Eectrons moving in the wire that is why it is called electricity. Electrons moving in a circle around the iron core called the armature produces a magnetic field. This produces a north and south pole. The poles of the armature are attracted to the opposite poles of the magnets, causing the armature to spin.

What is a property that causes subatomic particles such as protons and electrons to attract or repel each other?

electric charge, via the electromagnetic force.


Which subatomic particle causes the masses to be different?

Every subatomic particle has mass, so every particle will cause a slight mass change. However, in an isotope, the mass change between the parent and daughter is caused by a change in the number of neutrons.


What causes an elecrtic current to flow in a circuit?

The movement of electron towards the high potential causes electric current to flow in a circuit.


What causes scientists to realize that there were particles smaller than atoms?

A particle smaller than atom is a subatomic particle, protons , neutrons, and , electrons, the smallest one is an electron, smaller than that are point particles and elementary particles, one elementary particle and point particle is a quark, up quarks down quarks the smallest single thing found so far is a GLUON, which is the force which binds/holds quarks together. Where the devil lives in anti matter there are also atoms and subatomic particles and point particles but just anti, anti- GLUON, anti-QUARK, anti-ATOM, anti-SUBATOMIC PARTICLE. There is something called the string theory, and super string theory that theorizes about bosonic/boson strings but it can not be provine yet, and I think a gluon is still alot smaller than a bosonic/boson string if they are true.

Acceleration and so a force acting on the particle.


What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?

Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.


What flows through a circuit and causes a magnetic field?

An electric current flowing through a circuit causes a magnetic field. This is due to the movement of electric charges, usually electrons, in the circuit. The magnetic field produced is perpendicular to the direction of the current flow.
