Regarding electricity, the opposite force to a current flow is called "resistance" for Direct Current [DC] circuits, and "inductance" for Alternating Current [AC]. Regarding fluids [like air, water, or oil for example] that opposite force is refered to as "drag."

What flow is equal to and opposite of electron flow?

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


What is the direction of current due to flow of electrons if it is not conventional current?

The direction of current due to flow of electrons is opposite to the direction of conventional current. This is because electrons have a negative charge, so when they flow in a wire, they are actually moving in the opposite direction to the current flow defined by convention.


What is the opposite of a electric current?

The opposite of an electric current is the absence of an electric current, meaning no flow of electric charge through a conductor.


What is the electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to is?

The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the resistance.


In physics what's the opposite of insulator?

The opposite of an insulator in physics is a conductor. Conductors allow electrical current to flow easily, while insulators inhibit the flow of current.


What pressure or force that causes current flow through a conductor is caleed?

The pressure or force causing current to flow through a conductor is called voltage.


When using kirchhoffs current law if negative answer is found for current flow what does this indicate?

A negative answer in a Kirchhoff's Current Law calculation indicates that the assumed direction of current flow was incorrect. It suggests that the actual direction of current flow is opposite to the assumed direction. Therefore, the sign of the calculated current should be corrected to reflect the actual flow direction.


In which direction does conventional current flow?

Conventional current is defined as the flow of positive charges. If the actual flow is negative particles (as is often the case; usually electrons), the conventional current flows in the direction opposite to the electron flow.


What causes a posite current in a battery?
