The individual electrons move slowly; the current moves quickly. Compare this to a water wave: the wave advances, but the individual water particles go back to their place. You should actually observe a water wave to confirm this. Check objects floating on the water. The wave is NOT a current of water.
You can also compare this to the following neat experiment with marbles: Put three (or more) marbles in a row, touching each other. Have one more marble bump into the row. The marble at the other end goes off - the other marbles stay in their place! The energy has been transferred from one marble to the next, but each of them (except the last one) stays in its place!
What else can I help you with?
What can refer to the tHickness of a fluid and how fast it flow?
The viscosity of a fluid is a measure of its thickness or resistance to flow. It determines how fast a fluid can flow, with higher viscosity fluids flowing more slowly than lower viscosity fluids.
What is the relationship between the speed of electrons in a wire and the flow of electric current?
The speed of electrons in a wire is typically very slow, but the flow of electric current is fast. This is because when a voltage is applied to a wire, it creates an electric field that pushes electrons along the wire, causing the flow of electric current.
What type of energy results in a flow of electrons?
Electrical energy results in a flow of electrons. This flow of electrons is what powers electronic devices and electrical systems.
How do electrons travel in a torch?
In a torch, electrons flow from the negative terminal of the battery to the positive terminal through a circuit. The flow of electrons through a conductor (such as a wire in the flashlight circuit) creates an electrical current, which powers the lightbulb to produce light.
Is the flow of electrons currently in the circuit?
Yes, the flow of electrons is currently present in the circuit.
Does thick syrup flow fast or slow?
Thick syrup flows slowly due to its high viscosity. The higher the viscosity, the slower the flow.

How fast an electric current flow in a circuit?
the ability if a substance to slow down electric current
In a circuit electric current is flow of?
It is a flow of electrons.

Where do electrons originate that flow down?
There are electrons in every atom, and every part of an electric circuit is made up of atoms (or charged atoms, which are known as ions). The electrons actually move very slowly around the circuit, going from atom to atom. However, the effect which causes them to do this travels very fast (at the speed of light) around the circuit. This effect is caused by the source of what is known as electromotive force - the battery, or power supply.
Air has been removed and electrons flow?
air has been removed and electrons flow
Is the flow of electrons currently in the circuit?
Yes, the flow of electrons is currently present in the circuit.
What gives electrons there electricity?
Electrons don't have electricity they only posses energy, Electricity is defined as the flow of electrons! In conductors the flow of valence electrons are called Electricity! therefore inducing a current in it! generally the direction of flow the current is the opposite of the direction of flow of electrons(D.C)!
Can electrons flow in conductors?
Yes, electrons can flow through conductors. Conductors are materials that allow the free flow of electric charge, such as electrons, due to their loosely bound electrons. This movement of electrons is what allows the flow of electric current in a conductor.
