Is everything else right?kuruman said:More correctly, this goes on until all conductors are at the same potential. If the spheres have unequal radii, they will have unequal amounts of charge.
Yes, except for the part that the charges are equal.erocored said:Is everything else right?
Thank you!kuruman said:Yes, except for the part that the charges are equal.
Electrons move in a conductor due to the presence of an electric field. When a conductor is connected to a voltage source, the electric field causes the electrons to move from the negative terminal of the source to the positive terminal, creating a flow of current.
Electrons are the charge carriers in a conductor. They are negatively charged particles that are free to move within the material. When a voltage is applied, the electrons move from atom to atom, creating a flow of electricity.
Electrons move at an average speed of about 1 millimeter per second in a conductor. This may seem slow, but due to the large number of electrons and the small distances involved, the overall current flow can be quite fast.
No, the speed of electrons in a conductor can vary depending on the material and the conditions. In general, electrons closer to the surface of the conductor tend to move faster than those deeper inside the material.
The movement of electrons in a conductor can be affected by factors such as the material of the conductor, the temperature, and the presence of impurities or defects in the material. Additionally, the strength and direction of the electric field and the amount of resistance in the circuit can also impact the movement of electrons.
