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)!
What is electrical flow?
flow of electrcity is nothing but the flow of electrons from one point to another point ina conductor
How do electrons flow in polarization?
china
The flow of electrons is a lot like the flow of what?
The flow of electrons is a lot like flow of fluid particles(say water particles). This is based upon the so called "hydrostatic analogy" of electrical circuits.
Why resistor is an electronic device?
electronic circuits are those which deals with flow of electrons. in general electronic devices are categorized based on the flow of e as conductor, insulator and semiconductor. since resistor resists the flow of electrons (it deals or works with electrons), it is consider as an electronic device.
Current and voltage?
The current is the flow of electrons The voltage is the push the power source gives to the electrons to make the current faster. The flow of electrons is electricity HI!! By the way I am amazing! Trust me.
Push that causes electrical charges to flow through a conductor?
Electromotive force is the cause that pushes the electric charges to flow through the conductor. Especially electrons flow through the metallic conductors.
Electricity is the flow of?
The definition of electricity is the flow of charge. Usually our charges will be carried by free-flowing electrons. Negatively-charged electrons are loosely held to atoms of conductive materials. With a little push we can free electrons from atoms and get them to flow in a generally uniform direction. A closed circuit of conductive material provides a path for electrons to continuously flow. The charges are propelled by an electric field. We need a source of electric potential (voltage), which pushes electrons from a point of low potential energy to higher potential energy.
In a circuit electric current is flow of?
It is a flow of electrons.
Electricity is the flow of which subatomic particles?
Electricity is the flow of electrons across a conductor. A conductor can be many things, copper is one of the most efficient. Voltage is what moves the electrons. It works like the pressure that pushes water through a hose.
How does current flow in a conductor?
A conductor has a large number of free electrons which under sufficient voltage(electrical push) will flow in unison speed and direction. Thus creating a electrical current.
A path along which electrons can flow?
electrons can flow through circuits.
What is the push behind current?
The push behind a current is voltage.
Air has been removed and electrons flow?
air has been removed and electrons flow

What causes resistance in electrical conductors?
An electrical current is simply the flow of free electrons in and on the conductors. So they are a bit like water molecules in a garden hose. And like those water molecules the flow of free electrons can be physically impeded by whatever is in or on the electrical conductor. When a material is a good conductor, the atoms and molecules of that good conductor do not get in the way of the free electrons. They do not resist the flow of those electrons very much. So even with just a low voltage to push the electrons along, the flow, the current of the electrons is high. But when a material is a bod conductor, the atoms and molecules of that bad conductor do physically get in the way of those free electrons so that they cannot flow freely through the conductor. The resistance is high in a poor conductor. So it takes a relatively higher voltage to push electrons along in a bad conductor...if indeed they can be pushed at all. Some materials are so bad at conducting it's almost impossible to move those electrons along.
