What gives electrons there electricity?

Electrons don't have electricity they only posses energy, Electricity is defined as the flow of electrons! In conductors the flow of valence electrons are called Electricity! therefore inducing a current in it! generally the direction of flow the current is the opposite of the direction of flow of electrons(D.C)!


What are materials called that do not allow a easy pathway flow of electricity?

They are usually called semi-conductors.


What is the difference between a complete and incomplete circuit?

In the simplest form; The difference between a complete and incopmlete circuit is... Complete means that electricity CAN and WILL flow through it where as with an incomplete circuit does not have the ability to conduct current is broken... Here is an example. -----/----- Incomplete cicuit, something preventing electricity to flow ----------- complete circuit, electricity can flow.


Does electricity flow back to power plant?

Electricity does flow back to the power plant. This electricity is what forms the circuit needed to actually deliver the electricity to you when you need it.


Do electrons really flow when current flows?

That means that there is actually something - the electrons - flowing in the specified direction. On the other hand, the "conventional current" is defined as the equivalent flow of positive charge. In the case that the charge carriers are negative (such as electrons), the conventional current flows in the opposite direction to the actual movement of charges.

How do you call something that can't hold electricity and something that can?

Something that can't hold electricity is called an insulator, while something that can hold electricity is called a conductor. Insulators prevent the flow of electricity, while conductors allow it to flow freely.


Something that will not let electricity flow through it?

Something that does not allow current to flow is called an insulator. "Electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Note, current is the flow of electrons.


What called the flow of electricity?

The flow of electricity is called the current. It is measured in Amps (I).Current is the flow of electrons around an electrical circuit.


What is the scientific name for something that stops the flow of electricity?

switch...this break the flow of electricity, from a circuit


What is the name of the flow of electricity beginning with f called?

The flow of electricity beginning with "f" is called an electric current.


If something does not conduct electricity what does it mean?

it means its outer shell of the atoms that make up that matter do not let electrons flow freely from one atom to the next (its an insulator). electricity is the flow of electrons from one atom to the next. hope this helps


Something that stops the flow of electricity?

Switches.


What is electricity that does not flow called?

Electricity that does not flow is called static electricity. It is the accumulation of electric charge on an object's surface and it remains in one place until it is discharged.


The flow of electricity is called?

Current


What is the word for something that will electricity flow through it?

Conductive


What is something what will not let electricity flow in a circuit is an?

Insulator


When electric currents are not allowed to flow the circuit is called a?

When electric currents are not allowed to flow, the circuit is called an open circuit. This means that there is a break in the circuit, preventing the flow of electricity from one point to another.
