Hi Phoebe, I'm Sasha and I'm also 12 years old and here's the answer your looking for

Answer:

Particles are, by their very nature, attracted to particles with an opposite charge, and they repel other similarly charged particles. This prevents electrons from ever coming in direct contact (in an atomic sense and literal sense). Their wave packets, on the other hand, can overlap, but never touch.

How long would it take 2.0x10^20 electrons to pass through a point in a conductor if the current was 10.0A?
inysia [295]

1 coulomb of electric charge is carried by  6.25 x 10^18 electrons

1 Ampere = 1 coulomb per second
10 A = 10 coulombs per second

(2.0 x 10^20 electrons) x (coul / 6.25 x 10^18 electrons) / (10 coul/sec) =

         (2.0 x 10^20) / (6.25 x 10^18 x 10)    sec  =  <em>3.2 seconds</em>

Explanation:

Energy is defined as the ability to do work and can be in various forms such as kinetic energy, potential energy, thermal, chemical, electrical energy etc.

Energy origination depends on the type of energy form in discussion. Thermal or heat energy can originate from a hot object such as the sun or an iron box, chemical energy originates from the interaction of atoms and molecules and electrical energy can be initiated by movements of electrons.

Energy is used to produce work. Different forms of energy can do different tasks such as;

Heat energy for heating water

Electrical energy for lighting purposes

Geothermal energy for producing heat and electricity

Nuclear energy for production of nuclear power

Chemical energy for facilitating chemical reactions
