Where is the flow of electricity in a circuit?

Answer 1

Please note that electrical current, which is the flow of electrons, is what flows, not "electricity", which is the entire body of phenomenon around current, voltage, impedance, power, etc.

Electric current is a flow of electrically charged atomic particles known as electrons. In metallic wires, the electric charge in a current is carried by electrons that orbit the nuclei of atoms. Each electron carries a small negative electric charge. When a stream of electrons moves from though the structure of a substance, the flow of the charge they carry is called electric current.

Each atoms has negative and positive electric charges which, like magnetic poles, attract each other. When there is a difference in the overall charge of atoms between the two ends of a wire, the negatively charged electrons will flow toward the positively charged end of the wire, creating electric current.

Electric currents can also be caused due to the flow of other types of charged particles such as charged atoms or ions. Ionic flow of electricity is quite common in liquid and gaseous substances. Electric shocks in humans and animals, lightning, or the flow of electricity inside a conventional battery are examples of ionic electricity.

Answer 2

if you have a double A (aa) battery, 2 little pieces of wire, a little light bulb for a little (aa) battery, and tape, try this!!! first tape one piece of wire on one side of the battery, and one wire to the other side taped. ok next take the wire and tape it on the bottom of the little light bulb and another on the side of the light bulb!!! there you go it all connects back to itself and makes one big circuit. Please e-mail me any way thank you for your time. Myinfojessie@Yahoo.com

Answer 3

ELECTRICITY flows in a circut by electric current this charge is often carried by

moving electrons in a wire and ions . ELECTRIC CURRENT is a flow of electric energy through an electric conductor.

Answer 4

In the most simple electric circuits, an electric current flows in that circuit in response to the applied voltage. Voltage is electromotive force, and it will cause current to flow in a circuit to which it is applied. In a simple circuit with a DC voltage applied, electrons leave the negative terminal of the source and flow through the circuit, then return to the positive terminal of the source. The resistance of the circuit (and the applied voltage) will determine the amount of current that flows. In complex circuits, the higher degree of complexity demands that more analysis would have to be done to explain the operation. And in a complimentary way, an AC circuit demands a higher level of analysis because of the fact that the applied voltage changes polarity.

Answer 5

It depends on the circuit. Some use Alternating Current and some use Direct Current. They are both different.

Answer 6

Current measured in amps.

Answer 7

in a battery

Answer 8

parallel
