Which particles carry an electric current around a circuit?
The particles that carry charge around a circuit are electrons. In some semiconductors, missing electrons in a crystalline structure (of silicon or germanium), caused by adding special impurities, form spaces called "holes" where there is a missing electron. These "holes" can also travel but, in the end, it is electrons that move in the opposite direction to fill those holes that carry the current.
When electrons flow between two objects a what is produced?
When electrons flow between two objects, a flow of electric current is produced. This movement of charges generates a magnetic field around the flow of current.
Why are metals good conductors of electric current?
Metals are good conductors of electric current because they have loosely held electrons in their outer shells, which are free to move and carry charge. This electron mobility allows for the easy flow of electric current through the metal. Additionally, the lattice structure of metals provides a pathway for the movement of electrons.
What happens to a wire when and electric current passes through it?
When an electric current passes through a wire, the wire heats up due to the resistance in the material. The current causes electrons to flow through the wire, creating a magnetic field around it. This effect is used in electromagnets and electric motors.
Which is true electric current running along a wire can be used to produce magnetic force or moving electrons through a magnetic field can produce an electric current?
They're both true, but I'm not comfortable with the way they're stated. I would have said: -- Electric current through a wire produces magnetic force. -- Moving electrons constitute an electric current, whether or not they're moing througha magnetic field.
Explain free electron concept and electric current?
the flow of electrons in semi conductor is called electric current. the electrons revolved around the nucleas is called free electrons

What happens during an electric current?
conclusion of electric current
What does carry electrical currents?
An electric current carries electrons from an area of high potential to another area of low potential. Potential difference is the condition that must exist for a current to move electrons around.

The electric current in a medical conductor is carried by positive electrons or electrons?
The answer is electrons. I assume you mean positrons (anti-electrons) by positive electrons, and positrons and electrons go boom when they meet, so we don't see many positrons around.

When an electric current passes through a wire, the wire heats up due to the resistance in the material. The current causes electrons to flow through the wire, creating a magnetic field around it. This effect is used in electromagnets and electric motors.
What is the name for the flow of electrons in an electric circuit?
A flow of electrons in an electrical circuit is called a current, which is the name given to the amount of electrical charge flowing in a certain period of time.Any total quantity of electrical charge is measured in coulombs.Any flow of electrical current is measured in amps.1 amp is equal to a flow of 1 coulomb of electrical charge in one second of time.
Created around a conductor when electrons flow through that conductor?
Then an 'electrical current' is said to be present in the conductor.
What produced when electrons flows smoothly in matter?
When electrons flow smoothly in matter, they create an electric current. This flow of electrons generates a magnetic field around the conductor. The movement of electrons also produces heat due to resistance in the material.
Why metals conduct electricity?
Metals undergo a metallic bonding, meaning when two metals shares their valence electron they undergo metallic bonding. Within the metallic bond, there are enormous amount of free electrons or what we call " SEA OF ELECTRONS, MOBILISE NOT STATIONARY"constantly moving within the lattice. As we know electrons can carry electric and thermal energy through vibrations and pass the energy from each other throughout the lattice or structure. if u put a piece of metal under the sun light, eventually it will get hot and that's because electrons absorb the thermal energy from sun light and gets excited, the same way " when a guy see a hot girls" and starts vibrating.
