The definition of electricity is the flow of charge. Usually our charges will be carried by free-flowing electrons.
Negatively-charged electrons are loosely held to atoms of conductive materials. With a little push we can free electrons from atoms and get them to flow in a generally uniform direction.
A closed circuit of conductive material provides a path for electrons to continuously flow.
The charges are propelled by an electric field. We need a source of electric potential (voltage), which pushes electrons from a point of low potential energy to higher potential energy.
What else can I help you with?
When does electricity flow?
When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.
Is voltage a flow of electricity?
no...current is a flow of electricity
What kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electrons?
what kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electrons
Why is an electricity not flow in an open circuit?
The electricity will flow from higher potential to lower potential in a closed circuit.
How does electricity move around a parallel circuit?
By the flow of the electricity from a ammeter ( A )
When does electricity flow?
When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.
Is voltage a flow of electricity?
no...current is a flow of electricity
How is the flow electricity of electricity mearsure?
flow of electricity is measured by an instrument galvanometer
How can electricity flow?
Electricity dose not truly "flow", it is the exchange of electrons.
Can electricity flow through metal?
Yes, electricity can flow through metal.
What is the scientific name for something that stops the flow of electricity?
switch...this break the flow of electricity, from a circuit
Did electricity flow through the wire when the circuit was opened?
Electricity does not flow in an open circut
What is the fundamental concept that describes electricity as the flow of protons?
Electricity is the flow of electrons, not protons.
What elements allow electricity to pass through?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A circuit lets electricity flow through it.Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons. Conductors are metal, usually copper or aluminum.Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.Metals are good conductors. They provide little opposition (resistance) to the flow of currentNote that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A conductor lets electrons easily flow in it.
Something that will not let electricity flow through it?
Something that does not allow current to flow is called an insulator. "Electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Note, current is the flow of electrons.
What is and electrical current?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
What is the term for an obstacle that impedes the flow of electricity?
The term for an obstacle that impedes the flow of electricity is "resistance."
