The flow of electrons is called an electrical current. Current is measured in Amps and flows from a positive voltage towards a negative voltage. The electrons themselves have a negative charge so they move or flow in the opposite direction to the flow of current.

What is an atom that has gained or lost electrons callled?

An atom that has gained or lost electrons is called an ion. If it gains electrons, it becomes a negatively charged ion (an anion), while if it loses electrons, it becomes positively charged (a cation).

What gives electrons there electricity?

Electrons don't have electricity they only posses energy, Electricity is defined as the flow of electrons! In conductors the flow of valence electrons are called Electricity! therefore inducing a current in it! generally the direction of flow the current is the opposite of the direction of flow of electrons(D.C)!


Can electrons flow in conductors?

Yes, electrons can flow through conductors. Conductors are materials that allow the free flow of electric charge, such as electrons, due to their loosely bound electrons. This movement of electrons is what allows the flow of electric current in a conductor.


Does an insulator allow the flow of electrons?

Yes . Some insulators do allow the flow of electrons but most do not.

What is electic current?

nucleons have electrons that may leave the orbit if enough EMF is present causing electrons to flow by placement. WHILE ELECTRONS FLOW ONE WAY LACK OF ELECTRONS FLOW THE OTHER WAY


Why do electric circuits need to use conductors?

Without conductors, electrons do not flow where you want them to flow. An electrical circuit is a flow of electrons.
