In the simplest form, the answer is ........ charge and energy.
It is a common misconception that electrons are travelling around the circuit at a speed approaching that of light. Not true. While electron motion does occur due to alternating energy states in AC circuits, movement occurs in both directions. The net motion is therefore miniscule and may be ignored on a practical basis.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when a wire moves up or down repeatedly in a magnetic field?
When a wire moves up or down repeatedly in a magnetic field, an electric current is induced in the wire due to electromagnetic induction. This phenomenon is described by Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction. The induced current creates a magnetic field that opposes the original change in magnetic flux.
What happens when a wire moves up and down repeatedly?
When a wire moves up and down repeatedly, it generates an electromagnetic wave. This wave carries energy along the wire and through the surrounding space. The frequency at which the wire moves up and down will determine the frequency of the electromagnetic wave produced.
Does electricity move better through thick or thin wire?
Electricity moves better through thick wire. This is because thick wires have a lower resistance and allows more current to pass through it. Now that might be true but I did an experiment with a thick wire,thin wire,light bulb,and D batteries and the thin wire made the light bulb light up brighter. So, really its probably a thin wire.
If you have thick and thin wire which will make a generator light up more?
Thicker wire will make the generator light up more because it has lower resistance, allowing more current to flow through and power the generator. Thinner wire has higher resistance and will restrict the flow of current, resulting in less power reaching the generator.
How do you make a stinger to warm up water?
To make a stinger to warm up water, you can use a coil of metal wire that can be connected to a power source such as a battery. When the current flows through the wire, it generates heat due to its resistance, warming up the water that the wire is immersed in. Be cautious when handling the stinger to avoid electric shocks.

What effect does current have on a wire?
Insulation or a lawsuit. Just kidding (sort of). A magnetic field forms around the wire, because magnetic field are formed any time electric charge moves.

Why can ground wire be bare?
A ground wire can be bare because it is not a current carrying conductor. It is at the same potential as all the rest of the metallic conductive objects that make up the electrical system that the ground wire is grounding.
What happens to the electric current when the wire is made smaller?
If wire delivering a certain amount of current is made narrower, the resistance of the wire will increase. This will limit current, and the wire will warm up some. If the wire is made shorter, resistance will decrease. The electrical codes have well published limits on the amount of current different types of wire can carry.

What is moved up or down repeatedly through a coil of wire an alternating current is inducted in the wire?
A magnet or magnetic field is moved up or down repeatedly through a coil of wire, inducing an alternating current in the wire through electromagnetic induction.
What is the aluminum wire equivalent to?
In the electrical trade aluminum wire is equivalent to copper wire as it is also used to carry current. To carry the same current as copper wire aluminum wire is up sized to meet the same ampacity.
Why do you get electricity when a magnet touches a wire?
When a magnet moves near a wire, it creates a changing magnetic field. This changing magnetic field induces an electric current to flow in the wire through a process called electromagnetic induction, which is why electricity is generated when a magnet interacts with a wire.
In an electric current electricity flow how?
Electricity can flow in an electric circuit by a battery. The battery creates electrons, which flow through the wire, and then go into a light bulb. (That is how a light bulb in a circuit lights up.) A series circuit is a circuit with one wire that electrons can flow through. Also, there can be more than one light bulb connecting to the same wire. A parallel circuit is a circuit with light bulbs that have their own wire.ClarificationThe above answer, unfortunately, perpetuates the myth that current leaves a battery, and finds its way around a circuit. This is not the case at all. It is the load that 'draws' the current from the battery and it is the load that determines the size of that current.
