Best Answer

The free electrons at the negative pole get closer together, the free electrons left at the positive pole get further apart, more current starts to bleed through all the "insulators" of the voltage source.

Why the voltage used in the home is different from that used to transmit electricity over the national grid?

It takes voltage to "push" the electricity over distance. So it requires much greater voltage to move it over miles of power lines than it does from room to room.


What happens to the current when the voltage is greater than or equal to 6 V?

Illogical question captain!!

What are the atoms that make up electricity?

There are no atoms in electricity. Electricity consists of moving electrons, which are the negatively charged particles in atoms.


Can lightning or electricity strike without a conductor?

Yes ... sort of. Without a conductor the voltage must be high enough to jump the gap. With lightning this happens all the time (the voltage is massive), but seldom happens with commercial power supplies.


Why are the pylons on which electricity cables are hung very tall?

To ensure that the minimum height of their conductors maintain the legally-required clearance above ground. The greater the operating voltage, the greater this clearance must be.

Is voltage a flow of electricity?

no...current is a flow of electricity


What happens when a bypass capacitor is shorted?

The circuit becomes a pure resistance circuit where current and voltage are in phase with each others.
