Does electricity move better through thick or thin wire?
Electricity moves better through thick wire. This is because thick wires have a lower resistance and allows more current to pass through it. Now that might be true but I did an experiment with a thick wire,thin wire,light bulb,and D batteries and the thin wire made the light bulb light up brighter. So, really its probably a thin wire.
A coil of wire with an electric current in it?
A solenoid. An electromagnet is wire wrapped around a core of iron (usually). The wrapped wire itself is called the solenoid.
What is a flow of electrons moving along a wire or conductor?
An electric current. <<>> The term used for the flow of electrons through a conductor is amperage.
What is the amount of electrons moving past a certain point on a wire?
It's called current.
Why does a wire get hot when an electric current passes through it?
Because the wire has resistance.The power (number of watts) dissipated by any resistance when current passes through it is(the number of amperes of current)2 multiplied by (the number of ohms of resistance).To reduce the power lost from the wire, the choices are:-- reduce the current passing through the wire-- use thicker wire-- keep the wire as cold as possible.(If the wire is made of the right material, and you make it cold enough,then all of its resistance disappears, and it's called a "superconductor".)
What is a wire that moves electric current with no resistance?
Its called a superconducting wire.
When electricity moves through a wire what is created?
Current
What is produced when a magnetic field moves relative to a closed wire loop?
Faraday says you will induce a current in the wire.
Flow of electricity through a wire is called?
It is called electrical current.
What is a current-carrying wire?
A wire with some resistance and a voltage applied to it The amount of current I passing this wire is V/R
What is a coil of wire with a current called?
current carrying coil
How does a generator produce electric current?
A generator moves a coil of wire through a magnetic field and that induces a current in the coil .
Does a generator produce electric current?
A generator moves a coil of wire through a magnetic field and that induces a current in the coil .
A fast narrow current that moves seaward is called a?
a rip current
When current flows through a wire what are they called?
Current flow is when charge moves from one point to another. It is measured in coulombs per second, which is more commonly known as amperes.
Energy conversions - mechanical to electrical?
The usual setup is called a generator. The basic idea here is that a piece of wire moves through a magnetic field; this will cause an electrical current. The electrical current causes another magnetic field that opposes the movement, so it requires (mechanical) energy to keep it moving.The usual setup is called a generator.

What are electrons moving in a current is called?
The speed at which electrons flow along the wire is called the current. The measurement for current is amps.
