and it looses all its charge carriers to the nearest conductor. Hence becoming an insulator.
What allows an electric charge to pass through it easily?
A conductor. This is due to free electrons.
What happens when an isolated conductor is statically charged?
The charge is evenly spread inside and outside
What are three facts about electric field lines?
1. Electric field lines of force originate from the positive charge and terminate at the negative charge. 2. Electric field lines of force can never intersect each other. 3. Electric field lines of force are not present inside the conductor, it is because electric field inside the conductor is always zero. 4. Electric field lines of force are always perpendicular to the surface of conductor. 5. Curved electric field lines are always non-uniform in nature.
When an electric charge moves through a conductor there is an electric in the conductor?
current
Which metal serves the best conductor of electric charge?
the metal that serves as the best conductor of electric charge is the METAL
Which part of a circuit is a current?
Current is the flow of electric charge or the rate of the flow of an electric charge through a conductor.

Is a conductor a thing that electric charge can flow easliy through?
Yes, that's the definition of "conductor".
If a conductor is placed in a uniform electric field does the conductor gain any charge?
The conductor will not gain any charge that is not placed on it by you. However, the electric field will displace the free charges already within the conductor (by its nature) such that there will be a non-uniform surface charge density. Remember: a conductor must have zero electric field inside it, so the charges rearrange to cancel the external E-field. Again, this only repositions the existing charge, but it does not add or remove any charge.
A substance that lets electric charge pass through it is known as what?
A Conductor.

What electric charge crates a magnetic field?
Moving charges produce magnetic fields.Answer 2In other words, when the charge moves along a conductor it creates an electric current. The current induces a magnetic field around the conductor.
If a large enough electric field is applied how does an electric conductor become an insulator?
If a very large electric field is applied on a conductor then a phenomenon of a dielectric breakdown takes place and it looses all its charge carriers to the nearest conductor. Hence becoming an insulator.
What allows an electric charge to pass through it easily?
A conductor. This is due to free electrons.
What is an electical current?
Electric current is simply the flow of free electrons in a conductor. It is usually defined as the rate of charge flow, because the free electrons represent an electric charge.
