How do electric currents flow in circuits?

In a circle

500

What is an electric current?

A flow of charged particles in the same direction.

500

When do we see the effects of kinetic energy?

We see the effect of kinetic energy when something moves from place to place.

500

What can collisions result in?

Collisions can result in an energy transformation into light, heat, sound, and chemical energy.

500

What causes a pattern (wave)?

Air particles vibrate and separate cause a sound wave

500

What happens when current is pushed through a resistor?

The electric energy is changed to light or heat.
