How does a generators produce electricity?

. This causes electrons to move through the conductor, which is creates a flow of electricity that we can use for lighting or running our computers.


What unit is used to measure the electric force that causes the electrons to move?

This question is incorrect. Electricity is defined as the accumulation/ movement of electrons. The reason that electrons move is the same reason gravity exisits. They are just natural phenomena. There is no electric force that makes electrons move. It is the attractive/ repulsive forces between the protons and electrons. There is no such defined force you are asking about. The closest unit to answer this question is the Coloumb.


How electric iron become hot when electric current passes through it?

The electrons in the current have a lot of energy due to the tiny electric force on each one and the very large number of electrons involved. As they move from atom to atom in a metal conductor, some of this energy redistributes to the metal atoms. This energy causes the conductor atoms to move faster, which means they get hotter, and the heat flows to the surface of the iron.

A conductor


What is needed for heat to flow through a conductor?

You from concord lol, oh and its free moving electrons...


Do good conductor causes fire?

Yes, good conductors can cause fires. This is because they have valence electrons which will help move the fire to the other sources.


Is a conductor a kind of matter electrons can move through?

Yes it is.


Which would cause most of the free electrons to move in a conductor to move in the same direction?

In the theory of electricity, you must have a current for electrons to all move in one direction.


What objects act like a conductor and insulator?

The substances which have free electrons(which move freely ) act as conductor while those whose electrons held tightly (which can not move freely) are insulator.
