Electric current - a movement or flow of electrically charged particles, typically measured in amperes.
In a conductor, current flow is via a drift of free electrons in the metal. the actual drift rate may be slow, the electric field that drives them itself propagates at close to the speed of light, enabling electrical signals to pass rapidly along wires.

Electricity can flow through a conductor because it allows the electrons to move freely through the object. With an insulator, electrons cannot move.

When does electricity flow through a solid electrical conductor?
When the two ends of the conductor are connected to a source of EMF, electricity flows through it.
Is the the human tissue a conductor or conduction?
It is a conductor. Conduction is the process which occurs when electricity flows through a conductor.
What do you call a pathway through which electricity flows from one of a cell to the other?
a conductor
How well electricity flows through a material?
Depends on the material. The electricity can flow through metal better then it can through wood because wood is a conductor of electricity (example).
Will the electricity flows from the conductor safely to earth?
Yes, electricity will flow safely from the conductor to earth. But only if it's in contact with the earth directly or through another body.
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.
What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a circuit?
The voltage source is the source of the electricity. The conductor is what the electricity flows through to reach its destination. Example: A battery is a voltage source and an electrical wire is the conductor.
One important effect derived from electricity?
electromagnetic field around a conductor when ever current flows through it.
How does it eletricity flow?
Electricity flows through a circuit. There has to be a conductor that will pass the electric current from one point to another.
What is the path which electricity travels called?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
When electric currnet flows through a conductor then temperature of conductor will?
increase
How electricityflows in a circuit?
Circuit has three components which electricity passes through. First is the power source, the supplier of electricity in a circuit. Second is the conductor that includes the wiring, switches, and any component that control the flow of electricity. Lastly is the load, or the devices that consumed the electricity. In conclusion the electricity flows from source to the conductor then to the loads.
