Electricity is a term associated with of flow of electrons. current will flow because of potential (voltage) difference. and when there is a potential difference there will be loss associated with it. In order to set a voltage difference with respect to the source (as you have not mention the source) we need to let the other terminal touch the ground. In some cases earth provide a return path for the electrons.

When you pass heat which metal will produce electricity?

No single piece of metal will produce electricity when heated. You will need two different metals, mechanically touching. When the join between the metals is heated, it will produce electricity, dependant on the metals used. This is known as a 'thermocouple'.


Can electricity pass through the atmosphere of earth?

Yes, electricity can pass through the Earth's atmosphere, as lightning is a natural phenomenon that demonstrates this. Lightning occurs when electrical charges build up in clouds and then discharge through the atmosphere, creating a visible bolt of electricity between clouds or from clouds to the ground.


How can electric current pass through a person?

Electric current can pass through a person if they provide a path for the flow of electricity, such as by touching a live wire. The human body is a conductor of electricity, so if there is a voltage difference across the body, current can flow through it. This can result in electric shock and potential injury or death.

What things can electricity pass through?

Electricity can pass through conductive materials such as metals and water. Insulating materials such as rubber and plastic do not allow electricity to pass through them. The ability of a material to conduct electricity is determined by the movement of electrons within the material.


Would electricity be able to pass through wood metal or plastic?

Electricity can pass through metal, since it is a good conductor of electricity. Wood and plastic are not conductive and will typically not allow electricity to pass through them, unless they are damp or have conductive materials present.
