In the simplest case, that would be resistance - but there is also another type of opposition (only relevant for AC) called reactance. The combined effect of resistance and reactance is called impedance.

What is the name for a positively charged conductor through which electrons flow into a device?
Anode The name for a positive charge conductor through which electrons flow into a device is called the life conductor.
What do you call a material that electrons will flow through freely?
conductor
Created around a conductor when electrons flow through that conductor?
Then an 'electrical current' is said to be present in the conductor.
Identify current and what is the unit of measurement?
It is the flow of electrons through a conductor and is measured in amperes.
What is the difference between a conductor and an insulator in terms of electrons?
Electrons are part of an atom, in elements etc. Electrodes are types of medical equipment places on certain parts of your body, that send electrical pulses to your muscles to stimulate them.
What is it called when electrons flow through a wire?
When electrons flow through a conductor such as a wire, it is called, "Electricity".
What is the name for a positively charged conductor through which electrons flow into a device?
Anode The name for a positive charge conductor through which electrons flow into a device is called the life conductor.
What is the steady flow of electrons through a conductor?
The terminology for a steady flow of electrons through a conductor is called the current of the circuit.
What is an electron current?
the flow of electrons through a conductor
What is electron current?
the flow of electrons through a conductor
What happens to the electrons in a conductor when there is a potential difference between the conductor's ends?
The free electrons in a conductor will, when a difference of potential (voltage) is applied at its ends, participate in electron current flow (or just current, if you prefer). The voltage applied to the conductor will drive current through the conductor, and the free electrons will support current flow. These electrons will actually move through the conductor. As electrons are driven into one end of the conductor, the free electrons "shift over" and electrons stream out the other end of the conductor. This is the essence of current flow in conductors.
Is Electricity is the controlled flow of protons through a conductor.?
No. Electrons.
Which of these is a metal wire that allows electrons to flow through it?
conductor
What does an electric conductor?
It permits electrons to flow through it easily.
What do you call a material that electrons will flow through freely?
conductor
The steady flow of electrons through a conductor is?
Its called "current"
What is a material that allows electrons to flow easily through it?
Anything that is classified as a conductor will allow the flow of electrons.
