What is the job of a wire in a torch?

To conduct the flow of electrons/electricity from the battery to the bulb and back.


What determines the strength of the magnetic field when current flows through a conductor?

Magnetic fields currently flows through a conductor is determined by multiplying the number of turns of wire by the current flow. This is what causes electricity.


Electricity is the flow of?

The definition of electricity is the flow of charge. Usually our charges will be carried by free-flowing electrons. Negatively-charged electrons are loosely held to atoms of conductive materials. With a little push we can free electrons from atoms and get them to flow in a generally uniform direction. A closed circuit of conductive material provides a path for electrons to continuously flow. The charges are propelled by an electric field. We need a source of electric potential (voltage), which pushes electrons from a point of low potential energy to higher potential energy.


How was the current electricity produced?

ELECT. CURRENT IS BASICALLY THE FLOW OF ELECTRONS FROM ONE POINT TO ANOTHER POINT IN THE CIRCUIT. IN, AC IT IS "PUSHED" THROUGH THE WIRE BY THE MAGNETIZED COIL. ELECTRONS ARE AFFECTED BY MAGNETISM. IN DC, ON PART OF THE BATTERY HAS LESS ELECTRONS THAN THE OTHER. WHEN THESE TWO ARE CONNECTED, THE ELECTRONS FLOWS TO THE HUNGRIER ATOMS. THESE PRODUCES CURRENT OR ELECTRICITY IN THE WIRE.


Why do people use resistors in an electric circuit?

we use resistors in an electric circuit to describe how a wire works and to control the flow of electricity
