Are protons free to drift in metals?
In metals protons are free to move btw atoms throughout the piece of metal.
What is the conductivity of electricity?
conductivity is the ratio of current density to the electric field
How do you strip hydrogen from water?
Electrolysis - pass electric current through it
Do protons move with the electric current?
From what I learned in High School, no, protons do not move with electric current. Remember, protons are fixed in the nucleus of the atom. It is the electrons in the outer orbitals which can be transferred.So, with regards to electric current, more specifically, conventional current, electrons conduct the charge through the current carrying conductors from the positive terminal of the cell to the negative terminal of the cell. Try to think of it as though the electrons touch the positive terminal of the cell, which cancels out their charge and makes them slightly positive. This causes them to be attracted towards the negative terminal of the cell. Note: THIS DOES NOT REALLY HAPPEN... IT IS JUST A METHOD OF REASONING.If you are interested, there is research being done about 'positrons' (electrons with a positive charge). You can use a search engine to find it.
When an electric current passes through water what new substances form?
whe n a eletric current passes through water what new substance forms
Do protons travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light?
Electricity, this may be electrons in a direct current. In an alternating current the electrons stay where they are and it is only the energy that moves between electrons.
Electricityis produced by the movement of protons?
No. If a flood of protons did move from place to place, that certainly would constitute an electric current. But that's not what's happening when something in your hand, in your home, or in your car has an electric current in it. Those electric currents are the movement of electrons through the wires or cables that we see around us in daily life.
What is the role of electrical force in chemical reaction?
The passage of an electric current through a conducting liquid causes chemical reactions.The resulting effects are called chemical effects of electric current
The flow of electrons through a conductor is called?
electric current
What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
What are electromagents?
Magnets that are turned on by passing an electric current through them, and turned off by not allowing an electric current through them.
Why steel becomes a permanent magnet after electric current is passed through it?
Electric current is magnetic so when electric current pass through steel , steel will have the electric power and may be magnetic for awhile
What is main reason of electric shocking?
Current passing through a part of the body, resulting from a voltage difference applied to 2 points on the body. Electric current passing through the body can greatly interfere with the functioning of muscles and nerves, because it's exactly what they use in the process of their normal functions, but much much greater.
Electrical current is formed?
well if u put particles through the current they come out then u recharge then maximize then balance so it has to be equal you need protons nuetrons an electron .then mix them all together and u have an electric current
What happen when electric current is passed through water'?
when electric current is passed through acidified water hydrogen gas is released at the cathode..
What kills you when you get an electric shock?
electric current through your nerves and/or muscles, especially through your heart
What is it that travels through an electric circuit at nearly the speed of light?
the wave front of electric current. the electrons themselves move much slower but they keep pushing electrons ahead of them on resulting in a wavefront that moves at almost the speed of light.
