Electrical current flow in a copper wire is measured with an ammeter. It is either clamped onto the wire or attached at one end to monitor the amount of current moving through the wire.

What things are insulated?
An insulator is a material that does not allow electrical current to flow freely.some materials are better then other copper is the cheapest most effective per cost ratio conductor of electricity............( allows current to flow with relative ease) plastics glass ceramics all are poor conductors of electricity(electrical current doe not flow freely) there for can be used for insulation, for safety and control of electrical flow.
A flow of electrical charges is known as an?
A flow of electrical charges running through a medium is known as an electrical current.
An electrical current will always flow?
yes
What is flow of electrical charge called?
current
Can electrical current flow through concrete?
Yes
How electrical resistance can be measured in copper and aluminium?
Same as for any other substance: Apply a voltage and measure the current flow. (Resistance equals voltage divided by the current flow.)
What do amps measure in a circuit?
Amperage or Amps is a measure of is the flow rate of electrical current that is available.
What is the unit to measure the opposition to the flow of electrical current called?
Answer: Inductive reactance is the opposition to the change in current in an electrical circuit and is abbreviated Xl. Answer: The opposition to current flow is called resistance (for DC), or impedance (for AC; often just called resistance); the unit for both is the ohm.
How is the electrical power of light bulbs is measure?
By taking the voltage across the bulb and multiply by the current flow.

Which unit of electrical does the work in a circuit?
Current flow The answer you are looking for is Amperes or Amps. They are used to measure current flow and Amps do the actual work as they move electrons throughout the system.
What materials will conduct the flow of electricity?
While electricity doesn't flow, current does. Conductors are materials that allow the electrical currents to flow through them. Metals are the best conduction, such as silver and copper.
What does an electrical current flow in?
Electrical conductors.
What does a load do to the flow of electrical current in a series circuit?
A load increases the flow of electrical current in a series circuit. No load, no flow.
What do you call the measure of electrical pressure?
Electrical pressure is the difference in electrical potential between two points with or without current flow. Without current flow it known as an EMF (electro motive force E) with current flow it is described as a potential difference (pd V). Both are measured in volts (symbol V).
Difference between electrical current and electrical charge?
current is the flow of charge.
Th flow of an electrical current be?
The flow of an electrical current be -- Coulombs per Second or Ampere hours per hour.
