Question
in a conductor, electrons move easily. in an insulator, electrons are more tightly connected to individual atoms. suppose a piece of conducting wire is connected to one end of a power supply. (a) will the electrons in the wire respond to an electric field initially? How will they respond?(b) electric current is the flow of charge past a point per unit time. you know that eventually no current will flow in the wire. what is the final configuration of charges in the wire? why does no current flow? (this is called an open circut)
Explanation / Answer
Yes the electrons will experiencea force F=qE. and move accordingly Same its just transfer of energy configuration remains same. flowing out of e is compensated by flowing in
