An electric current is usually thought of as a flow of electrons. When two ends of a battery are connected to each other by means of a metal wire, electrons flow out of one end (electrode or pole) of the battery, through the wire, and into the opposite end of the battery.

A parallel circuit is:?

A circuit in which electricity has more than 1 path to flow.


Do insulators have lower resistance than conductors?

On the contrary, insulators have higher resistance than conductors. Resistance refers to resisting a flow of electricity, making it more difficult for electricity to flow. Conductors conduct electricity, they make it easy for electricity to flow. Insulators prevent the flow of electricity.


Is dirty water a good conductor?

Dirty water can conduct electricity better than clean water because impurities in the water, like minerals and contaminants, can provide a pathway for the flow of electrons. However, it is not as efficient as metal or saltwater in conducting electricity.


Can you produce hydro power from a 30 feet high and 80 feet long canal syphon under a river?

Electricity can be produced wherever there is water flow. Water flow is more intense than it is producing more electricity.


Thin wires resist electricity more or less than thick wires?

A thin (smaller diameter) wire resist more electricity than a thick (larger diameter) wire. Just like a larger pipe will allow more water to flow than a smaller pipe, a larger wire has more cross-sectional area to allow more current to flow.


Will a parallel circuit work if 1 switch is open?

Yes. There are more than 1 paths for electricity to flow.


Is electricity a negative charge?

A negative electrical charge occurs when you have more electrons than protons (electrons are negatively charged, and if you have more -'s than +'s the overall charge will be negative).


Can electricity pass through fabric?

Yes, electricity can pass through fabric. The ability of fabric to conduct electricity depends on its composition and weave. Some fabrics may offer more resistance to the flow of electricity than others.


Is the potato best conductor of electricity than a lemon?

No, a lemon is a better conductor of electricity than a potato. This is because the citric acid and water content in a lemon make it a better electrolyte compared to a potato, allowing for the flow of electricity more efficiently.


What process produces more energy-the anaerobic pathway or the aerobic pathway?

The aerobic pathway produces more energy than the anaerobic pathway. Aerobic respiration generates a much higher yield of ATP molecules from glucose compared to anaerobic fermentation. Anaerobic metabolism is a less efficient process that produces ATP without the use of oxygen.


Is a block of wood a conductor?

No, wood is an insulator rather than a conductor. Conductors allow electricity to flow through them easily, while insulators restrict the flow of electricity. Wood's high resistance to the flow of electrons makes it unsuitable for conducting electricity.


The extrinsic pathway of blood clotting occurs much quicker than the intrinsic pathway true or false?

True. The extrinsic pathway of blood clotting is triggered by external factors and occurs more quickly than the intrinsic pathway, which is initiated by internal factors.
