Tectonic plates and convection cells move tectonic plates
You'll hear that force called different things in different places. It
may be called "electromotive force", "EMF", "potential difference",
or "voltage".
It's just a matter of somehow causing the two ends of the wire
to have different electrical potential. When that happens, the
free electrons in the copper suddenly have a burning desire to
travel ... away from the end that's more negative, toward the end
that's more positive, and THAT's an "electric current".
Answer:
A variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another.
Explanation:
Answer:
It is said that the negative charge moves because the electrons in the atoms of any object are taken or given to the atoms of another object.
Explanation:
The atom is made up of protons, electrons and neutrons. The number of protons is exactly the same to the number of electrons for a certain element. For example, hydrogen: it has a proton, and therefore, an electron.
The electron has a negative charge. The proton has a positive charge. And the neutron has no charge, so it is neutral. While the atom has the same number of protons and electrons, it will not be electrically charged.
An example of how a charge exchange occurs between two objects is through the case of rubbing. This makes the atoms of the two objects close enough that there is an electron transfer, causing any of the objects to gain or lose electrons as a consequence of each other interaction. In the case of transferring electrons, the atom will have a greater number of protons, so it will be positively charged. When the atom receive electrons, it will have a greater number of electrons, so it will be negatively charged.
Therefore, since it is the electrons that move from one atom to another, then it is the negative charge that moves (<em>characterized by the electrons</em>) and not the positive charge (<em>characterized by the protons</em>).
This behavior is called reflection.
Reflection is a change of in direction of the wave when it reaches another medium. Imagine a wave colliding with a glass in a tank of water.
During reflection, some of the initial energy of the wave is lost.
Waves always reflect with at same angle at which it approached the obstacle.
