No, a conductor does not have "positive electrons". Positive electrons are positrons, particles of anti-matter. A conductor, because if it's atomic structure, allows electrons to flow more freely from one atom to the other, thus creating electricity.

The electric current in a medical conductor is carried by positive electrons or electrons?

The answer is electrons. I assume you mean positrons (anti-electrons) by positive electrons, and positrons and electrons go boom when they meet, so we don't see many positrons around.


What is the name for a positively charged conductor through which electrons flow into a device?

Anode The name for a positive charge conductor through which electrons flow into a device is called the life conductor.


A conductor posses 11.2 x 10 to the power -8C of positive charge how many electrons does it have in excess or short?

First of all, the conductor possesses negative charge which means that the electrons are in excess. The no. of excess electrons :- Charge on conductor/charge of electron=11.2 x 10-8/1.6 x 10-19 =7 x 1011 electrons


When a voltage is applied to a conductor free electrons?

When a voltage is applied to a conductor, free electrons gain energy and move in response to the electric field created by the voltage. This movement of electrons constitutes an electric current flowing through the conductor.


What is difference between positive and negative conductor?

There is no positive and negative conductor. There are just two ends of a conductor, namely positive and negative. It is usually said that electricity flows from the positive to the negative side of a conductor, but scientists have discovered, that current consists of electrons that always flows from the negative to the positive side.


What flow of electrons move through a conductor?

In a conductor, the flow of electrons is known as an electric current. Electrons move from the negative terminal of a voltage source to the positive terminal, creating a flow of charge that can power devices connected to the circuit.


A conductor differs from an insulator in that a conductor is an?

A conductor is a material that has one or a few electrons in the outer shell of its atoms. These electrons are easily knocked loose, or are already moving about in the material. When a voltage is applied to a conductor, these electrons are repelled by the negative polarity and attracted by the positive polarity. Their movement is called "current". a conductor is a material that transports electrons and electricity can pass through it, metals are good conductors. a insulator is something that is a barrier to electrons and can not pass electricity, rubber is a good insulator.


Why free electrons does not leave conductor?

Free electrons are bound to the conductor's lattice structure by electrostatic forces, preventing them from leaving. Additionally, the presence of positive nuclei within the lattice attracts the negative electrons, keeping them within the material. The random thermal motion of electrons within the conductor is not sufficient to overcome these forces and cause them to escape.


Electricity produces work when the electrons in a conductor?

Electricity produces work when the electrons in a conductor


What happens When a positively charged conductor is earthed?

As we know that in normal current flow, electrons passage is always from the negative to positive side , now in the case of earth it acts as a ground to the positive charge, and current flows from positive charge to the earth, which acts as a anode and as we know a passage of current occurs only if there is negatively charge electron flowing towards positively charged cathodes. So electrons may flow from earth neutralizing the positive charge.


When a positive electrical charge comes in contact with the neutral electrical charge what happens?

Yes, because the neutral conductor will transfer its electrons to the postitively charged conductor.


What particle flows to produce electric current?

Electrons are the particles that flow to produce an electric current in a conductor like a wire. When a potential difference is applied across a conductor, electrons move from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, creating an electric current.
