What is the difference between a electrical conductor and a electrical nonconductor?
Simply put an conductor is a material that lets free electrons flow through it. When free electrons are flowing that is called current. So an electrical conductor will have current pass through. Non-conductive material will not allow these electrons to flow and no electricity can be passed through. Good conductors have almost no resistance to electron flow.
The flow of electrons along a conductor measured in?
Amperes
Is electricity variable or fixed?
Electricity is the flow of electrons along a conductor.
What is definition of electric current?
Current is the motion of electrons in a conductor being propelled by electromotive force (voltage).
Is it true that when an electric current flows through a long conductor each free electron moves through a relatively short distance?
It is not true that when electric current flows through a long conductor each electron moves through a relative short distance because electric current is the continues flow of electrons.
The steady flow of electrons through a conductor is?
Its called "current"
Steady flow of electrons?
elelctric current
What is it called when electrons flow through a wire?
When electrons flow through a conductor such as a wire, it is called, "Electricity".
What is the name for a positively charged conductor through which electrons flow into a device?
Anode The name for a positive charge conductor through which electrons flow into a device is called the life conductor.
What is an electron current?
the flow of electrons through a conductor
What is electron current?
the flow of electrons through a conductor
What happens to the electrons in a conductor when there is a potential difference between the conductor's ends?
The free electrons in a conductor will, when a difference of potential (voltage) is applied at its ends, participate in electron current flow (or just current, if you prefer). The voltage applied to the conductor will drive current through the conductor, and the free electrons will support current flow. These electrons will actually move through the conductor. As electrons are driven into one end of the conductor, the free electrons "shift over" and electrons stream out the other end of the conductor. This is the essence of current flow in conductors.
Is Electricity is the controlled flow of protons through a conductor.?
No. Electrons.
Which of these is a metal wire that allows electrons to flow through it?
conductor
What do you call a material that electrons will flow through freely?
conductor
What does an electric conductor?
It permits electrons to flow through it easily.
What is a material that allows electrons to flow easily through it?
Anything that is classified as a conductor will allow the flow of electrons.
