Question

why charges do not flow in a copper by themselve?

Answer 1

Hey user
--------------

There are following reasons behind it :-

• The flow of charges is taken place when there is difference in potential which is also known as potential difference and often denoted by the ( V )


• As we know that all charges have potential to pass from one ends to other this is conducted by the conductor for instance , - copper

• Copper itself can't flow the charges as it doesn't have property to do so

• The flow of charges through the cross section of wire in per unit time is called electricity


Now let us understand A new concepts

→ Electric Potential :-
-----------------------------

It is defined as the amount of work done when a unit positive charges is moved from infinity to point in an electric field


→ Electric Potential difference [ ∆V ]
-------------------------------------------------

As here I wrote ∆ [ Delta ] V that means the there changes or flow of charges is taking place through a cross section of wire as the work done per unit charges in a moving positive charge from one end to other
