To understand the nature of electric current and the conditions under which it exists. Electric current is defined as the motion of electric charge through a conductor. Conductors are materials that contain movable charged particles. In metals, the most commonly used conductors, such charged particles are electrons. The more electrons that pass through a cross section of a conductor per second, the greater the current. The conventional definition of current is

2.22/3.33 points | previous answers tamucolphysmechl1 4.pre.002. ask your teacher my notes question part points submissions used on a frictionless air track, a blue glider with mass 0.200 kg is moving to the right with a speed of 8.00 m/s. it strikes a red glider that has mass 0.600 kg and that is initially at rest. after the collision, the blue glider is moving to the left with a speed of 2.40 m/s. (a) what are the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the red glider after the collision? magnitude 3.33 m/s correct: your answer is correct. direction correct: your answer is correct. (b) is this collision elastic?

Arotating space station is said to create “artificial gravity”—a loosely-defined term used for an acceleration that would be crudely similar to gravity. the outer wall of the rotating space station would become a floor for the astronauts, and centripetal acceleration supplied by the floor would allow astronauts to exercise and maintain muscle and bone strength more naturally than in non-rotating space environments. if the space station is 200 m in diameter, what angular velocity would produce an “artificial gravity” of 9.80 m/s^{2} 2 at the rim?

Point charges q1 = 51 µc and q2 = −27 µc are placed 1.0 m apart, with q2 on the right. what is the force (in n) on a third charge q3 = 19 µc placed midway between q1 and q2? (assume the positive direction is to the right. indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
