What is the conventional current flow?
Conventional current flow is the flow of positive charges, or the equivalent flow of positive charges. That is, if what flows is really negative charges (for example, an electron), which flow in one direction, the "conventional current" flows in the opposite direction.
What is a opposite charged?
Opposite charges refer to charges that are different in sign but equal in magnitude. For example, positive and negative charges are considered opposite charges in the context of electricity. Opposite charges attract each other according to the law of electrostatics.
How do different charges react to each other and how does that effect the flow of electricity?
Opposite charges attract each other while like charges repel each other. In a circuit, this interaction between charges causes the flow of electricity as electrons move from areas of high charge to areas of low charge, creating an electric current.
What charges attract in electricity?
opposite charges
What do opposite charges and like charges do when near each other?
opposite charges attract each other and like charges repel each other.
Can electric charges flow through every material?
No, electric charges cannot flow through all materials. Materials that allow electric charges to flow easily are called conductors, while materials that do not allow charges to flow easily are called insulators. Conductors like metals allow charges to flow freely, while insulators like rubber inhibit the flow of charges.
Do things with opposite electrical charges attract each other?
Yes, things with opposite electrical charges attract each other. This is due to the fundamental principle of electrostatics where opposite charges are attracted to each other and like charges repel each other.
The flow of electric charges is called?
The flow of electric charges is current.
What flow is equal to and opposite of electron flow?
The "flow of current" is considered to be in the opposite direction.
Why does current and electrons moves in opposite direction?
In an electrical circuit, current flow is defined as the movement of positive charges. Electrons, being negatively charged, move in the opposite direction of current flow. This convention was established by Benjamin Franklin and has been followed ever since.
What is the condition for the electric potential to be zero between two opposite charges?
The condition for the electric potential to be zero between two opposite charges is when the charges are equal in magnitude and opposite in sign.
Why current flow in the opposite direction of flowing electron?
Electrons do not flow, but they might be though of as 'flowing' as they transfer charges between them. The reason that electron flow is the opposite direction from current is that historical theories of electrical flow (current) treated it as a movement of positive charges rather than negative charges.There is no actual difference that could be discerned, except that we now know that negative charges (electrons) constitute the basis of most common electricity.
