What happens to a bulb when you move it to the battery on a circuit?

It doesn't matter where the bulb is in respect to the battery, as long as the circuit is complete, the bulb will light up.


What will happen to a bulb when you move it closer to the battery on a circuit?

Nothing special should happen. What matters for the bulb is the voltage difference between its ends.

Does a battery supply the electrons in an electric circuit?

No, is it incorrect to say that a battery produces the charges that circulate in a circuit. Some might suggest that a battery is a current source, but the battery should most properly be considered a voltage source. It generates the electromotive force (emf or voltage) that causes charges to move. (It does this through electrochemical reactions.) The charges that circulate in a circuit (which might be termed the current flow) are already in the conductor and components. All the battery does is produce the voltage (the force) to move charges. Let's look at current flow and see why things might be best looked at in the manner we've stated.Note that the way a battery moves charges is to "inject" an electron into the circuit where it is tied to the negative terminal of that battery. The electron causes one electron in the circuit at the terminal to "move over" and that will cause another electron to "move over" and so on. This will continue until the "last electron" in the circuit at the positive terminal of the battery leaves the circuit and "goes into" the battery. Current flow in the circuit is like musical chairs with electrons everywhere in the circuit "moving over a space" to cause the current flow.Having gone through all that, it should be easier to see why a battery probably should not be considered the producer of charges that circulate in a circuit. Rather, the battery is the source of the voltage that drives the charges (the current) in the circuit.
