What else can I help you with?
What do you call the movement of electrons through a conductor?
Electron flow; also known as electrical current.
What flow of electrons move through a conductor?
In a conductor, the flow of electrons is known as an electric current. Electrons move from the negative terminal of a voltage source to the positive terminal, creating a flow of charge that can power devices connected to the circuit.
What is the flow of electrons known as?
Electric current. Hope that helps deary.
Do electrons create electric currents?
Yes, electrons carry electric current when they flow through a conductor such as a wire. The movement of electrons is what generates the flow of electric charge known as an electric current.
Is conventional flow or electronic flow true?
Electronic flow is true. Conventional flow was thought to have positive charges flowing from the + terminal to the - terminal. This was before we knew that it is actually the electrons which flow, and the positive charges cannot move out of their atomic nuclei. Now that electrons have been detected, and protons are known to stay within the nucleus unless a nuclear reaction takes place, we know that it is the electrons that flow from the - terminal to the + terminal. This is known as electronic flow.
What is the flow of negatively charged particles through matter also known as?
The flow of negatively charged particles through matter is known as electron current. This refers to the movement of electrons within a material in response to an applied electrical field.
Steady flow of electrons?
elelctric current
Which type of material that allows electricity to flow but not as freely?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. Good conductors are metals, such as copper or aluminum. Materials that allow the flow of electrons, but not as freely as good conductors are known as semiconductors. These are primarily silicon or germanium, that is "doped" with specific types of impurities to allow their current to be better controlled by the application of a voltage. Heat will also increase the flow of electrons in a semiconductor.
What is the tendency of a substance to resist the flow of electrons?
That tendency is known as electrical resistance. It is a measure of how difficult it is for an electric current to pass through a substance. Materials with high resistance impede the flow of electrons, while materials with low resistance allow electrons to flow more easily.
What is a electron flow in only one direction called?
A unidirectional flow of electrons is known as direct current (DC). In a DC circuit, the electrons flow in a constant direction from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of the voltage source.
What is the force that causes electrons to flow through a conductor known as?
The force that causes electrons to flow through a conductor is known as voltage or electromotive force (EMF). Voltage provides the "push" or potential difference that drives electrons from areas of higher potential to lower potential, resulting in an electric current.
In a circuit electric current is flow of?
It is a flow of electrons.
