Where do electric current move?
from under the ground
How do resistors produce heat in an electric circuit?
The complete explanation probably involves quantum mechanics, but for an intuitive explanation, simply imagine that electrons move through a metal (for example), and that now and then, some of them collide with atoms, wasting energy from the electric current - and heating up the metal (by making the atoms move faster).
Can an electric current move through a electromagnet?
yes.
Why are metals good conductors of electric current?
An electric current can be carried through a metal by the free flow of the shared electrons.
Current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field to move to a position of lower what?
Current is produced when charges are accelerated by an electric field to move to a position of lower energy.
How can Metal ions be electroplated onto a surface using an electric current?
electrons. Electrons are the only charges free to move in a metal.
How Metallic bonding causes medals to conduct electric current?
Metals conduct electricity and electric current. Electric current is possible when charged particles are free to move. A metallic bond is the bond between a positive metal and the atoms in metal (metal atoms combined in regular patterns in which valence electrons are free to move from atom to atom). ~let me guess page 180 problem 16 haha physical science :)
How an electric current is produced?
When charges (means charged bodies) move , then we say that an electric current is produced. If charges remain at rest, current is zero. If charge Q moves through a metal in time t , then current I through metal is: I=Q/t; moreever, electric current can also be produced by rate of change of magnetic field through a metal...,
In electric bell electric energy is converted into?
An electric doorbell uses electrical current thru a coil to move a metal bar using magnetism and cause it to strike a metal plate making a ring sound
Do neutrons move in an electric current?
no
Why aluminium metal conducts electricity?
Like other metals the outer shell electrons of aluminum are said to be delocalized from their atoms and are free to move throughout a piece of the metal. As a result it is easy to get them to move to form an electric current.
How electric iron become hot when electric current passes through it?
The electrons in the current have a lot of energy due to the tiny electric force on each one and the very large number of electrons involved. As they move from atom to atom in a metal conductor, some of this energy redistributes to the metal atoms. This energy causes the conductor atoms to move faster, which means they get hotter, and the heat flows to the surface of the iron.
