Why do rocks move in different directions?
First of all, why would rocks move in different directions? Even though rocks could move in different directions, it is not possible for them to move on their own. Rocks have to have force applied to them in order to move.
Electrons can move through objects.?
yes they can move through inanimate objects.
When a potential is applied to pure germanium in what direction do the electrons and holes move?
in pure germanium there are effectively noconduction band electrons or holes, so they don't move at all.
Very energetic particles that move rapidly in all directions in the space outside the necleus of an atom are?
Electrons
Why electron freely in a metal?
The term conductor is generally applied to a substance or material that has a lot of free electrons in it. The name conductor is applied because the free electrons are already there. A material does not have free electrons because it is a conductor, but is a conductor because it has a lot of free electrons. That said, let's look at what's going on. These free electrons have energies that permit them to "wander" through the conductor; they're not "locked into" the structure of the material. And when a voltage (potential difference) is applied, current flows through the conductor because the free electrons are moving. They're made to move by the applied voltage. If we take the case of a wire in a circuit, the wire is a conductor. This wire, say a copper one, has many free electrons in it, and when we apply a voltage, electrons move. The voltage forces electrons into one end of the wire, and the free electrons "shift over" and electrons emerge from the other end of the wire. This movement of free electrons in response to an applied voltage through an conductor is the essence of current flow in that conductor.

What must be applied for electrons to move in the same direction?
electromotive force...

Why do metals conduct electricty?
When external source such as a battery is connected electrons get specific directions to move and condition starts

How can electrons move from one place to another?
Electrons move essentially the way any other form of matter moves; when force is applied to them, they move in accordance with Newton's formula, force equals mass times acceleration. There are also quantum mechanical effects, because electrons are so small. Electrons are described as having probable locations rather than definite locations. But they still move the way matter moves.
What does voltage do to electrons?
It causes them to move. The greater the voltage applied, the greater the current generated (for the same resistive load), and so the more electrons move.
Can an electric current move in two directions at once?
Not simultaneously. Though it can alternate. If you mean in one circuit there can be alternative directions in which the current can move. Electrical currents go from the negative to the positive since electron (electricity is a lot of electrons) is negative so is directed to the positive.
Do all the electrons in a wire move to make the current in a circuit?
No, only the outer electrons of the metal atoms.
Difference between static electricity and dynamic electricity?
There are two types of electricity; dynamic and static electricity. The main difference between these two types is that in static electricity, the electrons do not move but in dynamic electricity, the electrons move either in changing directions or in one direction.
