Best Answer

The battery provides the voltage, the voltage produces a current, according to Ohm's Law: V=IR, or I=V/R. "I" refers to the current.

In terms of the individual electrons, the battery will attract electrons at one end, and repel them at the other end.

How does electricity flow from a battery through a circuit?

Not as you might think. Electricity flows FROM the negative pole, through the circuit, and then electrons flow into the positive pole.


Why is electricity sometimes described as a flow of electrons?

Flowing electrons makes electricity (they flow from negative to positive. ). You need a circuit or a path for the electrons to move through, a power source like a battery or a generator, and something to use the electricity, like a light bulb...

The flow of the electricity is being pushed through the circuit because of the electrons.


Can you put electricity in a jar?

No, electricity cannot be put in a jar. Electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, and it requires a complete circuit to flow. You can store electrical energy in a battery or capacitor, but you cannot store the flow of electricity itself in a jar.

What is the point of a battery?

If you did not have a battery, the circuit would not have any electricity to make a change on something. Basically, a battery is a power source. It creates a difference in charge (positive and negative ends) that causes a flow or electrons through the wire which is electricity!
