The "impedance" of a circuit slows down the movement of electrons. This can be resistive, reactive or a combination of both.
Resistance.
Just like the blades of a propeller provide thrust for an airplane to move, electrons moving through a circuit create electrical current. Both involve the transfer of energy through the movement of a medium (air or electrons). The analogy breaks down when considering the different physical properties and mechanisms involved in the two scenarios.
Insulators
Electrons in a current move in a flow similar to people on a waterslide, passing energy along. Just like people sliding down a waterslide, electrons carry energy as they move through a circuit, creating electrical currents that power devices.
Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a voltage source, creating an electric current. They move through the circuit components, such as resistors and light bulbs, which offer resistance to the flow of electrons. The direction of electron flow is opposite to the conventional current flow direction, which is from the positive to the negative terminal.
Factors that can slow down motion include friction, drag, gravity, and external forces acting on an object. These factors can affect the speed and acceleration of an object by opposing its movement.
Loads do not 'slow down' electron flow. They effect the magnitude of a current, not its speed!
the ability if a substance to slow down electric current
ATP.
There are electrons in every atom, and every part of an electric circuit is made up of atoms (or charged atoms, which are known as ions). The electrons actually move very slowly around the circuit, going from atom to atom. However, the effect which causes them to do this travels very fast (at the speed of light) around the circuit. This effect is caused by the source of what is known as electromotive force - the battery, or power supply.
Electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a voltage source, creating an electric current. They move through the circuit components, such as resistors and light bulbs, which offer resistance to the flow of electrons. The direction of electron flow is opposite to the conventional current flow direction, which is from the positive to the negative terminal.
Same as earthing. Connecting an electric circuit to the ground allows electrons to flow down to earth, and spread out. It therefore acts like an absolute 0V level in the circuit. There are various reasons why one might want to do this.
Resistance slows the flow of electrons in a conductor.When you say that a substance has resistance, it actually means that the substance slows down the flow of electrons, thereby reducing the current. So, higher the resistivity of a substance, lesser the velocity of the electrons in the circuit assuming all the other values constant.
what is a dumb down definition of acombination circuit
stays the same Well... that's not really true... the number of them stays the same, but several things happen to them. First off they are further from the nucleus. And they are further shielded by additional electrons between the valence and nucleus. This causes a looser association and tends to make the atom more volatile.
Basically potential energy - and chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy. Movement (kinetic) energy can be stored in the short term, but the problem is that movement tends to slow down due to friction.
A stroke is the movement of a piston up or down.
The terminology down stream refers to an electrical circuit and where devices are connected into the circuit. In reference to the breaker that feeds the circuit everything is down stream from it. If a GFCI receptacle is added into the circuit as the first device, the GFCI can be wired to allow all of the regular receptacles to be protected down stream from that GFCI. Every device added to the circuit will be down stream from the one that is ahead of it. The only device that will not have something down stream from it will be the last device in the circuit.
