Which constitute the Electric current in a metallic conductor?
Electrons.
Does salt water flowing through a pipe constitute an electric current?
No, salt water flowing through a pipe by itself does not constitute an electric current. Electric current requires the movement of charged particles, such as electrons, in a closed circuit. Salt water can conduct electricity only if there are free ions present in the water to carry the charge.
Which particles constitute current in a metallic conductor?
In metallic conductors, current is carried by free electrons. These electrons are not bound to individual atoms and are able to move freely throughout the material in response to an applied electric field, allowing for the flow of electric current.
Electricityis produced by the movement of protons?
No. If a flood of protons did move from place to place, that certainly would constitute an electric current. But that's not what's happening when something in your hand, in your home, or in your car has an electric current in it. Those electric currents are the movement of electrons through the wires or cables that we see around us in daily life.
What is the contrast of an electric current and static electricity?
Just the words give the clear idea. Static means stationary. So charged without any motion make an object charged. This is what happens when a glass rod is rubbed with silk cloth. Here electrons right from glass get transferred to the silk. So glass acquire positve charge and silk equal negative charge Now the very word 'current' means 'motion'. Recall saying "water current is heavy in that river" So as charges have a tendency to be in motion then we call it as electric current. In case of solids only electrons capable of moving freely constitute the electric current. BUt in case of fluids ions both positive and negative constitute electric current
Is electrons moving through a copper wire an example of electric current?
Yes it is, when there's a large-scale average motion in one direction due to a voltage between the ends of the wire, and not just the random thermal motion in a piece of wire in the back of a drawer somewhere.
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
What is the direction of flow of electric current in an electric current?
DC current
What is the opposite of a electric current?
The opposite of an electric current is the absence of an electric current, meaning no flow of electric charge through a conductor.
Which is true electric current running along a wire can be used to produce magnetic force or moving electrons through a magnetic field can produce an electric current?
They're both true, but I'm not comfortable with the way they're stated. I would have said: -- Electric current through a wire produces magnetic force. -- Moving electrons constitute an electric current, whether or not they're moing througha magnetic field.
What is a continuous flow of electricity is called?
A current.
What does an electric current Carry?
Electric current carries electric charge. Actually to say it in the right sense, we have to say that electric current is the rate of flow of electric charges
