• In this case the balance is preserved and the central wire remains neutral, as no return current flows through it to the source of energy. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• The water which flows on the earth is constantly changing its form; the heat of the sun causes it to evaporate, or to become vapor, and to mingle with the atmosphere. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Whenever Mr. Snagsby and his conductors are stationary, the crowd flows round, and from its squalid depths obsequious advice heaves up to Mr. Bucket. Charles Dickens. Bleak House.
• With Edison's telephone there is used a closed circuit on which a battery current constantly flows, and in that circuit is a pair of electrodes, one or both of which is carbon. Frank Lewis Dyer. Edison, His Life and Inventions.
• A wire through which current flows is surrounded by a field of magnetic force. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• The liquid ammonia flows through the regulating valve _V_ into the coil _E_, in which the pressure is kept low by the pump _C_. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Estimating the quantity of water which flows through the trough each second. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• I do not ask whence flows the feeling which you pour into these songs, for I know it flows out of your heart, Miss Keeldar. Charlotte Bronte. Shirley.
• Its moving principle flows more silently than a summer’s zephyr, and yet it rises at times to an angry and deadly crash in the lightning stroke. Edward W. Byrn. The Progress of Invention in the Nineteenth Century.
• In convection, air and water circulate freely, carrying heat with them; in conduction, heat flows from a warm region toward a cold region, but there is no apparent motion of any kind. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• For words, theories, symbols, slogans, abstractions of all kinds are nothing but the porous vessels into which life flows, is contained for a time, and then passes through. Walter Lippmann. A Preface to Politics.
• The water power of a stream depends upon the quantity of water and the force with which it flows. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• When the current which enters at _B_ flows through the wire, the coil rotates, tending to set itself so that its north face is opposite the south face of the magnet. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• The fine wires are strongly heated by the current which flows through them. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• Between and among all which masses flows without limit Saint-Antoine and the Menadic cohort. H. G. Wells. The Outline of History_Being a Plain History of Life and Mankind.
• The current flows to the coil through the thin metal strips called brushes, which rest lightly upon the disks. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• When they have got this quantity, the dam is full, and the whole stream which flows in afterwards must run over. Adam Smith. An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.
• For art can open up the springs from which conduct flows. Walter Lippmann. A Preface to Politics.
• But when the copper strip is replaced by a zinc strip so that the cell consists of two similar plates, no current flows between them. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• This flows too easily, and even using the greatest care I can hardly keep from blotting it. Rupert S. Holland. Historic Inventions.
• The quantity of water which flows through the trough each second depends upon the dimensions of the trough and the velocity of the water. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• When heat flows in this way from a warm part of a body to a colder part, the process is called _conduction_. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• As long as the coil rotates between the poles of the magnet, current flows. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.

• A thick cluster of filings will adhere to the wire (Fig. 210), and will continue to cling to it so long as the current flows. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
• For three hours we strolled about together, watching the ever-changing kaleidoscope of life as it ebbs and flows through Fleet Street and the Strand. Arthur Conan Doyle. The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes.
• If a metal is inserted in the gap, the current again flows. Bertha M. Clark. General Science.
