Your question is not entirely correct; the current model does not show electrons traveling around a nucleus, but rather, surrounding a nucleus in the form of a cloud. Traveling electrons would necessarily emit photons and lose energy, and would therefore spiral into the nucleus. The current model is quantum mechanics.

What type of current will a circit that involves a battery and electrons traveling in one direction have?

That is DC - direct current.


Is each atom made up of neutrons and electrons?

It is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are found moving around the outside of the nucleus. This is known as the "electron cloud" since the electrons move around randomly. The most current atom model is the Quantum Mechanical Model, if this helps.


Is the current model of the atom a theory or a fact?

The fact is that the simple model of a nucleus containing neutrons and protons surrounded by electrons is correct.


What type of current will a circuit that involves a battery and electrons traveling in one direction have?

a battery always produces a direct current.the electrons always travel from the negetiove to the positive terminal.But the direction of the current is the opposite that is from the positive to the negetive terminal.


What is the most current model of how the atom is constructed?

The most current model of how the atom is constructed consists of electrons in constant motion around the nucleus, like waves in a probability field. Protons and neutrons vibrate inside the nucleus and quarks vibrate inside the protons and neutrons.


Is there electrons in protons and neutrons?

No. Electrons, protons and neutrons are all considered to be separate elementary particles. Each one of these particles is made up of even smaller particles. Note, though, that the each of the particles - electron, proton, and neutron - are not made up of each other. So, there are no electrons in protons nor neutrons. Note that in physics, particles are thought of as very, very tiny points of matter. Current theory - called "String theory" - says that rather than tiny points of matter these 'particles' are actually string like objects. This, however, does not change the answer as given. There are still no electrons - made up of quark 'strings' - in protons and neutrons.


Do neutrons move in an electric current?

no


What type of particle carries an electric current through a wire?

Electrons being free to move, they carry current through metal. But as electrons have negative charge they move right from negative end to positive end. But conventionally we consider electric current has to flow from +ve end to -ve end. Hence conventional current is always opposite to the direction of flow of electrons.


Is an electric current the movement of negative charges called electrons?

The force moving electrons in electricity is called resistance. The electrons move toward a path of least resistance. The current is the actual movement of the electrons in a specific direction.
