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.

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
Why is an electricity not flow in an open circuit?
The electricity will flow from higher potential to lower potential in a closed circuit.
What kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electrons?
what kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electrons
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 does an insulator affect the flow of electricity?
It prevents the flow of electricity since they do not have mobile electrons or mobile ions to allow the flow of electricity.
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?
An insulator is a material that stops or reduces the flow of electricity.
Did electricity flow through the wire when the circuit was opened?
Electricity does not flow in an open circut
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.
What is static electricity and current electricity?
current electricity is where electrons flow through a conductor.static electricity electrons do not flow
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.
Do insulators have lower resistance than conductors?
On the contrary, insulators have higher resistance than conductors. Resistance refers to resisting a flow of electricity, making it more difficult for electricity to flow. Conductors conduct electricity, they make it easy for electricity to flow. Insulators prevent the flow of electricity.
