What matter has the ability to carry an electric current?
An electrical conductor has the ability to carry an electric current. Most of the best conductors are metals such as copper. Water containing ions can also conduct an electric current (which lead-acid batteries rely on)
What is the energy associated with electric current is called?
Moving electrons possess kinetic energy, but the energy you are referring to is called electricity
What is a material that will carry an electric current called?
A material that will carry an electric current is called a conductor. Conductor materials have high electrical conductivity, allowing the flow of electric charges with minimal resistance. Examples of conductors include metals such as copper, aluminum, and silver.
How the electrical charge is created?
An electrical current
What can induce an electrical current in a wire?
A magnetic field can induce an electrical current in a wire.
Can paint carry an electrical current?
Yes, if it is metallic paint it is possible.
Do copper carry current?
Yes, copper is a good electrical conductor.
What is the general name for the property of a material which enables it to carry an electrical current?
Conductor
What is noncunducting?
Something classed as non-conducting is a material that will not carry an electrical current.
Does current pass through a currency coin?
Yes, coins are made of metal and metal will carry an electrical current.
Why is it possible to run an electrical current through salt water and not pure water?
Pure water does not contain any electrolytes to carry electrons where as salt water contains the same to carry electrons -movement of electrons is electrical current
What does to allow energy of electricity to flow mean?
It means that you let an electrical current flow. The current will, of course, carry energy.
How is the nerve special?
Nerve cells carry impulses in the form of electrical currents, they are insulated by myelin to avoid the electrical current from 'leaking out'.
Can brass carry electrical current?
Sure. Any metal - or alloy - is a good conductor of electricity.
How is the nerve cell specialized?
Nerve cells carry impulses in the form of electrical currents, they are insulated by myelin to avoid the electrical current from 'leaking out'.
Does plastic protect you from electric current?
No, practically all plastic is an insulator. An insulator does not carry any electrical currents. A conductor can carry a current. "What plastics are conductive?", you may ask -- see link below.
How are a neuron and an electrical extension cord different?
They both carry electrical impulses from one point to another
