The flow of electrons is a lot like flow of fluid particles(say water particles). This is based upon the so called "hydrostatic analogy" of electrical circuits.

Static electrcity is electrons that are not moving?

The flow of electrons is called "current", just like the flow of water in a river.The word "static" means unmoving or stationary.


In a circuit electric current is flow of?

It is a flow of electrons.


A path along which electrons can flow?

electrons can flow through circuits.


Why is electricity sometimes described as a flow of electrons?

Flowing electrons makes electricity (they flow from negative to positive. ). You need a circuit or a path for the electrons to move through, a power source like a battery or a generator, and something to use the electricity, like a light bulb...


What is directionality in electronics?

Probably in reference to electron flow. Electricity knowledge is based upon a theory. It is suggested that electrons flow in a wire although we cannot see them FLOW. It is generally accepted that electrons flow from positive to negative, although experts in the field suggest they may flow in the opposite direction. There is a lot of controversy over this theory of electron flow.


Electricity is the flow of which subatomic particles?

Electricity is the flow of electrons across a conductor. A conductor can be many things, copper is one of the most efficient. Voltage is what moves the electrons. It works like the pressure that pushes water through a hose.


What do electric currents look like?

You can't see a flow of electrons, which is what a current is.

Electricity is stored electrical charge electricity is the actual flow of electrons?

Electricity is the flow if electrons. Volts is the force per charge. Amps is the speed of the electrons. A battery acts like a pump pushing around electrons already in the wires so it doesnt provide them.


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)!


Is glass insulator or conductor?

Glass is an insulator, as it DOES NOT conduct current. It is a material which has no free electrons available to flow as electrical current. Conductors, like copper or aluminum, have free electrons, or electrons in the outer shells of their atoms that are easily knocked loose. These electrons flow from negative to positive when an electrical potential (voltage) is applied across the material. We call the flow of electrons "current".


What is and electrical current?

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