An electron has an electric field associated with it. This in principle extends out to infinity. If you move the electron from side to side, the electric field all the way out to infinity has to adjust, but the adjustments need time to get out to infinity, so the electric field has waves in it as it tries to respond. Also, the moving electron looks like a current, and this current has a magnetic field associated with it, which also develops a wave-like effect propagating out to infinity. The two together are called an electromagnetic wave. And if you could do it fast enough, you would detect it as a radio wave, or even a light wave. You could get the same sort of result by waving a positive charge about. A very short burst of high frequency radiation can behave like a particle (a photon, a gamma ray etc)
What else can I help you with?
How do you account for fair and poor conductors of electricity?
Fair conductors of electricity have some electrons that can move freely, allowing for the flow of electricity. Poor conductors have fewer free electrons, hindering the flow of electricity. This difference is due to the material's atomic structure and its ability to facilitate the movement of charged particles.
Why do metals giant covalent structures not conduct electricity?
Metals have a sea of delocalized electrons that can move freely throughout the structure, allowing them to conduct electricity. In contrast, giant covalent structures like diamond and silicon have electrons localized in strong covalent bonds, making them insulators and unable to conduct electricity.
What are the atoms that make up electricity?
Electricity is not made up of atoms; it is the flow of electrons through a conductor. Electrons are negatively charged particles found in the outer shells of atoms. When a voltage is applied, electrons move along a conductor, creating an electric current.
Why do compounds not conduct electricity when solid but can when molten?
In the solid state, compounds have fixed positions and cannot conduct electricity because their electrons are not free to move. When the compound is molten, the ions or electrons are free to move, allowing for the flow of electricity.
Which part of the atom 'moves' electricity?
Electrons are the particles that move to carry electricity within an atom. They have a negative charge and are located in the outer shells of an atom. When electrons flow, they create an electric current.
Is electricity is amount of electrons?
Electricity is the flow of electrons
How do electrons produce elctricity?
The movement of free electrons is' electricity. So electrons can not produce electricity; but it is produced by magnetism.
What gives electrons there electricity?
Electrons don't have electricity they only posses energy, Electricity is defined as the flow of electrons! In conductors the flow of valence electrons are called Electricity! therefore inducing a current in it! generally the direction of flow the current is the opposite of the direction of flow of electrons(D.C)!
Electricity produces work when the electrons in a conductor?
Electricity produces work when the electrons in a conductor
What is and electrical current?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
What kind of particle that produces electricity?
Electrons produce electricity. Flow of electrons comprises of current.
What is electricity and what does it contain?
electricity can be described as the transfer of electrons
How is electricity differ from electronics?
Electricity is the flow of electrons.
What kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electrons?
what kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electrons
What does radioactive materials and electricity have in common?
Electrons. Electricity is composed of free electrons and some radioactive decays emit electrons (beta particles)
What has to do with moving electrons?
Electricity
Who do electricity move?
electrons
