Meaning
An electron is a small particle found orbiting the centre of an atom.
About Electrons
- Electrons negatively charged.
- In conductors electrons can pass easily from one atom to the next.
- When electrons move it is called an electrical current.
To see how electrons are arranged around the nucleus of atoms or to see how electrons move around a circuit click on the pictures below to play a PHET simulation.
