Question

Electrons are charged particles. Moving charged particles are a current. There is a current of electrons flowing through a copper wire, as shown below. As the electrons flow through the wire, _______ is generated around the wire.

Answer 1

As the electrons flow through the wire, electric current is generated around the wire.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of flow of charged particles in a given time is termed as the flow of current. Mostly the charge carriers are termed as electrons in a conductor. So the flow of electrons or movement of charged particles in a given time is the generation of electric current in that current. As the ratio of charge to time at which the charge is moving from one point to another is termed as the current flow in that time.

`Current=(Charge)/(Time)`

Thus, in the present case of electrons flowing in that wire will lead to generating of electric current in the opposite direction around the wire.
