It depends on many factors.!! Mainly it depends upon the type of the conductor. i.e., How many valance electron is there in the conductor. As many as valance electrons as much current flows through the conductor. Length of the material should be less as much as possible and the Area (i.e., Cross section) should be increased. So the conductivity will obviously increased. By sticking in to the basics Resistance of the material should be very low. For an Ideal superconductor the resistance is ZERO as we all know. So more current flows through the conductor.
To be precise, a current doesn't flow - a current "is". Although many people - including myself - often use the informal term "a current flows". The particles that make up the current do flow - or move. An electrical current involves the movement of some type of charged particles. Often, these are negative electrons, but there are other possibilities, as well, especially positive holes, and negative or positive ions.
A: Electrons are particles orbiting a nucleus and depending on the material it can have one to many electrons more means better conductor. As a force EMF is impressed on this material electrons are forced to leave orbit and go where ? to the next nucleus but now here there are too many for balance so one leaves and so on. So as electrons flow one way the lack of one goes the other way. basically that is how electrons flow causing electric current as you put it.
The term, 'overcurrent', describes either an 'overload current' or a 'short-circuit current'.An 'overload current' is a current that is higher than a circuit's 'rated current'. For example, if you have too many loads plugged into the same circuit, then the resulting current is an 'overload current'.A 'short-circuit current' is a large current resulting when a line ('hot') conductor accidentally makes contact with either a neutral conductor or an earth (ground) conductor.

As metals conduct electricity, the free electrons within the metal move in response to an electric field, creating a flow of electric current. This movement of electrons allows the metal to carry and transmit electricity through it.
The term conductor is generally applied to a substance or material that has a lot of free electrons in it. The name conductor is applied because the free electrons are already there. A material does not have free electrons because it is a conductor, but is a conductor because it has a lot of free electrons. That said, let's look at what's going on. These free electrons have energies that permit them to "wander" through the conductor; they're not "locked into" the structure of the material. And when a voltage (potential difference) is applied, current flows through the conductor because the free electrons are moving. They're made to move by the applied voltage. If we take the case of a wire in a circuit, the wire is a conductor. This wire, say a copper one, has many free electrons in it, and when we apply a voltage, electrons move. The voltage forces electrons into one end of the wire, and the free electrons "shift over" and electrons emerge from the other end of the wire. This movement of free electrons in response to an applied voltage through an conductor is the essence of current flow in that conductor.
In a conductor, the flow of current is due to the movement of electrons. One ampere (1 A) is equivalent to the passage of 6.242 x 10^18 electrons per second. Therefore, if the current is two amperes, the number of electrons passing through a section of the conductor per second would be 2 x 6.242 x 10^18 = 1.2484 x 10^19 electrons.
Yes, an electric current produces a magnetic field. When current flows through a conductor, it generates a circular magnetic field around the conductor according to the right-hand rule. This principle is the basis for electromagnets and many electrical devices.
The answer is electrons. I assume you mean positrons (anti-electrons) by positive electrons, and positrons and electrons go boom when they meet, so we don't see many positrons around.
A material is a good conductor if it allows electric current to flow through it easily due to the presence of free electrons. Metals like copper and silver are good conductors because they have many free electrons that can move easily. Insulators, on the other hand, are poor conductors because they do not have free electrons to carry current.
Iron is a conductor of electricity because it has many free electrons that can move easily through the material. When a voltage is applied, these free electrons flow, allowing the current to pass through the iron.
Materials with many free electrons are considered good conductors of electricity. These materials allow the flow of electrical current easily due to the presence of numerous free electrons that can move freely within the material. Examples include metals like copper and aluminum.
No, a glass of water is not a conductor of electricity. Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity because it does not contain many free ions or electrons to carry an electric current. However, the presence of impurities or additives in water can increase its conductivity.
No, a conductor does not have "positive electrons". Positive electrons are positrons, particles of anti-matter. A conductor, because if it's atomic structure, allows electrons to flow more freely from one atom to the other, thus creating electricity.
Electricity is the flow of electrons, which are negatively charged subatomic particles. When electrons move through a conductor, such as a wire, they create an electric current. This flow of electrons is what we commonly refer to as electricity.
