The continuous flow of positive charges is called current
A continuous flow of negative charges is called an electric current.
The flow of electric charges is current.
Electronic flow is true. Conventional flow was thought to have positive charges flowing from the + terminal to the - terminal. This was before we knew that it is actually the electrons which flow, and the positive charges cannot move out of their atomic nuclei. Now that electrons have been detected, and protons are known to stay within the nucleus unless a nuclear reaction takes place, we know that it is the electrons that flow from the - terminal to the + terminal. This is known as electronic flow.
A flow of charge is called a current. It is measured in coulombs per second per amperes.
called an insulator
The continuous flow of positive charges is called current
current is produced.
A continuous flow of negative charges is called an electric current.
No, it's called 'current'.
electric current
The flow of charges in an electric circuit is enabled by the presence of a power source, such as a battery or generator, which creates a potential difference or voltage. This voltage difference causes the charges to move through the circuit, from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, in a continuous loop. The flow of charges is driven by the electric field created by the voltage source.
Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.
Old (very old) tradition, when electricity was assumed to flow from positive to negative. (They hadn't figured out electrons yet.)
An electric circuit.
The flow of electric charges is current.
Conventional current flow is the flow of positive charges, or the equivalent flow of positive charges. That is, if what flows is really negative charges (for example, an electron), which flow in one direction, the "conventional current" flows in the opposite direction.
A current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction is called direct current (DC). In DC, electrons flow continuously in one direction from the negative to the positive terminal of a power source.
