Electricity is the name given to the flow of electrons. Conventionally, the electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive. An individual electron does not make the whole trip instantaneously - an electron moves on to an atom, which then has an excess of charge, and the spare electron is passed on to the next atom, and so on.electrons are charged particles and the flow of these electrons constitute electricity.

What is it called when electrons flow through a wire?
When electrons flow through a conductor such as a wire, it is called, "Electricity".
Flow of electrons at a given point through wire per second?
current
What is a flow of electrons moving along a wire or conductor?
An electric current. <<>> The term used for the flow of electrons through a conductor is amperage.
Is voltage the flow of electrons through a wire or a conductor?
The flow of electrons through a conductor is called electric current.The voltage is the 'pressure' or difference in electric potential between theends of the wire, that encourages each electron to try to move closer toone end and farther away from the other end.
When a magnet is moved alongside a wire what happenes?
the electrons in the wire begin to flow
What is it called when electrons flow through a wire?
When electrons flow through a conductor such as a wire, it is called, "Electricity".
What does a turbine spin around to make electrons flow in a wire?
Not around... moving THROUGH a magnetic field forces electrons to flow through a wire.
Howdoes Electricity flow through a wire?
Electricity flow through a wire as a result of the movement of electrons and hols.
What refers to electric current when electrons always flow in the same direction in the wire?
When electrons always flow in the same direction in the wire it is known a DC (direct current).
Which of these is a metal wire that allows electrons to flow through it?
conductor
What happens when electricity flow through wires?
Electrons move through the wire
What is produced whenever there is a flow of electrons in a wire?
Electric current is the movement of electrons through a conductor.
Why does the diameter of a wire affect its resistance in terms of current being a flow of electrons?
Because its bigger, so more electrons can flow through
What particle is most important for electricity?
Electricity is the flow of electrons through a wire.
Flow of electrons at a given point through wire per second?
current
What is a flow of electrons moving along a wire or conductor?
An electric current. <<>> The term used for the flow of electrons through a conductor is amperage.
If more electrons were flowing through a wire what would be increased?
If more electrons were flowing through a wire, the thing that would be increased would be the current. This is the flow of the carriers of electrical charges.
