'Electricity' is not a quantity, so it doesn't 'flow' and cannot be allocated any units of measurement. If, however, you mean 'current', then its measured in amperes (symbol: A), which is defined in terms of the force between two parallel, current-carrying conductors, due to the interaction of the resulting magnetic fields.

What is A measure of the number of electrons flowing through a circuit?

Amperage.


What measures the flowing in a circuit?

The flow in a circuit is called the electric current and it is measured by voltages. The number of volts that are present in the charge will determine the strength of the electric current.


What is the number of electrons flowing through the wire?

The number of electrons flowing through a wire depends on the current passing through it. One ampere of current corresponds to approximately 6.24 x 10^18 electrons flowing through the wire per second.


If an electric current is flowing through a parallel circuit which units tell you about the amount of electrons traveling in the circuit?

It makes no difference whether the circuit is parallel, series or complex. The number of electrons travelling (or oscillating back and forth for AC) is determined by the current (amps). 1 amp = 1 coulomb/second. 1 coulomb = the charge represented by 6.24150962915265 x 1018 electrons. The current in each leg of a parallel circuit has to be worked out separately.


Is current a measure of the flow electrons through a circuit?

Yes, electrical current is a measure of the flow of electrons through a circuit. It is measured in amperes (A) and represents the rate of flow of charge. Higher current indicates a larger number of electrons flowing through the circuit per unit of time.


The number of electrons flowing between two points is the?

The magnitude called "current" is related to the number of electrons (or other charged particles) that flow per second. The unit is Ampere. The total number of electrons is related to the electric charge, measured in Coulombs.


Does current depend upon the number of flowing electrons or energy of elecrons?

"energy of elecrons" - I guess you mean of *electrons*. Current is the measure of the number of electrons flowing past a point: one amp of current is about 6.2415093×1018 electrons per second


What is the number of electrons passing a given point in one second?

The number of electrons passing a given point in one second is determined by the current flowing through the circuit. This can be calculated using the formula I = Q/t, where I is the current in amperes, Q is the charge in coulombs, and t is the time in seconds.


A current of 1.10 A flows in a wire. How many electrons are flowing past any point in the wire per second?

To calculate the number of electrons flowing per second, you can use the formula: Number of electrons = (Current in Amperes) * (1 Coulomb/1 Ampere) * (1 electron charge) Plugging in the values: Number of electrons = 1.1 * 6.242 * 10^18 electrons/second Number of electrons = 6.87 * 10^18 electrons/second


What is the number of protons in the nucleus or the number the electrons in the energy levels called?

The number of protons in the nucleus is called the atomic number and is equal to the number of electrons in a neutral atom.


What is the number of electrons in outer shell called?

The number of electrons in the outermost shell is called the valence electrons. These electrons determine the chemical properties of an element and how it interacts with other elements.


What are the number of protons and electrons found in an element called?

the number of protons in an element is called the atomic number and there is no way to see how many electrons an element has.
