Question

What is depicted as the yellow arrows in the following image? (Using a scientific vocabulary word we learned in class and provide its definition) Which makes a bigger current- faster moving electrons or slower moving electrons?

Answer 1

Answer:

Electric Current

Explanation:

The yellow arrows in the following image depict electric current. Electric current is defined as the continuous flow of electrons in an electric circuit.  Electrons present in the conducting material which move from one to another atom randomly from the negative terminal through the connecting wires and back to the positive terminal.

Faster moving electrons make a bigger current because faster moving electrons collide more with each other that generates more heat which results into a higher current.

Hence, The yellow arrows in the following image depict electric current and Faster moving electrons make a bigger current.
