Proprons carry a positive charge and are located in the heart of the atom called Nucleous where they can not easily be disloged without destroying the atom or element if you wish. And since we are talking about current then th best examples would be a copper cable to your light builb or a Gold strip on your tv PCB.
Electrons are located on the outer sphere of the nucleus and the outer most layer's electrons in good electric conducting elements are not firmly bonded making it easy for them to move or jump from one atom to another hence allowing an electric current to flow.
What else can I help you with?
Atoms have no electric charge because they?
They have an equal numbers of electrons and protons...MoMMy =)
Why doesnt An atom has no electrical charge?
because the number of protons (which have a positive charge of +1) and the number of electrons (which have a negative charge of -1) are the same. when number of protons = number of electrons, overall charge = 0
A neutral atom has the same number of protons as it does neutrons?
no. an atom is made up of protons neutrons and electrons. protons have a charge of plus one electrons have a charge of minus one neutrons have no charge. therefore the number of protons and electrons must be equal (balancing the charges) for the atom to be neutral. ;)
What are the charges of each part of an atom?
The nucleus of the atom has a positive charge because the protons that found in the nucleus are positive and the neutrons have no charge. The electrons on the electron cloud have a negative charge. This means the entire atom has a neutral charge to it. The atom always has the same number of protons and electrons, which means they cancel their charges out.
What do the dots represent and what does the number of dot tell us about each atom?
There are three kinds of "dots" in a atom. Electrons, neutrons, protons. Electrons have a negative charge, neutrons have no charge, and protons have a positive charge. The numbers of dots represent what kind of atom it is, as on the periodic table of the elements. The atomic number and mass tells you how many electrons/neutrons/or protons there are.
Why does current generally involve the flow of electrons but not protons?
Electrons are much lighter and more mobile than protons, making them the primary charge carriers in most electrical systems. Additionally, protons are typically bound within atomic nuclei and do not move freely like electrons, which is why current generally involves the flow of electrons rather than protons.
When will the flow of protons be involved in an electrical circuit?
In metallic conductors, current is produced by flow of electrons. Usually , protons are not involved in an electrical circuit, however, in case of electrolysis of aqueous NaCl, Positive ions which are protons act as charge carriers and become cause of flow of electric current.
Protons and electrons have this?
Protons and electrons have mass and charge.
Charge carriers in a metal are electrons rather than protons because electrons are?
Charge carriers in a metal are electrons rather than protons because electrons are negatively charged and much lighter, allowing them to move more easily through the metal lattice in response to an applied voltage. Protons are held tightly within the nucleus of atoms and cannot move freely to conduct electricity.
What are the charging of protons electrons and neutrons?
Protons have a positive charge, electrons have a negative charge, and neutrons are neutral and have no charge.
Do protons travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light?
No, protons do not travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light. In a circuit, electrons are the charge carriers that move through the wires at speeds much slower than the speed of light. Protons typically remain within the nucleus of an atom and do not move freely in a circuit.
How does a electric current flow through a circuit?
If a voltage is applied, electrons (or other charge carriers) are subjected to an attraction towards one side, and a repulsion from the opposite side. This results in the current, i.e., the flow of charge carriers.
What charge is any atom?
the charge depends on the number of protons or electrons, if more electrons are there than protons there is a -1 charge, if there are more protons then electrons it is a +1 charge. Called Ions
Is a electric current a flow of electricity?
The flow of electrons from a body at a higher voltage to one at a lower voltage is flow of current.
What charge does an ion have if it has more protons then electrons?
The ion would have a positive charge if it has more protons than electrons. Since protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge, an excess of protons will result in an overall positive charge for the ion.
Whats the difference between electrons and protons?
Electrons have a negative charge and protons have a positive charge.
What are the charges of Protons Neutronsand Electrons?
Protons have + charge and electrons have - charge.Neutrons does not contain any charge.
