How current electricity moves in a circuit?
You need a source of electrical potential difference, also known as voltage (which is the technical term for what for you call "electric pressure"). The easiest and most common voltage source is a household battery. Hook up the positive electrode of the battery using a conductor (eg. a copper wire) to one end of your circuit and the negative electrode to the other end, and voila, you'll have electric current flowing through your circuit.
Is a battery provides not a source of constant current or a source of constant voltage?
Batteries will provide a source of constant voltage. A battery also can be used to produce an electrical current immediately upon a necessary connection.
What is a group name for dry cell battery and generator?
Electric Source You hook both to an electric Load.
What is a current source?
A current source is a source that we can draw current from and can regulate to control the amount of current we draw. It is kind of a "mirror" of the voltage source. Here's how it might work. We usually are interested in keeping the current constant when we use a current source (though not always). To do this takes a varying voltage source to keep that current constant when using the source with a dynamic load (a load that is changing). There will have to be a way for the source to sense current flow and compare it to the setting put in. That way the source can maintain that constant current by adjusting to the correct voltage needed to maintain it. Many battery charging applications require this technology. We want "maximum" current so we can quickly charge the battery, but we cannot "overload" the battery, so we have to be careful not to do that. A constant current source is the answer. It will supply a steady "maximum" current, and the source will (as the battery charges and the "resistance to more charge" increases) increase in voltage to keep that amount of current flowing into the battery to charge it in the shortest time. A VERY GOOD EXPLANATION and I could add that a perfect current source would have 0 (zero) input/output impedance or you could say it's would be more like "a short that provides power".
What is a closed electric circuit?
An example of a closed electrical circuit would be a battery to a light bulb, the only source of power being the battery and no other input from an outside source. Like video cameras in a store they would be considered a closed circuit surveillance system so long as the signals stay inside the store and don't leave to a remote location.
What are three household items that use battery as a source of electric current?
A cordless toothbrush, a battery operated electric clock and an electric flash light could be in this group of house hold items.
A temporary source of electric current?
A battery.
What particles create the electric current in a fruit battery?
An electric current is movement of electrons, no matter the source or cause.
When two or more electric cells are connected together as a source of current?
parallel

Is a battery a temporary source of electric current?
Yes. A generator is another temporary source, but it can usually be used more than once, so a battery would be the best choice.
How do you identify dc source is connected instead of battery?
"dc" is direct current which is what batteries use, whereas "ac" is alternating current, which is what your household receptacle uses.
What is the source of the electric circuit?
Battery
What are a primary source and a secondary source?
Answer if this question concerns literature, not electricity.Primary Source: This is your main source, a source that was recorded when the event happened. Secondary Source: A source based on other sources e.g. a book about the event or a biography written by person A about person B.(An autobiography is an example of a primary source because someone wrote it about his or her own life. )Answer if this question concerns electricity, not literature.Primary Source: A non-rechargeable chemical battery which can produce a useful output current when a load is applied to it. It does not store electric charge and it cannot be re-charged when its supply of electric current has been used up. Secondary Source: A rechargeable chemical battery which can produce a useful output current when a load is applied to it. It stores electric charge and can be re-charged when its supply of electric current has been used up.
What is the power source of the electric circuits?
Battery
What is the source of electric energy for camera?
There is a battery
What is a electrical curcuit?
An electric circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. Its so simple, though my friend from extraminds help me with proper answer.
