Electrons have negative charges, and unlike neutrons and protons are located on the outside of the atom. They are generally located in electron clouds around the atom, and stay there because of their attraction to protons that are in the nucleus of the atom.

What does the work in an electric circuit?

The work in an electric circuit is done by the flow of electric charge, typically achieved by the movement of electrons through a conductor. Work is done when a voltage is applied to the circuit, causing the electrons to move and transfer energy to the components in the circuit like light bulbs or motors.


What is the work function of copper and how does it affect the emission of electrons from its surface?

The work function of copper is the minimum amount of energy needed to remove an electron from its surface. A lower work function means it is easier for electrons to be emitted from the surface of copper.


What can be expected to give a spectrum most closely like that of the Helium atom Lithium?

Helium has two electrons around a nucleus so you would look for an element that has two electrons more then filled shells. Lithium has 2 electrons in a filled shell and 1 electron more so it wouldn't work too well. Beryllium has 2 electrons in a filled shell and 2 electrons more so it would work pretty good. Magnesium has 2 electrons in a filled shell, 8 electrons in the next filled shell and 2 more electrons so it would also work pretty good.


What makes a power line work?

A power line works by electrons flowing through from power line to power line but if something interferes with the power lines the flow of electrons will not work. (flow)


How much work does 9V do in moving 8.5x1018 electrons?

The work done by a voltage source (9V) in moving electrons is calculated by multiplying the voltage by the number of electrons and the charge of a single electron (1.6x10^-19 C). Therefore, the work done in this case would be 9V * 8.5x10^18 * 1.6x10^-19 C = 1.224 J.
