Protons don't usually move around (except as ions, or parts of ions, in a solution). Electrons move around much more easily, because of their much lower mass.
What else can I help you with?
What are the moving charges that make up an electric current?
In a conducting material, the moving charges that make up an electric current are electrons. In an electrolyte solution, the moving charges can be ions, both positively and negatively charged, depending on the direction of the current flow.
Why is it that protons are not considered a source of moving charge for current flow?
Protons are held within the atomic nucleus and do not typically move in a conducting material or a circuit. Current flow in a conductor is primarily due to the movement of free electrons. Since protons are not free to move in a conductor, they are not considered a source of moving charge for current flow.
Which is more useful static or current electricity?
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
What do you call it when charges are moving?
When charges are in motion, it is called electric current. Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor.
What is energy of moving charges called?
The energy of moving charges is called kinetic energy. This is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion.
What is moving electrical charges measured in amperes?
Charges, whether moving or not, are measured in coulomb, not in amperes.Amperes is the unit of current - coulombs per second.
True or false Moving current has electrical energy?
It is true that moving current has electrical energy.
What is needed for an electrical current to flow?
The definition of a current is a collection of moving charges. Hence for current to flow, one needs charge and one needs it to move. One gnerally aciees this on Earth with a conductor and a voltage or potential difference that creates and electric field and charges feel a frorce and move creating current. The conductor may be a wire and the charges may be electrons. The conductor might also be water with dissolved salt and the electric field causes the salt ions to move and it is the moving ions that constitute the current. If you are the Sun and you are producing electrons and protons on the solar wind, then complex electromagnetic fields may have ejected the charges from the sun, but the current that is the charge moving through space is maintained just hy the inertial of the particles. You don't need an electric field to maintain the current and you don't need a conductor to hold the charges. For a current to flow, you need net charge moving. That is all. Current is technically charge density times velocity.
The energy of moving electric charges are called?
Electrical energy
How does the size of the current affect the speed of charges moving in wires?
It has no effect at all.
The difference-relationship between static and current electricity?
Static electricity is the buildup of electric charge on the surface of an object, while current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. Static electricity involves stationary charges, whereas current electricity involves moving charges. When static electricity is discharged, it can create a current flow.
Is Poleward-moving ocean current is considered a warm current?
yes it is a warm current
