This is most easily answered in a diagram but I will give it my best shot.

The simplest electrical circuit consists of a battery, 2 conductors (wires), and a light. Electrons flow from the battery through the light and back to the battery.

At this level of simplicity it is helpful to think of a bucket, 2 hoses, and a pump. To work like an electrical circuit, both hoses have to be full of water to begin with. When the pump is activated the water flows from the bucket, through the pump, and back to the bucket. Anything that interferes with the flow of water shuts off the water flow, called current in electrical circuits.

A simple circuit is a battery and a resistor. When they are connected, in the resistor current flows down a potential gradient, which produces heat.

What does a simple circuit consists of?

A simple circuit consists of a power source (such as a battery), a load (such as a light bulb), and wires connecting them in a complete loop. When the circuit is closed, the power source provides electricity to the load, causing it to operate.


How does a battery work in a circuit to provide electrical power?

A battery works in a circuit by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. When connected in a circuit, the battery's chemical reactions create a flow of electrons, which generates a voltage difference. This voltage difference drives the flow of electrons through the circuit, providing electrical power to the connected devices.
