What is the job of a wire in a torch?

To conduct the flow of electrons/electricity from the battery to the bulb and back.


What determines the strength of the magnetic field when current flows through a conductor?

Magnetic fields currently flows through a conductor is determined by multiplying the number of turns of wire by the current flow. This is what causes electricity.


Electricity is the flow of?

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.


How was the current electricity produced?

ELECT. CURRENT IS BASICALLY THE FLOW OF ELECTRONS FROM ONE POINT TO ANOTHER POINT IN THE CIRCUIT. IN, AC IT IS "PUSHED" THROUGH THE WIRE BY THE MAGNETIZED COIL. ELECTRONS ARE AFFECTED BY MAGNETISM. IN DC, ON PART OF THE BATTERY HAS LESS ELECTRONS THAN THE OTHER. WHEN THESE TWO ARE CONNECTED, THE ELECTRONS FLOWS TO THE HUNGRIER ATOMS. THESE PRODUCES CURRENT OR ELECTRICITY IN THE WIRE.


Why do people use resistors in an electric circuit?

we use resistors in an electric circuit to describe how a wire works and to control the flow of electricity

A path for electricity to flow is a?

A path for electricity to flow is called a circuit. In a circuit, electrical current can flow from the power source through a conductor (such as a wire) to power an electrical device before returning to the power source. A complete circuit is necessary for electricity to flow.


Why do you get electricity when a magnet touches a wire?

When a magnet moves near a wire, it creates a changing magnetic field. This changing magnetic field induces an electric current to flow in the wire through a process called electromagnetic induction, which is why electricity is generated when a magnet interacts with a wire.


Is a wire a conductor or insulator?

A wire is typically a conductor, meaning it allows electricity to flow through it.


How does electricity flow through a wire?

Electricity flows through a wire when electrons move from atom to atom. This movement creates an electric current, which is the flow of electric charge. The flow of electrons is driven by a voltage difference, or potential difference, between the two ends of the wire.
