Electricity is measured by amperes, not by counting electrons. And of course, different circuits have different numbers of amperes moving through them anyway. However, for a very rough estimate, there would normally be something on the order of a trillion trillion electrons involved in a normal electric current. Individual electrons are very small and very numerous.

∙ 8y agoThe amount of energy is measured in joules.
Related units - which are not exactly energy - include:
* Power, measured in watts, which is equal to joules/second.
* Voltage, measured in volts, which is the energy per unit charge (joules/coulomb).

When electrons are moving from negative pole to positive pole in the circuit then current in the circuit will be moving in which direction?
always current flow from the opposite direction of electron
What supplies the electrons that will flow through the circuit?
The metals making up the circuit contain electrons themselves, and when they are together they form a conduction band (a 'sea' of delocalised electrons moving freely around positive atomic kernels) between the bonded metals. So no electrons are actually 'poured in', they are just pushed around.
What does the work in an electric circuit?
The load that is connected in a circuit is what does the work in the circuit.
What is a electrical circuit?
An electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load". ---Nerd
Is true if there is voltage in circuit there must be electrons flowing through the circuit.?
No. For electrons to flow, you need a current.
What part of the atom is moving through the circuit?
Electrons
When electrons are moving from negative pole to positive pole in the circuit then current in the circuit will be moving in which direction?
always current flow from the opposite direction of electron
What unit is used for counting electrons in a circuit?
Moving - amperes. Stored - coulombs.
What is the unit used for counting electrons in a circuit?
Moving - amperes. Stored - coulombs.
How are electrons related to electricity?
because electrons are the only particles that can move in an atom. so when current flows through a circuit it is really electrons moving
A closed path through which electrons can flow is?
A closed path through which electrons flow is known as a circuit.
Which of these is associated with he kinetic energy of electricity?
Moving Electrons.
Are electricons used up in a circuit?
No, electrons are not used up in a circuit. The movement of these electrons provides usable power, but the flow of electrons (defined as current) does not terminate at some random location, it continues back to the source (ie, electrons flow in a loop from the power plant, out to your home, back to the power plant). Mechanical and chemical energy are used to start these electrons moving; this is the energy you use when you use electricity.
Electrons move in a circuit and have millions and millions of what?
Electrons move in a circuit and have millions and millions of collision's.
What is the name of charged particles which flow when a metal conducts electricity?
Electrons. Electrons flowing in a circuit are measured in Ampere's. 1 Ampere = 6.25 X 10 to the eighteen power electrons moving from point A to point B. (See joules)
What supplies the electrons that will flow through the circuit?

What type of circuit allow electrons to flow constantly?
an open circuit allows electrons to flow constantly
