When any conducting material is connected to provide a continuous path between the

two terminals of a battery, electric current flows through it. On the microscopic level,

electric current is really the flow of electrons, from the battery's negative terminal,

through the conducting path, to its positive terminal.

Electrons with higher energy are located where?

It depends on your definition of high energy. Electrons close to the nucleus have a high positive energy and will require a lot of energy to elevate them to higher orbitals. Electrons far away from the nucleus have the potential to give off a lot of energy falling to inner orbitals.


My Sanyo VPC SI070 Digital Camera keeps on turning off for no reason. I tried changing batteries and some of made it turn on but when i try to turn off the flash or take a picture it turns off.?

try using lithium batteries they work best in digital cameras


Do you put batteries in a flip video camera?

The latest Flip cameras can use battery packs or 2 AA batteries. Slide the lock for the battery compartment on the bottom of the camera to the unlocked position. The panel should then slide down and lift off allowing access to the battery compartment for replacing the batteries.

How do you increase the intensity of the x - ray?

The intensity of the x-ray can be increased by the voltage going to the cathode which will increase the amount of electrons being given off through the vacuum and hitting the tungsten target which means more electrons hitting the target so more x-ray radiation being given off. You can also change how fine the beam is because if you have the beam of electrons focused on one area then the increase of the electrons hitting that one area will cause the increase in x-rays being given off instead of them being spread out over a large area.

What alkali metals give off the most electrons?

all alkali metals give off only one electrons. However cesium will give off electron easily. (Francium is not considered generally as it is radioactive with very short half life period).

Yes, when charging hydrogen gas is released.


What kind of power does a lithium battery give off?

Lithium batteries provide electrical power. This power is generated by the flow of electrons through the battery's internal structure, producing a voltage that can be used to power electronic devices.

Does oxidation give off oxygen?

No, oxidation is a chemical reaction that involves the loss of electrons from an atom or molecule. It does not give off oxygen as a byproduct.


How do circuits work step by step?

1) Electrons flow from a positive to a negative voltage source. 2) The path taken by the electrons through the circuit depends on the resistance of the various circuit elements. 3) Sensors attached to the circuit provide real world inputs and outputs. 4) All circuits are made using transistors. Transistors act like taps. Open the tap with a small amount of effort (a few electrons) allows a large volume of water (a large number of electrons) to flow. Analog circuits (e.g. Amplifiers) work by varying the amount of how open the tap is. Digital circuits (e.g. Computers) work by switching taps fully on or off.


What groups of atoms give off the most energy when they gain electrons?

How are batteries connected in a flashlight?

The electrons from the battery go through the wiring to the bulb. Inside the bulb, they heat a tungsten wire so hot that it glows, giving off light.


How is electricity produced in a flashlight?

When a flash light is switched on the circuit between the lamp and the batteries is complete. When the circuit is complete, the electrons flow from the positive terminal of the batteries through the tungsten filament back to the negative terminal of the batteries. Once the electricity flows through the filament it starts glowing producing a bright light. When the the torch light is switched off the circuit is broken and the flow of electricity is disrupted switching off the light.


What elements easily give up electrons?

Group 1 elements, such as lithium, sodium, and potassium, easily give up electrons because they have one electron in their outer shell and are highly reactive. Additionally, elements in Group 17, such as fluorine and chlorine, can also easily gain electrons.
