False. The imbalance of electrons in an atom does not create electric current. Electric current is the flow of electric charge, which is the movement of electrons through a conductor. The movement of electrons in an atom due to an imbalance is known as an electric field, which can lead to the flow of electric current when a conductor is present to allow the movement of electrons.
Yes, a current is the flow of electric charge, typically carried by negatively charged electrons moving through a conductor. The motion of these electrons constitutes an electric current.
No. For electrons to flow, you need a current.
TRUE
Electrons are subatomic particles with a negative charge that orbit around the nucleus of an atom in specific energy levels. They play a crucial role in chemical reactions by participating in bonding between atoms. Electrons also exhibit wave-particle duality, meaning they can behave as both particles and waves.
True - but the "assumed direction" is opposite to reality.
Yes, current is the flow of electric charge, typically carried by electrons in a conductor. It is measured in amperes and represents the rate at which electrons pass through a given point in a circuit.
No. A battery produces DC, or Direct Current.
No, it is not true. An electrical current (which is a flow of electrons) can only flow from a higher pressure state (higher voltage) to a lower pressure state (lower voltage).
True Knowledge was created in 2007.
Conductors, most metals for example, valence electrons of the atoms can be localized with very little input of energy. Insulators, most non-metals for example on the other hand, offers high resistance to flow electrons through them. In insulators valence electrons of the atoms are tightly bound and therefore at low voltages there is no flow of electrons through them.
