well a battery is a direct current and the currents that move in house wires is converted to direct currents.

What does a battery use to produce electricity?
a battery has potential ( voltage). without a circuit atatched to it nothing happens. But when used in an electic ciruit, like with a light bulb, current will flow(amps). current flow is what causes your light bulb to light. A battery has the pressure (voltage) so to speak to cause current flow. Generally, current flows from negative to positive ina complete circuit.
Something that will not let electricity flow through it is a?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. Bad conductor of current, or an insulator.
What elements allow electricity to pass through?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A circuit lets electricity flow through it.Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons. Conductors are metal, usually copper or aluminum.Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.Metals are good conductors. They provide little opposition (resistance) to the flow of currentNote that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A conductor lets electrons easily flow in it.
What 2 types of currents do you commonly refer to with electricity and what do they stand for?
the two types of electrical current are AC which stands for Alternating current and DC which stands for direct current. Battery current is direct current. The electrons in alternating current flow one way and then flow in the opposite direction.
How is called flow of electricity?
An electrical current.
Can electricity flow without a battery?
i think current cannot pass without battery.

Is voltage a flow of electricity?
no...current is a flow of electricity
What is and electrical current?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
What is a flow of electricity?
a current
Something that will not let electricity flow through it?
Something that does not allow current to flow is called an insulator. "Electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Note, current is the flow of electrons.
What within a cell causes the charge that allows electricity to flow through wires?
Corrosion of the metal plates in the battery cells drive current flow.

What is static electricity and current electricity?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow

What called the flow of electricity?
The flow of electricity is called the current. It is measured in Amps (I).Current is the flow of electrons around an electrical circuit.
Where does electricity get energy?
An electric current HAS energy. The energy comes from whatever caused the electric current to flow in the first place - for example, a generator, or a battery.
