Since electronics is concerned with the control of the motion of electrons, one must keep in mind that electrons, being negatively charged, are attracted to positive charges and repelled by other negative charges. Thus, electrons in a vacuum tend to space themselves apart from one another and form a cloud, subject to the influences of other charges that may be present. An electric current is created by the motion of electrons, whether in a vacuum, in a wire, or in any other electrically conducting medium. In each of these cases, electrons move as a result of their attraction to positive ...(100 of 8970 words)
