What can cause the flow of electricity to slow down?

Answer 1

No, electricity will not slow down with increased resistance. The number of electrons moving through a conductor will decrease with increased resistance. Also there will be a drop in the voltage (electrical pressure) with increased resistance. Look up Ohms Law for formulas relating to voltage, resistance, and amplitude. E=I*R. E=voltage (pressure), I=the current (flow of electrons) R=the amount of resistance or the strength of the opposing flow of electrons. The speed of an electron through a conduvtor will always remain the same.

Answer 2

When there is a fracture or breakage in a wire. Also natural causes can slow electricity down, example: snow, water, hurricanes, earthquakes, landslides, and etc.
