The flow of electrons through a conductor is called?
electric current
Is the process of producing an electric current by moving a loop of wire through a magnetic field?
A current is induced in the conductor by the moving magnetic field (relative to the wire, the field is moving) I guess induction might be the term you are looking for.Another AnswerMoving a magnet through a loop of wire will induce a voltage, not a current, into a coil. If the coil forms a closed loop, then a current will result. But it's a voltage that's being induced, not a current -the current is merely the result of that voltage.
What happen when electric current is passed through water'?
when electric current is passed through acidified water hydrogen gas is released at the cathode..
Can moving electrons through a magnetic field can produce an electric current?
Electrons moving is an electric current. An electric current moving at an angle to a magnetic field will produce a Force.
What metal doesn't change when electricity goes through it?
Electric current is a flow of electric charge through a medium
What is a process of decomposition?
The process of decomposition of an electrolyte, by passing an electric current from an outside source through it, is known as electrolysis. For example, when an electric current is passed through acidified water, water is decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen.
The process of breaking a compound by passing an electric current through it and it is a 13 letter word?
electrolysis
Is the heating element on a stove a chemical reaction?
No. It is a physical process cause be passing an electric current through a wire.
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
The flow of electrons through a conductor is called?
electric current
How electric current causes magnetic field around conductor?
Electric current causes magnetic field around conductor by producing a moving electric charges and the intrinsic magnetic moments of an elementary particles that is associated with a fundamental quantum property.
What are electromagents?
Magnets that are turned on by passing an electric current through them, and turned off by not allowing an electric current through them.
Why steel becomes a permanent magnet after electric current is passed through it?
Electric current is magnetic so when electric current pass through steel , steel will have the electric power and may be magnetic for awhile

Which type of chemical reaction takes place when electric current is passed through water?
The process is called electrolysis, and it usually results in a decomposition reaction. For example, passing an electric current through water results in the reaction 2H2O --> 2H2 + O2.
What is the principle of electric motor?
An electric motor uses electrical energy to produce mechanical energy, very typically through the interaction of magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors. The reverse process, producing electrical energy from mechanical energy, is accomplished by an alternator, generator or dynamo. Many types of electric motors can be run as generators, and vice versa.
