Difference of potential (voltage) causes current to flow as long as there is a complete path (circuit) for it to flow along.
Voltage can be thought of as electrical pressure along the same lines as water pressure. If there is a competed path the electrical 'pressure'will push the electrons from the higher potention (pressure) to the lower potential (pressure).

How do you pass electricity through orange?
put a wire through it
The electricity that flows in wires is called?
The force that pushes electricity through a wire or anything else is called electromotive force. This is the same as potential difference and is measured in volts. A volt is the potential difference that causes a power dissipation of 1 watt when the current is 1 amp.
What causes a magnetic field to be produced around a wire?
Current flows through a wire and produces a magnetic field.
What is the wire coming out of the electric meter?
If you have a copper wire coming out it would be a"ground." This wire is there in case there is crossed wires inside the meter. It allows the electricity to seek the shortest route to the ground through the wire instead of through something dangerous or distructive.
How might adding a piece of gold wire to the circuit affect the flow of electricity through the circuit?
B.
What pushes electricity through a circuit?
the current
Howdoes Electricity flow through a wire?
Electricity flow through a wire as a result of the movement of electrons and hols.
Can a wire produce electricity by itself?
You coil a wire and pass it through a magnetic field you will produce electricity.
How do you make electricity out of a lemon?
electricity flows through the wire into the lemon
How does electricity travel to a TV?
the electricity goes through the wire which is connected to the T.V and then the T.V will start working, if the wire isn't connected to the T.V then the electricity could not pass through.
How do you pass electricity through orange?
put a wire through it
What particle is most important for electricity?
Electricity is the flow of electrons through a wire.
What is it called when electrons flow through a wire?
When electrons flow through a conductor such as a wire, it is called, "Electricity".
When electricity moves through a wire what is created?
Current
Did electricity flow through the wire when the circuit was opened?
Electricity does not flow in an open circut
Electricity running through a wire will induce field?
A magnetic field around the wire.
How would you explain voltage to secondary students?
Voltage is the pressure that pushes electricity through wires (or other conductors) in the same way that water pressure pushes water through pipes.
