What flows through wires that are hooked to a battery?
Electrons flow through wires that are hooked to a battery. The battery's negative terminal repels the electrons, while the positive terminal attracts them.
What form of energy flows through a copper wire connecting the two ends of battery?
Electrical Energy. When a copper wire is connected to two ends of battery, the electrons on the -ve terminal (with excess of electrons) move to +ve terminal (electron deficit terminal) to maintain an equlilbrium, hence the energy created by these movement of 'electrons' is called 'electrical' energy
Do electrons leave a battery through the plus terminal?
false. no
From which terminal of a battery are electrons pushed?
electrons come from the negative terminal, then goes around the complete circuit (clockwise) and comes back to the positive terminal. hope that helps!
Conducor in a battery that collects or emits electrons?
In a battery, or voltaic pile, the negative terminal or wire, called the anode, emits electrons in an electrical circuit. The other terminal, called the cathode, collects electrons in an electrical circuit.
Do electron tend to move a region of high potential or lower potential?
Electrons always move 4m a region of low potential 2 higher. While electrons move 4m negative 2 positive terminal they continuously gain energy as work is done on them by the positive terminal to attract them 2wards it. In this process an energy equal to the work done on the electrons ( by the positive terminal ) is gained by the electrons. That is y, as electrons cum closer to the positive terminal they hav high potential stored in them..The electrons, in order to attain this high potential flow 2wards the positive terminal of a battery wen connected in a circuit...

The potential difference of a battery depends on having an excess number of electrons at the negative terminal and a deficient number of electrons at the positive terminal?
That is true but not very - the excess of electrons at the negative terminal is small. The important thing is that if you place a load (radio set, light bulb etc.) on the battery the electrons flow through the load and this movement is supported by energy supplied by chemical action in the battery.
Why do batteries run down?
Batteries are used to store electrical energy. So when you put batteries into a remote control then the remote control uses that electrical energy to preform an action such as, changing the channel.
Do electrons flow from the positive to the negative terminal of a wet cell?
Electrons have a negative charge. For that reason, electrons will always flow in the opposite direction of the current, which flows from positive to negative. Electrons will therefore move from a negative terminal to a positive terminal when we look at the load on a cell. Within the cell, the electrons will flow from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.
What is the positive terminal of the battery called?
It is called the positive + terminal or post, just like you list. Electrons flow for the negative - to the + terminal contrary to popular belief.Another AnswerAs electrons flow through the external circuit from anode (negative terminal) to the cathode (positive terminal) , then the answer is 'cathode'.
The amount of electrical energy utilized in moving the electrons from one terminal point to another in a battery is called?
That quantity has no particular name. It depends on the nature of the external circuit through which the electrons flow from one battery terminal to the other, and on how long it stays connected. In any case, energy is not "utilized in moving the electrons" between the terminals. The potential at one terminal is greater than the potential at the other terminal, causing the electrons to be very energetically desirous of making the jump if only they had some way to get there. We provide the path between the terminals, for their convenience, but as they make the trip, we force them to hand over all of their energy to us. So, we don't use energy to move the electrons. They pay us energy for the privilege of being allowed to move from one terminal to the other.
Electrons can move through objects.?
yes they can move through inanimate objects.
