What else can I help you with?
Do all circuits contain electricity?
No, not all circuits contain electricity. A circuit is simply a closed loop through which electricity can flow. Electricity will only flow through a circuit if there is a power source, such as a battery or wall outlet, providing the electrical energy.
What is an object that does not allow electricity to flow through?
An object that does not allow electricity to flow through easily is an insulator. It is so hard that it often won't go through at all. Sometimes you find an exception, like lightening. There is nothing that electricity cannot flow through altogether.
What lets some electricity through it but not all of it?
A conductor, such as metal, allows electricity to flow through it because it has free-moving electrons. An insulator, on the other hand, does not allow electricity to flow through it because it restricts the movement of electrons. Semiconductors, like silicon, have properties in between conductors and insulators and can selectively allow electricity to pass through them under certain conditions.
How does hydro electricity flow?
Hydro electricity is electricity generated by moving water, usually from dams nowadays. Electrical power is all the same. It flows through wires.
What order does electricity flow through the parts of a motor?
No order. It flows in all of the parts at the same time.
Will a nail allow electricity to flow through?
Sure; nails are usually made from some metal, and all metals are conductors.
Is a pencil an insulator or conductor of electricity?
Note: "electricity" is not conducted, only electrical current (the flow of electrons) is. Electricity is the field that covers all things electrical. The wood in a pencil is an insulator. If it is wet, it is a poorer insulator, but only a poor conductor. The carbon (lead) in the pencil is a poor conductor. The metal holding the eraser is a good conductor. The rubber eraser is a poor conductor. You really have to address the conductivity of specific substances, not items that are build from a variety of substances.
How iron is heated due to electricity?
Iron (like all material) has resistance to current flow. When electrons do flow through iron you get the standard I squared R losses ... all of which is heat.
Will electric currents flow through a pencil?
Electric currents will not flow through a pencil because the graphite in a pencil is not a good conductor of electricity. Graphite is considered a semiconductor, so it does not allow electricity to flow as easily as a metal conductor.
What are the classification of materials according to electrical conductivity?
Most substances fall into two categories - conductors and insulators. Conductors are those which electricity can pass through relatively easily. Metals are the usual example, but other substances such as graphite and polar liquids such as water are also good conductors. Insulators are poor conductors: those that electricity cannot pass through easily. Most plastics are insulators. Some substances fall in between: these are semiconductors, which allow electricity through in some instances, but not in others. This property makes them very useful in electronics. Some substances can be such good conductors that, under some circumstances, they can allow electricity to pass through them with no resistance at all. These are called superconductors.
What is one definition for the word electricity?
Electricity is the flow of electrons and protons traveling through a small area I think... All the other ones are really hard so here...=)
At very cold temperatures what loses all resistance to the flow of electricity?
At very cold temperatures, certain materials like superconductors can lose all electrical resistance, allowing electricity to flow through them without any loss of energy. This phenomenon is known as superconductivity.
