How does electricity flow? (Points : 1) from low potential to high potential from high potential to low potential from series circuit to parallel circuit from conductor to insulator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Electricity as in electric current?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk?? i just copy pasted what the question says

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's most likely they meant current and not electrons. Electric current flows from high potential to low potential.

Electrical conductance measures how easily electricity flows along a certain path through an electrical element. The SI derived unit of conductance is the siemens. Because it is the reciprocal of electrical resistance (measured in ohms), historically, this unit was referred to as the mho, . Oliver Heaviside coined the term conductivity in September 1885. Electrical conductance is related to but should not be confused with conduction, the mechanism by which charge flows, or with conductivity, a property of a material. Sounds to me from conductor to insulator.

i thought it was conductor to insulator but now im not so sure :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Electricity can flow from an insulator to a conductor as well, it depends how you place them on the circuit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If anything it passes through conductors and insulators, but does not come from them.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Positive charge flows from high to low electric potential. Negative charge, alas, flows from _low_ potential to high potential.
