Back to our radio signal. The electrons in our wire are moving, but not in one direction. These electrons are moving back and forth. Actually, the wave displayed in the activity is a ...
Let's first take a look at the signal. The signal is an electic current, and every electric current is actually electrons moving in a wire. Wire is made of metal, usually copper. All of the atoms ...
the thickness of the wire decreases. An electric current flows when free electrons move in one direction through a conductor, such as a metal wire. The moving electrons can collide with the ions ...
