Electron flow is what we think of as electrical current. We are familiar with two types of electron flow, Direct Current, or DC, and Alternating Current, or AC. Direct Current is the kind of electrical flow we get from batteries and solar cells, when electrons travel in only one direction. On the other hand, AC is the kind of electrical flow we get from a typical electrical outlet in a home. AC is when the electrons flow in two directions, from the positive to the negative terminal and from the negative to the positive terminal, 'alternating' between the two directions. (Your lights will light up regardless of the direction of the electron flow.) A lot of people think of electron flow as electrons moving along a wire freely like cars go down a highway. Actually, it works a little differently. Any conductor (thing that electricity can go through) is made of atoms. Each atom has electrons in it. If you put new electrons in a conductor, they will join atoms, and each atom will spit out an electron to the next atom. This next atom takes in the electron and spits out another one on the other side.
What else can I help you with?
In a circuit electric current is flow of?
It is a flow of electrons.
What type of energy results in a flow of electrons?
Electrical energy results in a flow of electrons. This flow of electrons is what powers electronic devices and electrical systems.
Air has been removed and electrons flow?
air has been removed and electrons flow
Is the flow of electrons currently in the circuit?
Yes, the flow of electrons is currently present in the circuit.
What gives electrons there electricity?
Electrons don't have electricity they only posses energy, Electricity is defined as the flow of electrons! In conductors the flow of valence electrons are called Electricity! therefore inducing a current in it! generally the direction of flow the current is the opposite of the direction of flow of electrons(D.C)!
Can electrons flow in conductors?
Yes, electrons can flow through conductors. Conductors are materials that allow the free flow of electric charge, such as electrons, due to their loosely bound electrons. This movement of electrons is what allows the flow of electric current in a conductor.
Does an insulator allow the flow of electrons?
Yes . Some insulators do allow the flow of electrons but most do not.
What can be created by forcing electrons to flow from atom to atom?
The flow of electrons from atom to atom is an electrical current.
What is electic current?
nucleons have electrons that may leave the orbit if enough EMF is present causing electrons to flow by placement. WHILE ELECTRONS FLOW ONE WAY LACK OF ELECTRONS FLOW THE OTHER WAY
What is and electrical current?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
Why do electric circuits need to use conductors?
Without conductors, electrons do not flow where you want them to flow. An electrical circuit is a flow of electrons.
Is electricity is amount of electrons?
Electricity is the flow of electrons
