The electrons are forced to move in one direction (on average) through the wire, due to a voltage potential between one end of the wire and the other. The electrons are repelled away from the negative end and attracted toward the positive end.
Current flowing through the wire induces a magnetic field around the wire.

What is a vacuum discharge tube?
A closed vessel having electrodes at either end and containing agas at low pressure. When a sufficient voltage is applied to theelectrodes, an electric current flows through the gas. Dischargetubes can be used to prevent current flow below a certainvoltage; they can also function as lamps by the use of ionizinggas, which glows when current flows through the tube.
What happens when the circuit is closed?
Current flows
What particle flows to produce electric current?
Huge numbers of electrons do.
What was Hans christian oeresteds hypothesis on electric current flows?
a magnet...!
How the charge on a wire changes when an electric current flows in the wire?
2 plus 2
What is given of when you give water a current?
Hydrogen and oxygen collect on the electrodes when a electric current flows through the water.
The flow of current in electrodes is in which direction?
The ELECTRONS flow from the negative to the positive terminal. But it is considered that the electric current flows from the positive to the negative terminal.
Why you get electric shock when current flows opposite direction in a conductor?
When current flows in a conductor you do not get an electric shock provided you do not touch the conductor.
If an electric current flows from negative to positive what happens when the current flow meets?
The current never really "meets" anywhere; It is at constant velocity in all parts of the circuit. Negative to positive is the direction it flows, nothing more.
When a electric current flows through a wire it creates a?
When an electrical current flows through a wire it creates what is called an Electro Magnetic Field.A magnetic field is create when an electric current flows through a wire.

What is a magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire?
A magnet created when electric current flows through a coil of wire is called an electromagnet.

What flows through an electric circuit?
An electrical current.
What is a path through which electric current flows?
"circuit"
When too much current flows through a condutor it is called a?
electric current
Is the amount of current that flows in the wire of electric circuit the same as the current that flows in the filament of the light connected in that circuit?
yes
