What does the electric current have?
In metal conductors, electric current is the flow of electrons.
What is an electric current through a metal?
It's flow of electrons under directing external electric field.
What is electrical energy converted into when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb?
Electrical energy is converted into light and heat when electric current flows through the metal filament of a light bulb.
How electric iron become hot when electric current passes through it?
The electrons in the current have a lot of energy due to the tiny electric force on each one and the very large number of electrons involved. As they move from atom to atom in a metal conductor, some of this energy redistributes to the metal atoms. This energy causes the conductor atoms to move faster, which means they get hotter, and the heat flows to the surface of the iron.
When electric current flows through the metal filament of light bulb electric energy is converted to?
Heat and light.
What is a thin metal wire that is designed to melt when the electric current is to large?
A fuse.
What does the electric current have?
In metal conductors, electric current is the flow of electrons.
What will happen if a paper clip made of metal is placed in an electric circuit?
Metal is an excellent conductor of electricity. So a metal paper clip placed in an electric circuit will conduct whatever current may be in that circuit. If the current is very large, the paperclip may get hot.
Electric current in a metal conductor is carried by?
Electric current in a metal conductor is carried by a wire. This wire has been specifically adapted to carry this current.
How does electric current travel?
the flow of electrons in a metal is called electric current . the conventional direction of electric current is shown from positive pole to negative pole
What would you expect to conduct an electric current?
the metal
What should I put for a hypothesis for unrusting metal with electricity?
There is no one definitive answer to this question. Some possible hypotheses that could be explored include: using electric current to prevent metal from rusting, using electric current to reverse the rusting process, or using electric current to promote the formation of a protective layer on metal that prevents rusting.
Is the electric current in a metal conductor is carried by positive ions?
Yes
What element is a good conductors of thermal energy and electric current?
a metal
What does an electric current in a metal consists of to move?
it consists of a flow of ions
How an electric current is produced?
When charges (means charged bodies) move , then we say that an electric current is produced. If charges remain at rest, current is zero. If charge Q moves through a metal in time t , then current I through metal is: I=Q/t; moreever, electric current can also be produced by rate of change of magnetic field through a metal...,
What is an electric current through a metal?
It's flow of electrons under directing external electric field.
