Electrons move to the positive pole from the negative pole in an electric circuit. The electric current is a flow of electric charge that is often carried by moving elections in a wire in electric circuits.

∙ 13y agoIn a conductive material, the atoms have a number of electrons which freely move back and forth from atom to atom. When an electric potential is applied across the conductor, more electrons start moving in from the negative end. The extra negative charge repels the electrons that are already in the conductor, so they start moving towards the 'positive' end. Electrons are negatively charged, and like charges repel each other.
Because there are negatively charged particles (the electrons) moving from negative to positive, we conveniently say that 'current flows' from positive to negative (there are these imaginary positively charged particles), but this is just a concept which makes it easier to think about, and not actually how it works.

∙ 12y agoIt is often said that a current flows, but it would be more correct to say that the charges flow. The current simply "is".

What are moving electrons called?
Moving electrons or other charged carriers is called electricity. The amount of electrical pressure pushing the electrons is called the voltage. The number of electrons moving past some point in a given time is called the current. Electrons are subatomic particles (smaller than atoms) called leptons.
Device that produces an electric current by converting chemical energy into electrical energy?
battery
What peice of apparatus would you use to change chemical energy to electrical energy?
A battery uses a chemical action to produce direct current electrical energy.
What generates electrical energy from chemical energy?
A battery stores chemical energy creating a voltage or potential difference that is the potential to do work.When a battery is connected to an electrical device, current flow and is so the conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy.
What are some examples of chemical to electrical energy?
ex: mechanical energy * a running person * moving windmill * person throwing a ball ex: electrical energy * t.v * computer * toaster
True or false Moving current has electrical energy?
It is true that moving current has electrical energy.
Electrical energy is the energy of ________________?
Electrical energy is the energy in a current - which is basically related to moving charges.
The energy of moving electrical changes?
That is called an electrical current.
The energy of moving electric charges are called?
Electrical energy
What energy is moving electrons?
Kinetic energy. If you consider a larger scale, i.e., the electrical current, this is usually called electrical energy.
What energy is the energy of moving electrons?
The energy of moving electrons is electricity... Electrical current is the passage of electrons through a materials, usually metals. I find it amusing that the previous answer was gravity. I can only assume that was a joke and I hopefully one you didn't fall for.
What type of energy is carried by moving negative charges?
That is the electric energy. It is called the electricity
The energy of moving electrical charges?
Electrical energy
What is the energy associated with electric current is called?
Moving electrons possess kinetic energy, but the energy you are referring to is called electricity
What is the energy of moving electrical charges?
This Energy results in current flow in a conductor. This is called The Electromotive Force [EMF] - It causes the moving electrically charged particles to be propelled elsewhere.
What are moving electrons called?
Moving electrons or other charged carriers is called electricity. The amount of electrical pressure pushing the electrons is called the voltage. The number of electrons moving past some point in a given time is called the current. Electrons are subatomic particles (smaller than atoms) called leptons.
What type of electrical energy does turbines from a hydroelectric dam convert energy into?
It changes it because the water flows through a wheel, which is kinetic energy, when the wheel is moving it produces electrical energy.
