∙ 10y agoThe same number of electrons go in at one end, and out at the other; thus, the mass shouldn't change - except for a small increase due to the increase in energy, that is, the mass-equivalent of the energy passing through the wire.

∙ 9y agoAccording to Hopper Institute, there is no electric charge in current carrying wire. The number of electrons that flow into a wire is the same number that leave at the other end. This means the net charge is usually zero at all times.Ê

the direction of the more positive end of the wire. An electron leaves the atom
it's connected to, moves some distance along the wire, and gets hooked by
another atom. None of the electrons that enter the negative end of the wire
are the same ones that eventually leave the positive end, although the total
numbers are the same.

What is saturation in current in diod?
When a pn junction is reversed bias practically no current flows through it ,but a very small current flows through due to minority charge carriers ,which is known as reverse saturation current .In p type due to electrons and in n type due to holes .
What is reverse saturation current in ideal diode?

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.
How much current flows through a resistor with zero potential difference?
No current flows when the the voltage is zero.
A resistance of 10 ohms is placed across a 9 volt battery what current flows through the battery?
No current flows through the battery. There is a current through the external circuit. I = E/R = 9/10 = 0.9 amperes.

What moves when a current flows?
charge
A charge of 15 Coulomb flows through any area in a circuit each second the current is?
15 ampere. Since current = charge / time
Why it is called current a net charge?
because it flows on the direction where the net charge flows. :D
What happens to the current at a junction in a parallel circuit?
In a parallel circuit the current divides when it comes to a junction. Part of the current flows through one branch and the other part flows through the other.When the two branches have the same resistance, the same current flows through each branch.When the two branches have different resistances, a bigger current flows through the branch with the smaller resistance - it's just easier this way!Hope i helped ;)

What is an electri current?
flows of charge is known as electri current ANUJ
What happens when you switch plug sockets on?
The current flows through the cable of the plug, to whatever wants to be turned on.
How much current flows through a circuit if 2 coulombs of charge flows each second?
Current in amperes is coulombs per second, so 2 coulombs per second is 2 amperes.

What flows through a complete circuit?
Current flows through a complete circuit.
