I am looking at the current flow diagrams, and can't figure them out. Can anyone give me some insight on how they go?
I started up the car and my brake warning light is now on and so is my turn signal light ( very dimly lit). I figure I must have a short somewhere. |

Just to add to the confusion, electron current is the net directional movement of electrons. If you put an electron into one end of a conductor (wire) it will take a really really long time for it to come out the other end... But since conductors have lots of free electrons, the instant you push one in, one will pop out on the other end, at nearly the speed of light. Since insulators have few free electrons, it takes a lot of potential (voltage) to push that electron through that large empty space.
Holes may not have mass, but then light has no mass, yet it has momentum...... very strange stuff. -Tony |
