Electrons do not readily flow through what material?
The material that electrons do not readily flow through in the electrical trade is classed an an insulator.
Do a slab of n type material carry a net negative charge?
No. The "n" and "p" does not refer to the negative or positive charge, but to the fact that there are atoms that can easily "donate" electrons (n-type), or atoms that can easily "accept" electrons (p-type).
How friction can be used to transfer electrons?
When two materials rub together, the loosely held electrons of one material move to the material with the more tightly held electrons.
What is material that will not release electrons nor allow free electrons to pass?
Insulator
How do paired electrons affect the magnetic properties of a material?
Because of a property called spin, electrons act like tiny magnets. Most of the time paired electrons contain opposite spins, meaning the material has a weak magnetic field. The more paired electrons a material has, the weaker the magnetic field in the material. Unpaired electrons attract and repel other material. This determines which materials unpaired electrons match up with and attract to form a magnetic domain.
Why do materials carry current?
Materials carry current because of the way the electrons of the material behave. Current is proportional to the number of electrons. If the electrons are loosely bound on the material then they are available to carry current along the material. Copper is a common metal who's configuration means that the electrons are loosely bound and as such is very good at carrying current. If on the other hand the electrons are tightly packed into the atoms in the material then they aren't available to carry current. Materials such as glass and plastic are good examples.
A material that doesnt allow electrons to move through it easily is an?
insulator...as opposed to a conductor which does allow electrons to travel freely within it.
Is metal a conductor of electricity?
For a material to conduct electricity, it must have free movable electric charges, such as free electrons or free ions, in order to 'carry' electricity. In the case of metals, there is a 'sea' of delocalized electrons. These free electrons can 'carry' the electricity, and thus, it is a conductor.

What does nadph carry?
they carry high energy electrons.
Are there protons in electric ciruits?
Wherever there is material, there are protons. But protons are not the things that carry the charge around in electrical circuits. Electrons do that.
Why do wires use metals?
The purpose of a wire is to carry some sort of electrical signal. This requires that the electrons in the material be able to move freely. Materials with free movable electrons are called "metals".
What is a material that carries electrones easily?
Gold, silver, copper, aluminium, iron, and lead are all quite good. Most metals carry electrons easily. A material that does that is called a good "conductor".
What does conductor mean in science?
It means that it's a material whose outer shell electrons move freely across the surface of the material. Conductors can carry an electric current
Does Electrons carry a negative and positive charge?
electrons carry a negative charge. protons carry a positive charge. neutrons are neutral.
What happens to a material which gains electrons?
It becomes more negatively charged, since electrons carry a negative charge.
What amount of electrons does it take to carry light?
Electrons do not carry light. Light is an electromagnetic wave or a photon.
