Is the flow of electrical charges in a conductor?

yes


Charges cannot flow without what?

A conductor


Push that causes electrical charges to flow through a conductor?

Electromotive force is the cause that pushes the electric charges to flow through the conductor. Especially electrons flow through the metallic conductors.


What is a pair of electric charges called?

flow of electricity through a conductor are electric charges


What is the flow of electric charges in a conductor?

False... That is called an electrical current.


Is a brass paper fastener a conducor?

Yes, because it is metal it is. :)


Does wood allow charges to flow easily?

No. Wood is a poor conductor of electricity unless it is wet/saturated with water.


How does large amount of current flow through a conductor despite low drift velocity and small charge on an electron?

This is because the number of electrons (or charge carriers) in a conductor is very very high; such as, up to 1023 electrons in unit area of a metal conductor. The combined effect of the drift velocities and charges in the entire body of the conductor enable the flow of huge amount of charges (current) through it.


What condition must exist between two points in a conductor in order to maintain a flow of charge?

Potential Difference


1 A material that allows the flow of charges through it?

flow of charge can be taken as flow of electricity(because it's basically flow of electrons). so answer to this question is "conductor of electricity" like wire etc. "Atul ashish"


What is needed for an electrical current to flow?

The definition of a current is a collection of moving charges. Hence for current to flow, one needs charge and one needs it to move. One gnerally aciees this on Earth with a conductor and a voltage or potential difference that creates and electric field and charges feel a frorce and move creating current. The conductor may be a wire and the charges may be electrons. The conductor might also be water with dissolved salt and the electric field causes the salt ions to move and it is the moving ions that constitute the current. If you are the Sun and you are producing electrons and protons on the solar wind, then complex electromagnetic fields may have ejected the charges from the sun, but the current that is the charge moving through space is maintained just hy the inertial of the particles. You don't need an electric field to maintain the current and you don't need a conductor to hold the charges. For a current to flow, you need net charge moving. That is all. Current is technically charge density times velocity.


Is a conductor of energy a physical or chemical change?

The conductor of energy is not a physical change. The conduction of energy happens due to a chemical bonding of specific metals. A conductor of energy produces a flow of electrical charges.
