What is a flow of a charged particle called?
The charged particle that flows through circuits is an electron.
Why electrons flow in negative to positive direction?
Electrons are negatively charged particles. The reason the negative side of your D battery is negative is because that's where the free electrons are. The positive terminal is starved or has a deficit of electrons. The negatively charged electrons naturally want to fill the 'holes', in atoms lacking an electron on the positive side. Thus electron flow is from negative to positive. Conventional current flow assumes that current flows out of the positive terminal, through the circuit and into the negative terminal of the source. This was the convention chosen during the discovery of electricity. They were wrong!
What is the continuous loop that an electric current flows through?
DC = direct current.
What determines if a circuit is open or closed?
Closed. If it is open then the power is off.
What is electricity that flows in a closed loop called?
A closed circuit.
How electricity flows?
Electricity flows through wires. Negatively charged atoms will jump to positively charged atoms. They all jump really fast and it causes flow. Electricity flows only in A. An open circuit. B. A closed circuit. C. A magnet D. An incomplete circuit
Tiny particle that flows around a circuit?
The electron flows around a circuit.
The current that flows in an electric circuit carries what?
Current Carries Negatively charged electrons.
What is a flow of a charged particle called?
The charged particle that flows through circuits is an electron.
What particle moves when electricity flows through a circuit?
Electrons
Why current flowing from positive to negative?
because current flows in the opposite direction of the flow of electron.since electrons are negatively charged particle they moves towards the positive and hence current flows in the opposite direction to the flow of electrons (that is from positive to negative)
What part of an atom flows as electricity?
the electron, though any charged particle can create a flowing current.
Does a radioactive particle moving through the air near an electroscope cause the leaves of the electroscope to move together?
when the radio active particle moves through the air, it gets charged. As a radio active particle gets negative charge, and the air around it gets positive charge, then the few electrons from the negatively charged particle goes to positively charged one to make the charges equal. (the more friction you apply, the more charge it gains) now the radio active particle gained positive charge compared with other particles. If the radio active particle flows over the electroscope and is near it within a limit, then the leaves may move together if the electroscope had been charged negative, else the leaves are charged positive then the leaves would diverge further . as the radio active particle is not actually touching the electroscope, the radiated energy from the radio active particle reaches the electroscope, and hence the charges would not transfer but the effect would be there until you take the radio active particle away. answered by K.Sreram from India
What flows through a complete circuit?
Current flows through a complete circuit.

What is a circle circuit?
It is a round circuit that electricity flows around it./
What subatomic particle flows to cause a current?
Electrons
