No. It is more like one electron bumping into the next electron - passing along its energy.

What Elements in the same row are filling up the same energy level as you move from left to right?
They have the same number of shells (or energy levels).
Do electrons from a battery reach the bulb before it lights?
No, electrons from a battery don't reach the bulb before it lights. An electric current is not simply a flow of electrons. Rather, an electron in a circuit will move only a short distance and then nudge another electron into motion, which will do the same thing with yet another electron. So while the current moves through the entire circuit, individual electrons do not unless it is left on for a very long time.
The differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?
In a series circuit, electrons flow through all the components one after another. If one fails (break), the whole circuit is no longer live. All the resistances are also added up in a series circuit. The current (measured in amps) is the same throughout the whole circuit. In a parallel circuit, electrons flow through smaller circuits all coming from the same source. The amperage is different in each circuit based on the resistance offered. The one wire running to all the smaller circuits has higher current than any of the small offset circuits. Removing one thing will not affect the other smaller circuits as electrons can still flow. Current will be affected, of course.
Difference between series and parallel circuits?
The answer to this question is that in a parallel circuit there is more that one circuit or form of energy the circuit. In a series circuit there is only one form of energy in that circuit. Hope this helped you and gave you the answer!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3 :) if you look at a diagram of a parallel circuit, it looks like a ladder, where as a series circuit diagram looks like a rectangle <><><> "What are the differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?" In a series circuit there is only one path for the electric current to flow. If this path is broken, then the current will no longer flow and all the devices in the circuit will stop working. So if you hook up a bunch of light bulbs together, and one goes out, they all go out, and that can be a problem. In a parallel circuit there is more than one oath for the electric current to pass through. The current continues to flow through the other paths. So if one light bulb goes out of 20 goes out in a parallel circuit, they won't all go out, unlike a series circuit.
Why the voltage in parallel circuit is the same across each circuit?

Why does not it matter where you measure the current in a simple circuit?
The current measured at any point in a simple circuit will be the same because current is the measure of electron flow through a circuit. The current flowing through any branch of any circuit (or an entire simple circuit) will always be the same at any point.

What do the elements have the same number of as you move left to right?
electron shells
The circuit is a series circuit because?
The same current flows through both light bulbs.If one of the resistors run out of power,the whole circuit shuts down
Does an electron have the same speed as a proton?
Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds. However, since a proton has about 1800 more mass than an electron, the same voltage will make an electron move faster than a proton.Both electrons and protons can travel at different speeds.

As you move across a period elements have the same number of?
Electron shells
Can you shut off one appliance at a time on a parallel circuit?
Only if you install separate switches for each part of the circuit. The whole point of a parallel circuit - is that both parts of the circuit are controlled by the same switch.
Why positive ions have more protons than electrons?
To conduct electricity we have to move electrons around in circuit. Metals have a large electron pool so battery mostly have electrolytes which imparts enough energy to electrons so that they can move around in the circuit. It not possible to single out protons out of the nucleus. Answer. There aren't. If the battery has a neutral charge there are the same number of each. Even if it is fully charged the positive terminal exactly balances the negative.
How magnetism is created by moving charges?
The whole point of magnetism IS moving charges. We have permanent magnets, because of the same electron "current" orientation, the same electron spin or any other moving charge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_magnetic_dipole_moment
How electron moves inside bacterial nanowire?
At this moment, there would be two tentative theories which could be explained in the followings: 1. From Dr. Lovley: electrons move in the same manner as electron movement inside metal wire. 2. From Dr. Tender: electron move in a superexchange manner, i.e. a brigde molecule or mediator needs to involve in that movement, or as Dr. Lovley called "electron hoping"
