A path along which electrons can flow?

A conductor is a material that allows electrons to flow freely along a path due to its low resistance. Examples of conductors include metals like copper and aluminum.


What causes resistance in electrical conductors?

An electrical current is simply the flow of free electrons in and on the conductors. So they are a bit like water molecules in a garden hose. And like those water molecules the flow of free electrons can be physically impeded by whatever is in or on the electrical conductor. When a material is a good conductor, the atoms and molecules of that good conductor do not get in the way of the free electrons. They do not resist the flow of those electrons very much. So even with just a low voltage to push the electrons along, the flow, the current of the electrons is high. But when a material is a bod conductor, the atoms and molecules of that bad conductor do physically get in the way of those free electrons so that they cannot flow freely through the conductor. The resistance is high in a poor conductor. So it takes a relatively higher voltage to push electrons along in a bad conductor...if indeed they can be pushed at all. Some materials are so bad at conducting it's almost impossible to move those electrons along.

What is needed for heat to flow through a conductor?

You from concord lol, oh and its free moving electrons...


What subatomic particle is responsible for moving electrical current?

Electrons are the subatomic particles responsible for moving electrical current in a conductor. The flow of electrons from one atom to another creates an electric current.


How an insulated conductor can be charged and discharged?

An insulated conductor can be charged by rubbing it with another material to transfer electrons. The excess electrons will distribute themselves along the surface of the conductor due to repulsion. The conductor can then discharge by connecting it to a conductive path that allows the electrons to flow away.


What is a path along which negative charges can flow?

A path along which negative charges can flow is called a conductor. Conductors are materials that allow the movement of electrons, such as metals. Electrons flow through conductors in response to an electric field or voltage difference.


Can flow of an electrons interrupt in a conductor?

Yes, the flow of electrons in a conductor can be interrupted if there is a break in the circuit, such as when a wire is disconnected or damaged. Additionally, high resistance in the conductor can impede the flow of electrons, reducing the current.


What is the movement of electrons along a conductor called?

It is called, "electric current", and is measured in "Amperes".
