A current usually involves the movement of charged particles. ANY charged particle will do; though quite often, it is the electron (negative charge). Other options include holes (positive), and ions (positive or negative) in a solution.

What subatomic particle is responsible for moving electrical current?

Electrons are the subatomic particles responsible for moving electrical current in a conductor. The flow of electrons from one atom to another creates an electric current.


Are the particles moving?

Subatomic particles cannot be prevented from moving.


What are moving electrons called?

Moving electrons or other charged carriers is called electricity. The amount of electrical pressure pushing the electrons is called the voltage. The number of electrons moving past some point in a given time is called the current. Electrons are subatomic particles (smaller than atoms) called leptons.


Which of the following subatomic particles are rapidly moving in orbit?

electrons


What subatomic particles must be moving?

You think probable to electrons.


What subatomic particle is responsible for producing electric current?

The electron.


Am electic current a flow of these subatomic particles?

These particles are the electrons.


Which subatomic particle is responsibe for electricity?

Electricity can flow due to the movement of ANY charged particle. A current in metals is due to the movement of electrons, and this is the most common case for a current. However, a current can also be carried by holes, by positive or negative ions, etc.


What subatomic particle flows to cause a current?

Electrons are the subatomic particles that flow to cause an electric current in a circuit. They move from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a power source, such as a battery or generator.


What are the three subatomic models?

The three subatomic models are the plum pudding model, the nuclear model, and the current model known as the quantum mechanical model. These models describe the structure of the atom and the arrangement of subatomic particles within it.


What is an upward moving current of air?

An upward moving current of air is called an updraft.


What subatomic particle is most directly related to current electricity?

Electrons are mostdirectlyrelated to electric current. (Electric current is caused by the movement of electrons between atoms.)
