How can electric current change?

In order to change an electric current, you must first change the conductor, doing so will change the flow of atoms which will change the electrical discharge.


What can break chemical bonds of atoms?

A chemical reaction can break the chemical bonds that hold atoms together. A change in temperature can also do it, as can an electric current.

How can the flow of electric current be started and stopped?

Electric current can be started by closing a circuit, allowing the flow of electrons. This can be done by pressing a switch to complete the circuit. To stop the flow of electric current, the circuit needs to be opened, typically by opening the switch, which interrupts the flow of electrons.


Which particles in atoms have a electric charge?
