Electricity produces work when the electrons in a conductor?
Electricity produces work when the electrons in a conductor
What happens to the electrons in a conductor when there is a potential difference between the conductor's ends?
The free electrons in a conductor will, when a difference of potential (voltage) is applied at its ends, participate in electron current flow (or just current, if you prefer). The voltage applied to the conductor will drive current through the conductor, and the free electrons will support current flow. These electrons will actually move through the conductor. As electrons are driven into one end of the conductor, the free electrons "shift over" and electrons stream out the other end of the conductor. This is the essence of current flow in conductors.
Does a conductor has many positive electrons?
No, a conductor does not have "positive electrons". Positive electrons are positrons, particles of anti-matter. A conductor, because if it's atomic structure, allows electrons to flow more freely from one atom to the other, thus creating electricity.
What are negatively charged particles emmited from a nucleus at a high speed called?
it is electrons
Why is steel a conductor?
because it stole a conductor, it is conductive because the steel has extra electrons and when extra electrons get introduced to the steel, it releases its electrons and takes in the new electrons and this happens in a continually
Which is encountered by the electrons while flowing through a conductor?
Usually resistance is encountered by electrons while flowing through a conductor.
Materials with many free electrons are considered what?
Electrical Conductor
How is the movement of electrons in a conductor related to the formation of magnetic field?
how is the movement of electrons in a conductor related to the formation of a magnetic field
What determines how effective a conductor will be?
Number of electrons determine the coductivity of any conductor greater the number of electrons greater is conductivity
Can protons and electrons be in the same conductor?
No
What is the name for a positively charged conductor through which electrons flow into a device?
Anode The name for a positive charge conductor through which electrons flow into a device is called the life conductor.
Is nitrogen an electrical conductor?
No Nitrogen is a non-metal an is therefore a poor conductor of electricity because there is no where for the electrons to flow and there are no free electrons
