True are false. electricity is a flow of negative charge?

False. 1. Electricity involves the movement of electrical charges. The most common case is the movement of electrons (a negative charge), but other possibilities exist, such as movement of charges through ions (positive or negative), or holes (positive). 2. Even stating that electricity IS a flow of charged particles is a gross and misleading simplification. An electrical current INVOLVES the flow of charges, but that does not fully describe an electrical current.


What is a continuous flow of positive charges called?

The continuous flow of positive charges is called current


What are the general items and methods related charges relationship with measurement of civil engineering work?

method-related charges


How do electrical charges flow in a series circuit?

The eletrical current goes out of the positive end to the first load and uses a fraction of its power in the first load then continues to the second load and it does the same as the first load and then it either goes to the negative end or goes in more loads until it reaches the negative end.


How many kinds of electric charge are there?

There are two. Positive + and Negative - Positive is carried by the proton and negative is carried by the electron. What is usually talked about when people talk about charge is electrical potential. At zero potential there are equal number of electrons and protons. But in the real world that seldom happens so electrical potential is correct the potential difference between the state of two objects. In other words which one has the most or least electrons compared to its number of protons. Since this is hard to count we are lucky that the excess one of the other creates an electrical field and we can measure the strength of the field as a measure of the charge. The most common device to do this is a voltmeter which measures the electrical potential difference between to conductors such as the ends of a battery. There are other devices to measure the magnitude of static electrical fields.
