15. A cell has equal potential across its two terminals. Will current flow when the terminals are connected by a wire? Give reasons to support your answer.
Answers
Explanation:
This is the basis of current electricity. Negatively- charged electrons are removed from atoms, the atoms being left as positive ions. The potential difference between the two causes the electrons to be attracted back, producing a flow of electric charge: current electricity
Answer:
No. The current will not flow.
Explanation:
You will have no net flow of charge between two bodies if they have equal potential. If there is no potential difference between the two objects, then there is no electric field. If there is no electric field, there is nothing to force the charges to redistribute. Thus even if randomly a single electron leaps from one body to the next, over any meaningful time period, for every charge that goes from one body to the other, another charge will go the other way, causing there to be no net charge movement.
