It's not really a pressure, per se, but you're probably looking for voltage or electric potential difference (they're the same thing).

What is a device that move electrons along a path often a battery?

A device that moves electrons along a path is called a circuit. In a circuit, electrons flow from the negative terminal of a battery, through the components in the circuit, and back to the positive terminal of the battery, creating electrical energy.


Do protons travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light?

No, protons do not travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light. In a circuit, electrons are the charge carriers that move through the wires at speeds much slower than the speed of light. Protons typically remain within the nucleus of an atom and do not move freely in a circuit.


Which part of the atom moves around the circuit carrying energy?

The part of the atom that moves around the circuit carrying energy is the electron. Electrons are negatively charged particles that can flow through conductive materials, such as metals, when a voltage is applied. Their movement creates an electric current, which is the flow of electrical energy through the circuit.


What is it that travels through an electric circuit at nearly the speed of light?

the wave front of electric current. the electrons themselves move much slower but they keep pushing electrons ahead of them on resulting in a wavefront that moves at almost the speed of light.


Does wind occur as air moves from a place of low air pressure to a place of high air pressure?

Yes, wind occurs as air moves from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. Air naturally moves from high pressure to low pressure in an attempt to equalize the pressure imbalances.

What force keep current flowing?

Voltage is the pressure that moves the electrons (current) through a circuit.


What creates an electric force field that moves electrons through a circuit?

An electric potential difference, also known as voltage, creates an electric force field that moves electrons through a circuit. Electrons flow from areas of high potential (voltage) to areas of low potential, creating an electric current in the circuit.


What Energy that moves through an electric circuit is carried by moving'?

Electricity is the energy that moves through an electric circuit and is carried by the movement of electrons along the wire.


Energy that moves through an electric circuit is carried by moving?

The answer is Charges


Explain how you know that it is an electric field not electrons that moves rapidly through a circuit?

Electrons in an active circuit either drift slowly, or just jiggle back and forth in one place.

Describe how a battery causes electrons to move in a circuit?

The electrons don't actually move the electricity; the charge moves. The electrons slowly drift in the opposite direction from the charge.


What particle moves when electricity flows through a circuit?

Electrons are the particles that move when electricity flows through a circuit. They carry a negative charge and flow from the negative terminal of the power source to the positive terminal.


Do electrons travel in the same direction in a circuit?

In a circuit, electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of the voltage source (such as a battery). This flow of electrons is opposite to the conventional current direction, which is from positive to negative. So, while electrons themselves move in one direction, the conventional current moves in the opposite direction.


Do protons travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light?

No, protons do not travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light. In a circuit, electrons are the charge carriers that move through the wires at speeds much slower than the speed of light. Protons typically remain within the nucleus of an atom and do not move freely in a circuit.


Where do electric current move?

Electric current moves through wires or conductive materials in a closed loop circuit, from the positive terminal of the power source to the negative terminal. Electrons carry the negative charge and flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.


Which part of the atom moves around the circuit carrying energy?

The part of the atom that moves around the circuit carrying energy is the electron. Electrons are negatively charged particles that can flow through conductive materials, such as metals, when a voltage is applied. Their movement creates an electric current, which is the flow of electrical energy through the circuit.
