yes of course because the atmosphere full of gaseous and gaseous consist of particles.therefore whenever there is current means there is a movement of electrones.it is electrones which are particle in nature forexample occurence of lighting we see there is a zigzag path because the path of eletrones meaning current always choose the low resistance path.

Objects that conduct electricity poorly are?

Objects that conduct electricity poorly are called poor conductors of electricity or insulators . There is a difference though. Poor conductors of electricity are capable of conduction under certain circumstances while insulators cannot conduct electricity under any condition, example ; air is a poor conductor of electricity as it cannot conduct under normal conditions but lightning is able to pass through it during a storm.


Which metals do not conduct electricity?

all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others all metals conduct electricity but alumiun doesn't conduct it as well as others


Why the diode called polarity switch explain?

A diode will only conduct electricity if the polarity of the current is in the correct direction, because diodes can only conduct in one direction.


How does a bridge rectifier operates?

A: must assume an AC source of greater amplitude of .7volts then when the source reaches .7 volts a diode will conduct if the positive voltage is at the anode then it will proceed to go trough the load and return the current to the diode connected to the negative of the source. That basically finishes one half of the cycle when the AC reverses polarity then the same process of current flow will finish the complete cycle. while different series diode conduct one way the other will not conduct because of reverse biasing. but the load will conduct current one way for both cycles


Is it true the alternating current can pass through a capacitor while the direct current cannot pass through?

Yes.

Does polythene conduct electricy?

Under most circumstances, no. But moisture from the air can provide conductivity.


Can air pass through oil layer?

No, air cannot pass through an oil layer. Oil is a non-porous substance, meaning that it does not allow air or other substances to pass through it. This property makes oil useful for creating barriers or seals.


Does current pass through kerosene?

No, kerosene is an insulator and does not conduct electricity. Therefore, current does not pass through kerosene.


How transformer conduct current through ground?

A transformer doesn't 'conduct current through the ground'. However, in the event of a ground fault in the circuit supplied by a grounded transformer, the resulting fault current will flow through the earth back to the grounded terminal of that transformer's secondary winding.


Does water conduct electricity?

Yes, water can conduct electricity because it contains ions that allow electric current to flow through it.


Why do metals conduct electricity?

Metals conduct electricity because they have free-moving electrons that can carry electric current through the material.


Can electric current pass through alcohol Explain?

Yes, alcohol is a liquid and has delocalised electrons which can carry the electrical current. Edited: Seriously? Unless there are impurities in the alcohol that are electrolytes, alcohol will NOT conduct an electric current. Alcohols are considered as NON ELECTROLYTES, as they do not ionize and thus will not conduct a current. (Dr.J.)


Metal conduct current?

Metal conduct electricity and flow of electricity is the current.


Does a wooden spoon conduct electricity?

Yes, wooden spoons do not conduct electricity. Wood is an insulator, so it does not allow the flow of electric current through it.


Why can metal conduct electricity?

Metals can conduct electricity because they have free electrons that can move easily through the material, allowing electric current to flow.


Does air conduct heat?

The convection of the air causes the particles to heat up. In other words, the heated particles hit the air particles, causing the air particles to heat up. So it doesn't "conduct" heat rather that the air heats up from a heat source.


Can electricity can be pass through milk?

yes, there are enough dissolved salts in milk to conduct some current.
