When the number of electrons and protons in a sample of matter are equal the matter is?
neutral. Positive and negative charges cancel each others.
In the direction of current?
Current flows from positive to negative.Electrons flow from negative to positive.This is historic, and arbitrary.Another AnswerThe original answer is not wholly correct, and neither is it correct to say that the direction of an electric current is 'arbitrary'. Current direction is defined in terms of its direction through a load (never through the voltage source, such as a battery or generator).An electric current is a flow of charged particles. In metal conductors, these arenegatively-charged electrons. Therefore, in metal conductors, current flows from negative to positive through a load. This is because the negative electrons in a conductor are repelled by an external negative charge and attracted towards an external positive (or 'less negative') charge.In the 18th century, long before the nature of the atom was understood, scientists, such as Benjamin Franklin believed that an electric current was the flow of some mysterious 'fluid' that moved from a higher pressure to a lower pressure. Naturally, the considered the higher pressure to be 'positive' and the lower pressure to be 'negative'. Therefore, they believed current flowed from 'positive to negative'. Faraday agreed with this direction, based on his observations of his experiments in electrolysis (although he thought that current was a 'field' rather than a 'fluid'). Unfortunately, they were wrong.To distinguish the latter from the former, a direction of positive to negative is termed 'conventional flow', whereas a direction of negative to positive is termed 'electron flow'. Modern textbooks use either 'conventional flow' or 'electron flow', depending on the author's preference.
What does you get more with sugar than spice mean?
When it comes to getting things done, it helps to have a positive rather than a negative attitude. Sometimes people refer to this as getting more with sugar than with spice.
Why current flow in the opposite direction of flowing electron?
Electrons do not flow, but they might be though of as 'flowing' as they transfer charges between them. The reason that electron flow is the opposite direction from current is that historical theories of electrical flow (current) treated it as a movement of positive charges rather than negative charges.There is no actual difference that could be discerned, except that we now know that negative charges (electrons) constitute the basis of most common electricity.
What are the positive and negative impact of science and technology on human society?
Among others: (and this is both good and bad) is the fact that science and technology allows 6 billion people to live on Earth rather than a max population of about one million.
