Steady flow of electrons?
elelctric current
Why are the cables attached to the pylons with the glass connectors rather than metal ones?
Glass is an insulator and will not allow a current to flow through it. With metal, which conducts electricity, the current would flow through them to the towers and cause short circuits,
What actually moves when an electric current flow?
Electrons move in electron current flow.
What is the conventional current flow?
Conventional current flow is the flow of positive charges, or the equivalent flow of positive charges. That is, if what flows is really negative charges (for example, an electron), which flow in one direction, the "conventional current" flows in the opposite direction.
Why must a circuit be closed in order for a current to flow?
A circuit must be closed in order for a current to flow because it helps keep a current flow pass. When the switch is closed on a circuit there is a constant flow. When the switches open the flow is disturbed around the circuit.
What is applied to a conductor to cause current flow?
voltage is applied to a conductor to cause a current flow
How does voltage cause current to do work?
A voltage will cause electrons or other charge carriers to flow (if there is a path through which they can flow). In other words, it will cause a current.

Can Magnetism cause an electric current to flow in a conductor?
Yes, a MOVING magnetic field will cause electric current to flow in a conductor. Conversely an electric current flowing in a conductor will cause a magnetic field.
In which ocean do equatorial currents flow?
The warm, low salinity waters from Pacific are transported into Indian Ocean's South Equatorial Current.
Does lightning cause the air to break down and cause current flow?
A: Lightning is not the cause but the result when clouds or dust particle containing energy discharges its energy. Current will flow from positive to negative potentials
A thermohaline current is a current which is affected by?
Temperature and salinity
An increase in ocean salinity can increase what creating a current?
An increase in ocean salinity can increase density creating a convection current.
How current are made?
You cause the current to flow through an electronic device that allows current to flow in one directionbut not in the other direction. Such a device is called a "diode" or a "rectifier".
Which has greater salinity a deep current or surface current?
wat
How do we usually think of voltage as the cause and currents the effect?
You apply a voltage across a load and the result is that a current flows through the load. So you must have the voltage present, the cause, before current flow, the effect. Think of voltage as pressure and current as flow.
How does voltage cause current to work?
Voltage provides the "pressure" to push current "flow" through the circuit resistance.
