Can Electricity flow through a conductor?

Yes, electricity can flow through a conductor because conductors allow the movement of electric charges. The flow of electrons in a conductor is what carries electrical current.


What happens to the electrons in a conductor when there is a potential difference between the conductor's ends?

The free electrons in a conductor will, when a difference of potential (voltage) is applied at its ends, participate in electron current flow (or just current, if you prefer). The voltage applied to the conductor will drive current through the conductor, and the free electrons will support current flow. These electrons will actually move through the conductor. As electrons are driven into one end of the conductor, the free electrons "shift over" and electrons stream out the other end of the conductor. This is the essence of current flow in conductors.

Can electrons flow in conductors?

Yes, electrons can flow through conductors. Conductors are materials that allow the free flow of electric charge, such as electrons, due to their loosely bound electrons. This movement of electrons is what allows the flow of electric current in a conductor.
