∙ 13y agoIt is called current electricity. Whenever you apply a battery to a wire or conductor, the battery pushes the electrons through the conductor causing the electron to flow through the wire. This constitutes the current.

What is needed for heat to flow through a conductor?
You from concord lol, oh and its free moving electrons...
Why do electrons flow through a wire?
An electrical current is simply the flow of free electrons in and on the conductors. So they are a bit like water molecules in a garden hose. And like those water molecules the flow of free electrons can be physically impeded by whatever is in or on the electrical conductor. When a material is a good conductor, the atoms and molecules of that good conductor do not get in the way of the free electrons. They do not resist the flow of those electrons very much. So even with just a low voltage to push the electrons along, the flow, the current of the electrons is high. But when a material is a bod conductor, the atoms and molecules of that bad conductor do physically get in the way of those free electrons so that they cannot flow freely through the conductor. The resistance is high in a poor conductor. So it takes a relatively higher voltage to push electrons along in a bad conductor...if indeed they can be pushed at all. Some materials are so bad at conducting it's almost impossible to move those electrons along.
Electricity is the flow of which subatomic particles?
Electricity is the flow of electrons across a conductor. A conductor can be many things, copper is one of the most efficient. Voltage is what moves the electrons. It works like the pressure that pushes water through a hose.
Can flow of an electrons interrupt in a conductor?
yes
What is it called when electrons flow through a wire?
When electrons flow through a conductor such as a wire, it is called, "Electricity".
The flow of electrons along a conductor measured in?
Amperes
Is electricity variable or fixed?

The flow of electrons along a conductor is measured in metric units called?
amperes

What are electrons moving in a current is called?
The speed at which electrons flow along the wire is called the current. The measurement for current is amps.
What happens to the electrons in a conductor when there is a potential difference between the conductor's ends?
The free electrons in a conductor will, when a difference of potential (voltage) is applied at its ends, participate in electron current flow (or just current, if you prefer). The voltage applied to the conductor will drive current through the conductor, and the free electrons will support current flow. These electrons will actually move through the conductor. As electrons are driven into one end of the conductor, the free electrons "shift over" and electrons stream out the other end of the conductor. This is the essence of current flow in conductors.
What is the name for a positively charged conductor through which electrons flow into a device?
Anode The name for a positive charge conductor through which electrons flow into a device is called the life conductor.
What happens to metals as they conduct electricity?
The electrons in a conductor will support the movement of electric current. A conductor is defined as a material with a number of electrons in its makeup that are actually in what is called the conduction band. The conduction band is an energy level where electrons must be to permit conduction in a material. If the minimum energy in the conduction band in a material is such that a lot of electrons in that material are already at or above that level, then these electrons will be available to support current flow. Remember that electron current flow is moving electrons, and it is not about sending an electron into a conductor, like a wire, at one end and getting that same electron out at the other. It is about sending a bunch of them in at one end, and all the electrons already in the conductor move over and a bunch come out the other end. The electrons already in the conduction band within the conductor support current flow in this way.
