The movement of electrons through a conductor is called?

The motion of electrons is called elecricity. Electricity is used to represent the liberated out put by the movement of electrons.


Any magnetic properties occur?

at the atomic level because of the movement of electrons


What process generates a current by moving an lctrical conductor through a magnetic field?

Magnetic induction. If you have conductor, then there are these free electrons bouncing back and forth between the atoms. They move in random directions and there is no unified movement which we could detect as electric current.From the Lorentz force of a charge moving through a magnetic field, we have the force as F = qv x B. Where v and B are vectors. The force will be perpendicular to both the velocity and the B field. Its magnitude is qvB*sin(Θ). So if your conductor is moving in a magnetic field, then those free electrons will experience a force accelerating them in a perpendicular direction.To give a sense of this, if the wire is laying flat on a paper running left and right, and the magnetic field lines are coming up out of the paper, if you move the wire in the up direction (on the page) then the electrons will be forced to move towards the right (along the conductor).


Why the wood is not good conductor?

A conductor is something that allows for the movement of tiny charge carrying particles called electrons across the surface. The specific elements that make up wood and the way that its molecules are arranged don't allow for ease of movement of electrons across its surface.


How are magnet forces caused?

All magnets, whether permanent or electromagnetic, are caused by the movement of electrons. In electromagnets, the electrons flow along the electrical conductor. In a permanent magnet, the electrons are spinning (as electrons are wont to do) and this causes the magnetic field. No moving electrons = no magnet. The magnetic field of the Earth is caused by electrical currents flowing in the magma, and aligned roughly parallel to the Equator. This alignment is probably caused by the inner core rotating slightly faster than the earth's skin. Due to the tidal drag of the Moon.

what is responsible for electricity?

Electricity is the movement of electrons between atoms. It is inexorably linked to magnetism (and light) - moving electrons create a magnetic field and a magnetic field will cause electrons to move in a conductor and when electrons lose energy light is created.


What is produced whenever there is a flow of electrons in a wire?

Why is it as important to have insulators as it is to have conductors?

In the context of electricity, if everything was a conductor, we wouldn't be able to generate electricity as the movement of electrons induced by the magnetic field in the generator would just be dissapated into the rest of the deivce!


When there is no current passing through a conductor you say magnetic field is zero but in a conductor charges are in motion then why is there no magnetic field?

When there is no current passing through a conductor, charges are stilll in motion, but they are disorganized and not flowing. The magnetic fields by all of those random movements cancel each other out. That is why there is no magnetic field in a conductor with no current, even though there is movement in the charges.

It is called, "electric current", and is measured in "Amperes".
