Electricity is the flow of electrons through a conductor, creating a current that can power various devices and systems.
Electricity flows when electrons are able to move freely through a conductive material, such as a wire. This movement is caused by a potential difference or voltage between two points, which creates a flow of electrons from the negative to the positive terminal.
Electrons are the primary carriers of electric current. They have a negative charge and are attracted to the positive terminal of a power source, creating a flow of electricity.
Electrons move in a circuit in a continuous loop, from the negative terminal of a power source through the circuit and back to the positive terminal. This movement is driven by the potential difference between the two terminals.
The flow of electrons in a circuit can be affected by the resistance of the material, the voltage of the power source, and the temperature of the conductive material. Changes in any of these factors can impact the overall flow of electricity in a circuit.
