Which subatomic particle is free to move?
Electrons are free to move within an atom and between atoms, making them the subatomic particles that can easily move. Electrons are negatively charged and are responsible for the flow of electric current in conductive materials.
Electron current flow theory considers electricity to be the flow of charge carries which are what in polarity?
When we consider electron flow, we think of moving electrons. The electron has a negative charge. This model of current flow, the electron current flow model, follows the movement of those negative charges.As a contrast, we might consider what is called conventional current flow. And that the model of current involves the movement of charges with a positive polarity.
What are viscosities?
A kind of liquid that resist to flow like water because of the atoms that does friction between themselves which makes it harder.
What instrument can be used to detect electron flow?
Amperemeter (or Ammeter)
Does non cyclic electron flow produce ATP?
yes
Why do atoms give us electricity?
Electrons can be made to move from one atom to another. When those electrons move between the atoms, a current of electricity is created. The electrons move from one atom to another in a "flow." One electron is attached and another electron is lost.
What is the difference between the traditional and electron flow theories of electricity?
Nope
What specifically does resistance reduce the flow of?
Resistance is the opposition of the atoms in any materiel to the movement of the electrons of a certain current ... so the resistance is a long wire, and thus more atoms to pass through that's how it reduces the electron flow
What is the driving force for the flow of electron in batteries?
potential difference between electrodes
Difference between electron flow and conventional current?
Conventional current flow refers to a flow of positive charges. It is a kind of ficticious current. If - as is often the case - the real current is an electron flow (negative charges), then the conventional flow is a current in the opposite direction as the electron movements, since this would have the same effect (for example on the magnetic field, or on conservation of charge).
Is the flow of electrons?
Electron flow is what we think of as electrical current. We are familiar with two types of electron flow, Direct Current, or DC, and Alternating Current, or AC. Direct Current is the kind of electrical flow we get from batteries and solar cells, when electrons travel in only one direction. On the other hand, AC is the kind of electrical flow we get from a typical electrical outlet in a home. AC is when the electrons flow in two directions, from the positive to the negative terminal and from the negative to the positive terminal, 'alternating' between the two directions. (Your lights will light up regardless of the direction of the electron flow.) A lot of people think of electron flow as electrons moving along a wire freely like cars go down a highway. Actually, it works a little differently. Any conductor (thing that electricity can go through) is made of atoms. Each atom has electrons in it. If you put new electrons in a conductor, they will join atoms, and each atom will spit out an electron to the next atom. This next atom takes in the electron and spits out another one on the other side.

Electrons are free to move within an atom and between atoms, making them the subatomic particles that can easily move. Electrons are negatively charged and are responsible for the flow of electric current in conductive materials.
What energy is the flow of electrons?
current :))))
Flow of an electron will contain how much current?
1.6x10^19 amperes is the amount of current that a flow of an electron will contain.
What allows electrons to flow between electrodes in an electrochemical cell?
The difference in reactivity between two metals is what causes the electron flow, or voltage. It is facilitated by setting up a Galvanic cell, with two electrodes in solution connected by a copper wire (for electron flow) and a salt bridge (for balancing charges between electrodes.)
What happens if a conventional flow and a electron flow meet?
What do you mean with "meet"? Conventional flow and electron flow are not two types of currents. They are two ways to analyze the SAME currents.
What is the current?
Current is defined to be a flow of electrically charged carriers. These are usually electrons or electron-deficient atoms. It is symbolized by uppercase letter I.
