Why? And how? Electrons has to move from one energy level to another?
And usually some time after getiing all excited with the new photon, they get tired, get rid of it and back on the couch.rootone said:Electrons get excited when photons turn up, otherwise like madphdstudent said, they prefer to slouch on the couch.
Until a really serious rent collector photon comes along and kicks them out entirely.wabbit said:And usually some time after getiing all excited with the new photon, they get tired, get rid of it and back on the couch.
They only do that in their moments of weakness.rootone said:Until a really serious rent collector photon comes along and kicks them out entirely.
But in most of those cases they make a neutrino issue out of it, and they get accepted into a more hospitable community.
True, In the end it comes down to whether the nucleus is that bothered about it.,wabbit said:They only do that in their moments of weakness.
Thank you, but actually, I'm not a mentor ... more like the local wise-asslonely_nucleus said:when electrons are exiced they absorb energy so they jump to a higher orbit(shell), when they go into lower shells they release energy in the form of electromagnetic waves.
When a mentor like @phinds answers a question I recommend liking his reply to show your appreciation.
ahaha that made me laugh friend.phinds said:Thank you, but actually, I'm not a mentor ... more like the local wise-ass
Electrons have to move because they carry an electrical charge, and movement of charged particles is what creates an electric current. In order for electricity to flow and power devices, electrons must continuously move from one atom to another.
Electrons can be induced to move through various means, such as an electric field, a magnetic field, or thermal energy. In a circuit, the movement of electrons is typically initiated by a power source, such as a battery, that creates an electric field which pushes the electrons.
If electrons do not move, then there will be no electric current and devices will not receive power. This is why it is important for electrons to continuously move in order for electricity to function properly.
Electrons can move in any direction, but they are most commonly observed to move from a higher electrical potential to a lower one. This is because electrons are negatively charged and are attracted to the positive charge of the opposite electrical potential.
The speed of electrons can vary depending on the material they are moving through and the amount of resistance in the circuit. In a typical household circuit, electrons can move at a speed of about 1 millimeter per second, which is very slow compared to the speed of light.
