It is called resistance

Good conductors have a bad resistance

While bad conductors or insulators have good resistance against the flow of electricity

Tendency of material to oppose electron flow?

resistance


Does resistance flow through a circuit?

No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.


What is the unit for measuring the rate of electron flow in a circuit?

Electron flow is known as current. SI unit is Ampere


What flow is equal to and opposite of electron flow?

The "flow of current" is considered to be in the opposite direction.


What is resistance What is an electron Can electrons flow through all materials What materials are good for an electron to go through Is resistance inside of an electron?

Electrical resistance is just that: obstruction to the flow of electrons, which are (generally speaking) electric current. Electrons are what orbit the nucleus of an atom. You can force them out of their various orbital shells by using the proper voltage. Many non-conductive materials are not suitable for electron flow because they have a high resistance, e.g. glass. But if you send enough voltage through materials with high resistance the electrons will arc through the air across the top of the material. Note: You can, with a high enough voltage applied in a particular manner, cause the material itself to "fail" and conduct electricity. The high voltage will destroy the material when it ionizes the atoms within it. We can generate voltages high enough to punch through anything. Almost anything metallic is a good material for an electron to go through. In general, metals are good conductors of electricity. They have a low resistance.

What A material that hinders the passage of electric charge is?

An insulator material such as rubber or plastic hinders the passage of electric charge because it does not allow electrons to flow freely. This property makes insulators useful for insulating and protecting electrical wires and components.


A material that hinders the passage of electric charge is?

An insulator is a material that hinders the passage of electric charge. Insulators have high electrical resistance, which prevents the flow of electric current through them. Examples of insulating materials include rubber, glass, and plastic.

What material permits electron to flow?

Materials that permit electron flow are called conductors. Metals such as copper, aluminum, and gold are good conductors of electricity due to their free-moving electrons. This allows for the efficient flow of electrons through the material.


Why it is that electron does not flow there is no current flowing?

Electrons are in random motion in a material, such that there is no resultant electron movement. Hence a material has no current flow by its own. Only the directed flow of this charge in a direction, will results in current. when we provide sufficient energy (for example by mean of applied potential difference ) the net motion of the electron gives rise to the current flow.


Does resistance flow through a circuit?

No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.


Which metals that are not conductor that did not permit the flow of electric?

Metals that are poor conductors of electricity include tungsten, bismuth, and manganese. These metals have high resistivity due to their electron configuration, which hinders the flow of electric current through them.


Why do certain materials have electric resistance?

Certain materials have electric resistance due to the collisions between the electrons and atoms within the material, which hinders the flow of electric current. The resistance is caused by factors such as the type of material, temperature, and impurities present in the material.


What is a material that does not let heat flow through it easily?

Plastic.


What is a material that allows electron to flow easily or with little resistance?

Those are the materials we loosely call "conductors".
