What flows from atom to atom to make electricity?

In metals, electricity flows through the movement of free electrons from atom to atom. These electrons can move easily through the material, creating an electric current.

Electrons


What is the difference between electron in flow of current and electron in the atom?

When a current flows through a conductor, free electrons (electrons not bound to a single atom or molecule) move in one direction and we say that electricity flows in the other. In an atom, electrons orbit the nucleus in sometimes complex patterns, and are bound to the atom.


Which part of the atomis responsible for creating electricity?

The electron is the part of the atom that accounts for electricity.


Does magnet create electricity?

When an electric current flows, electrons are being transferred from one atom to another. This electron transfer creates a polarity in the atom, which translates to a magnetic field.


Which part of the atom 'moves' electricity?

Electrons are the particles that move to carry electricity within an atom. They have a negative charge and are located in the outer shells of an atom. When electrons flow, they create an electric current.


To make static electricity what is the only part of the atom that moves?

In static electricity, the only part of the atom that moves is the electrons. When two surfaces rub against each other, electrons can move from one material to the other, leading to a buildup of static charge.


How does electricity flow through a wire?

Electricity flows through a wire when electrons move from atom to atom. This movement creates an electric current, which is the flow of electric charge. The flow of electrons is driven by a voltage difference, or potential difference, between the two ends of the wire.
