Is the electric current in a metal conductor is carried by positive ions?
Yes
What electron carried the current in a metal conductor?
The valance electrons.
The electric current in a metal conductor is carried by?
Valence shell electrons. A metal is formed from a lattice of positive ions in a sea of delocalized electrons. These electrons are the valence shell electrons of the metal atoms and they are the ones that carry the charge during conduction.
What metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
aluminum, copper,
Is wet metal a conductor?
Yes, metals when wet conduct electricity/electric current.
What shiny metal is a good conductor of thermal energy and electric current?
Tranition metals
Which metal serves the best conductor of electric charge?
the metal that serves as the best conductor of electric charge is the METAL
Why is it dangerous to stick a metal knife into an electric outlet?
Metal is a conductor and the electricity will easily flow through it.
What will happen if a paper clip made of metal is placed in an electric circuit?
Metal is an excellent conductor of electricity. So a metal paper clip placed in an electric circuit will conduct whatever current may be in that circuit. If the current is very large, the paperclip may get hot.
Can lead coated with gold particles become a conductor of electricity?
The metal lead is already a conductor: it is used on battery connections in automobiles. However, a coating of gold would make it a better conductor of electric current.
What is the magnet formed by the flow of electric current?
When electric current flows, a magnetic field is formed via induction. When copper wire, or another conductor is wrapped around a metal core, it forms an electromagnet.
Explain solidification of molten metal in Electrical discharge machining process?
The electric current spalls metal into the machining liquid, and the metal cools to form metal "dust" that is carried away by the liquid.
