What is a type of machine that makes electricity?
A machine that makes electricity is called a generator. Generators use electromagnetism to convert physical movement into electricity.
What is a path through which current flows?
A path through which current flows is generally called a circuit. Some might say a complete circuit to denote a "closed loop" through which electricity can leave one electrode or contact on a voltage source, travel through some conductors of some kind, and then return to the other electrode or contact on the source.
Electricity can be made by animal manure?
The method of turning manure into electricity is called "biogas" and is a procedure where cattle manure is processed to release methane gas that will be burned as fuel to power a generator.
What is the name of the electrical pressure that causes current to flow in a circuit?
Electrical pressure is called "electro-motive force" (EMF). It is measured in volts. Pressure and the quantity of electricity transmitted can be considered analogous to pressure and quantity of water flowing in pipes: the longer the distance, the higher is the pressure (called the "voltage" for electricity) that is necessary to pump the flow of water (called the "flow of electrical charge, which is also known as the "electric current"). That is why, for long distance transmission, high pressure (voltage for electricity) is required, failing which, the current - and therefore the power - will not reach the intended destination. Instead, it will be lost (also called "dissipate") along the way. We can think of electrical current as the quantity of electricity which will be drawn from the pipeline (= cables for electricity) at the pressure (= voltage) required.
On Seinfeld why couldn't Elaine find a doctor to treat her?
It was written down in her chart that she was difficult. In her pursuit to get that removed she only made things worse.
What is the path which electricity travels called?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
What is the scientific name of a substance that lets electricity flow through it?
A substance that lets electricity flow through it is called a conductor (or sometimes, to be more explicit, it is called an electrical conductor). Substances which do not permit the flow of electricity are called insulators.
What is a pathway that electricity travels through called?
A circuit
What pathway through which electricity travels is called?
A circuit
How does electricity flow through a conductor this is called?
Conduction
What is it called when electrons flow through a wire?
When electrons flow through a conductor such as a wire, it is called, "Electricity".
Material that do not let electricity go through is called?
Insulator!It is called an Insulator.
Material that allows electricity to pass through it easily?
Metallic conductors such as copper, aluminum, silver and gold are some examples of materials through which heat and electricity can easily flow.
