The "impedance" of a circuit slows down the movement of electrons. This can be resistive, reactive or a combination of both.

How do electrons behave in a circuit?
answ2. There should be a complete circuit for electrons to travel round it. Otherwise you'd build up charge in the one spot.If the circuit contains resistors, then these will slow the electrons down; just temporarily whilst they bounce round in the resistor, for in there are less paths for free electrons.The energy of an electron is measured in volts, and some of the energy is absorbed in the resistor and will show up as a voltage lost in the passage through the resistor.A side consequence of electrons moving in a circuit is that a small magnetic field will be generated, but in normal electronic circuits, this is so minute as to be ignored.
What type of friction slows down movement?
all friction slows down movement
How is vertical movement achieved?
Movement up and down
What slows the movement of electrons?
Insulators
What happens to a circuit if the resistances is increased?
The voltage drop across each resistance will go up, and the current through the circuit will go down.
Special load in a circuit that slows down the flow of electrons?
Loads do not 'slow down' electron flow. They effect the magnitude of a current, not its speed!
How fast an electric current flow in a circuit?
the ability if a substance to slow down electric current
The movement of electrons down a concentration gradient via electron transport membrane is used to generate what?
ATP.
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.

What does grounding mean in science?
Same as earthing. Connecting an electric circuit to the ground allows electrons to flow down to earth, and spread out. It therefore acts like an absolute 0V level in the circuit. There are various reasons why one might want to do this.
What slows the flow of electrons?
Resistance slows the flow of electrons in a conductor.When you say that a substance has resistance, it actually means that the substance slows down the flow of electrons, thereby reducing the current. So, higher the resistivity of a substance, lesser the velocity of the electrons in the circuit assuming all the other values constant.
What is a dumbed down definition of combination circuit?

What do you notice about the valance electrons as you move down a group?
stays the same Well... that's not really true... the number of them stays the same, but several things happen to them. First off they are further from the nucleus. And they are further shielded by additional electrons between the valence and nucleus. This causes a looser association and tends to make the atom more volatile.
Which of kinetic heat sound light chemical or potential energy can be stored?
Basically potential energy - and chemical energy, which is a type of potential energy. Movement (kinetic) energy can be stored in the short term, but the problem is that movement tends to slow down due to friction.
What is a movement of a piston up or down?
A stroke is the movement of a piston up or down.
What is downstream in electrical?
The terminology down stream refers to an electrical circuit and where devices are connected into the circuit. In reference to the breaker that feeds the circuit everything is down stream from it. If a GFCI receptacle is added into the circuit as the first device, the GFCI can be wired to allow all of the regular receptacles to be protected down stream from that GFCI. Every device added to the circuit will be down stream from the one that is ahead of it. The only device that will not have something down stream from it will be the last device in the circuit.
