What is it called when electrons flow through a wire?
When electrons flow through a conductor such as a wire, it is called, "Electricity".
Why does the compass respond when it is near a electrical wire with current flowing through it?
Because electricity gives off a magnetic field.
What do you call something that allows heat or electricity to pass through it?
A material that allows heat or electricity to pass through it is called a conductor. The opposite of that is called an insulator. For electricity, the wire inside is the conductor, while the plastic on the outside is an insulator.
What can decrease the magnetic field around a wire?
Only decreasing the magnitude of the current flowing through the wire can.
What does a insulator keep the electricity in?
An insulator doesn't keep electricity in anything. Electricity follows metals, period. To put it another way, It's like you wearing a glove to prevent heat or cold to touch your skin, the plastic insulation on wire keeps the electricity from touching anything outside the metal it is flowing through.
What flowing through a wire produces a magnetic field?
electricity
What causes a magnetic field to be produced around a wire?
Current flows through a wire and produces a magnetic field.
What is it called when electrons flow through a wire?
When electrons flow through a conductor such as a wire, it is called, "Electricity".
When was the electromagnet created?
The electomagnet came from William surgeon in 1825
Why does the compass respond when it is near a electrical wire with current flowing through it?
Because electricity gives off a magnetic field.
What form of energy is flowing though the wire?
Usually electricity.
What is hydorelectricity?
Electricity generated by water flowing through turbines which rotate between `brushes` of magnets surrounded by copper wire, I think!
Flow of electricity through a wire is called?
It is called electrical current.
How is electricity transferred in different appliances?
through the potential in wire. the potential in wire is the work done by the charge to move from one point to another. so charge means somewhere electron. so charge is flowing through one point to other it means electron is flowing. so the appliance connected through wire gets electricity and work, all about the current which is actualy flow of electron. so thats it
Which wire ensures that electricity will flow through it when flowing downhill instead of in people?
Seems to be a joke question...Of course properly and well dimensioned insulatedwires
What is a eletromagnet produced by?
I believe that it's spelled electromagnet. An electromagnet is produced by electricity flowing through a wire wrapped around a needle 30 or more times.
What is dynamic resistance and give you brief account about it?
A device's resistance to electricity, like in a wire's resistance to having electricity flowing through it, copper has very little, so that's why copper is used in wires.
