What is the steady flow of electrons through a conductor?
The terminology for a steady flow of electrons through a conductor is called the current of the circuit.
What happens to the electrons in a conductor when there is a potential difference between the conductor's ends?
The free electrons in a conductor will, when a difference of potential (voltage) is applied at its ends, participate in electron current flow (or just current, if you prefer). The voltage applied to the conductor will drive current through the conductor, and the free electrons will support current flow. These electrons will actually move through the conductor. As electrons are driven into one end of the conductor, the free electrons "shift over" and electrons stream out the other end of the conductor. This is the essence of current flow in conductors.
What happens when an electrical current runs through a conductor?
When an electrical current runs through a conductor, electrons flow in the direction of the current. This flow of electrons creates a magnetic field around the conductor. The amount of current flowing through the conductor is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field produced.
What is an electron current?
the flow of electrons through a conductor
What is electron current?
the flow of electrons through a conductor
The movement of electrons through a conductor is called?
The motion of electrons is called elecricity. Electricity is used to represent the liberated out put by the movement of electrons.
What types of energy move through a conductor?
In a conductor, electrical energy in the form of electrons moves, creating an electric current. This current produces both magnetic and heat energy as the electrons flow through the conductor.
What does current mean in physics terminology?
current is flow of electrons through conductor
When an electric charge moves through a conductor there is an electric in the conductor?
When an electric charge moves through a conductor, an electric current is generated in the conductor. The flow of electrons creates a flow of current in the conductor, which is the movement of electric charge through the material.
What is present in a conductor when an electrical charge moves through it?
In a conductor, free electrons are present that can move when an electrical charge is applied. These free electrons are responsible for the flow of current through the conductor.
What is a flow of electrons moving along a wire or conductor?
An electric current. <<>> The term used for the flow of electrons through a conductor is amperage.
What is produced whenever there is a flow of electrons in a wire?
Electric current is the movement of electrons through a conductor.
