That description doesn't fit any electrical term, probably because it's not useful.

The number of electrons passing a single point in the conductor in one second

is proportional to the electrical current, and is described in units of amperes.

What term refers to the flow of electricity?

The term that refers to the flow of electricity is "electric current." It is the movement of electric charge carriers, usually electrons, through a conductor.


What is the difference between the current and electricity?

Current specifically refers to the movement electrons through an electric conductor. Electricity is a more general term.


What electricity refers to the electrical charge an object develops as a result of having an unequal amount of protons and electrons?

Electricity refers to the flow of electric charge through a conductor. This charge can result from an imbalance of protons and electrons in an object, creating a difference in electrical potential that can drive the flow of electrons.


Electricity refers to elections that do not move lighting?

Electricity is electrons moving through a conductor like copper and creating a current. So no it does not create light unless you rune the electricity through a florescent tube.


What electrical unit refers to the number of electronic moving through a circuit per second?

The electrical unit that refers to the number of electrons moving through a circuit per second is amperes, usually denoted as A. It measures the rate of flow of electric charge.


What do you mean by heating effect of current?

Current flowing through any conductor encounters resistance in that conductor. This resistance produces heat. (Think of tires on a car after driving on the highway. Smooth trip, but a small amount of friction (resistance) is inevitable.


What does good conductor mean?

A good conductor refers to a material that allows electricity or heat to easily flow through it due to its high conductivity. Good conductors typically have free-moving electrons that can carry charge or energy efficiently. Examples of good conductors include metals like copper and aluminum.


How many electrons in oxygen-16?

Oxygen-16 has 16 electrons (the 16 refers to the number of electrons, so Oxygen-15 if it exist, will have 15 valence electrons)


What statement would best describe a conductor in electrics?

A conductor in electricity refers to a material that allows electric current to flow through it easily. Conductors typically have low resistance to the flow of electrons and are commonly used in wiring to transmit electricity. Metals like copper and aluminum are commonly used as conductors in electrical systems.


Is drift velocity the velocity of an electron or its displacement?

Drift velocity refers to the average velocity of charge carriers, such as electrons, in a conductor when subjected to an electric field. It represents the overall movement of these charge carriers through the material due to the applied voltage, rather than the displacement of individual electrons.


Which particles refers to the atomic number for an element?

Either the number of protons or the number of electrons in a neutral atom is equivalent to its atomic number.


If fluorine has an atomic number of 9 and an atomic mass of 19 how many electrons does fluorine contain?

The number of electrons is always the same as the atomic number. That gives you the number of protons and electrons. The atomic mass has nothing to do with it. What is the atomic number? That is your answer.
