When electrons travel through a filament, they collide with atoms in the filament material. These collisions cause the electrons to lose energy and heat up the filament, which then emits light. This process is how an incandescent light bulb produces light.
When voltage is changed, the distance electrons travel in a circuit will increase if the voltage is increased, and decrease if the voltage is decreased. This is because voltage is directly proportional to the energy of the electrons, which affects how far they can travel through the circuit.
yes
It's kinda like a fire if there is nothing to burn the fire wont go there, so with electrons if there is nothing to travel in to (like a switch, a light bulb, a buzzer ect.) the electrons wont go there because they can't just travel through air like fire can't just travel through air.
Electrons orbits around the nucleus, which have neutrons and protons. When there is an imbalance of protons and electrons, it creates a static electricity. What I am trying to say is, nothing really special happens.
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.
Electricity is not the same as electric light. Electricity is the flow of electrons from one atom to the next. As electrons travel through the filament of a light bulb the resistance of the filament opposes the flow of current, which creates heat. The filament will heat up so much that it produces a visible light.

If a filament is replaced by a shorter wire, the resistance will decrease. Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the wire, so a shorter wire will have lower resistance. This is because there is less material for the electrons to travel through, resulting in less opposition to their flow.

Electrons, that make up an Electric Current move at the Speed of Light.Further CommentAlthough electrons move rapidly, their movement is quite chaotic. But the actual drift of electrons along a conductor -i.e. current- is V-E-R-Y slow. So slow, in fact, that an individual electron, flowing through a flashlight bulb's filament, is unlikely to travel the length of that filament during the lifetime of its battery,
Through ions or electrons.

Nothing happens, because it's impossible.
In a circuit, electrons travel through a conductive path typically made of materials like copper wires. The movement of electrons creates an electric current that powers the circuit components.
Electrons can travel through a vacuum because there are no atoms or molecules to collide with, allowing them to move freely. In air, electrons collide with the molecules present, which disrupts their movement and prevents them from traveling efficiently.
it works with a circuit.these tiny microscopic molecules travel through the wire. the filament, a very thin metal lets the molecules travel through, but at a much slower pace. this then causes it to burn and light the bulb up.
When an electric current flows through a light bulb, it heats up the filament inside, causing it to emit light. The electricity travels through the filament, which is usually made of tungsten, a material with high resistance that produces heat and light when a current passes through it. This process is known as incandescence.
