Electronic charges will flow when a potential difference between the two locations, and an adequate path between them exists (with a low enough dielectric constant to allow the flow of charge - such as a wire).

Electrons will move from here to there because there are "extra" electrons here, and there's some "missing" electrons there.

Electrons have a specific charge. If you have "extra" electrons at one location relative to "missing" electrons at another location, you will have a negative voltage here, and a positive voltage (relative to here) there. This is called a potential difference (or voltage difference).

Would a current be produced if the terminal had the same charge?

Yes. If the termals are connected by wires, charges will flow from one end to the other.


What is the role of the electric field in the wires of an AC circuit?

The electric field in the wires of an AC circuit helps to push and pull the electric charges back and forth, allowing the flow of alternating current.


Would a current be produced if both terminals had the same charge?

When electricity flows wires into our home?

Electricity does not flow wires into your home, wires direct the flow of current into your home.


Can electric charges flow through every material?

No, electric charges cannot flow through all materials. Materials that allow electric charges to flow easily are called conductors, while materials that do not allow charges to flow easily are called insulators. Conductors like metals allow charges to flow freely, while insulators like rubber inhibit the flow of charges.


The flow of electric charges is called?

The flow of electric charges is current.


What is a closed path along which charges can move?

A closed path along which charges can move is called an electric circuit. In an electric circuit, charges flow from a power source (such as a battery) through conductive materials such as wires, components, and devices, and then back to the source in a continuous loop.

What is an object that allows energy to flow through it?

A conductor is an object that allows energy (such as electricity) to flow through it easily due to the presence of free-moving charges, like electrons. Examples include copper wires and metal rods.
