Why do you have to connect one wire to each end of the battery for the circuit to work?

The battery pushes electrons out one side, and attracts them back to the other side. Without a closed circuit, the electrons can flow for a brief time, but they would quickly accumulate on some connected object. Since electrons repel one another, they will quickly come to the point where no further electrons can get into an object.

What are all the parts on a circuit board?
to assemble a circuit you just need to connect one end of a wire to the battery and the other to the light bulb ( could be another electrical device) now take an other wire and connect on end of it to the other side of the battery and the other to the other side of the light bulb( or an other electrical device. if your circuit is including a switch this is how you do it: ( you will need three wires for this circuit if you have one electrical device) connect one end of the wire to the battery and the other to the switch.Grab another wire and attach one end of it on the other side of the switch and the other to the electrical device (light bulb). Grab another wire and attach one end of it to the other side of battery and the other to the other side of your electrical device. And there you have it how to assemble a circuit
What is the procedure to connect two circuits without losing the output voltage of first circuit which is transfered to the second circuit?
I assume you are talking about 120volt electrical circuits ???? If so, just wire them in parallel. In other words, connect the black wire to line side on each circuit and the white wire to neutral on each circuit. The bare ground wire goes to ground (green) At each circuit will be 120 volts AC. Do not exceed the maximum current of the circuit breaker supplying the current (typically 15 - 20 amps)
If you have a circuit consisting of a battery and a wire What two factors determine the amount of current in the circuit?
The voltage of the battery, and the resistance of the circuit (including the resistance of the wire and the internal resistance of the battery).
What is a battery and how does it work?
a battery is a acid full piece of medal that helps electric powered things when you connect wire on each side.
Where do you connect the white wire from the shunt breaker?
Connect to the circuit neutral wire which should also be white.
How do you make a led glow by the help of battery?
Connect one wire from the LED to each of the terminals on a battery - provided the battery has enough power, the LED will glow !
How do you make a circuit with a light bulb and battery?
Get your bulb, it should be a very small wattage (weak) one, get your battery and wires, connect one wire to plus side of abttery and other wire to minus side of battery, then connect to the bulb, you may have to play around a bit to find a connection that produces light.
What is close circuit?
Close circuit is a complete circuit of battery wire bulb and a switch
How you could use a wire and a battery to create a manetic field?
Any current will produce a magnetic field. If you let a current pass through the wire, you got your magnetic field.Note: If you connect the wire directly to the battery, without any resistance, you'll most likely destroy the battery, due to a short circuit.
How do you connect the parts of a simple electric circuit together so that the light bulb lights up?
Simply connect the -ve of the bulb to -ve of the battery and +ve of bulb to +ve of battery using an electrically conductive wire, the bulb will light automatically.
What do you need to have a simple circuit?
Take a battery, a wire and a little light bulb. Put the wire on the flat part of the battery then put the other end of the wire on the side part of the bottom of the light bulb. Put the end of the light bulb on the top of the battery, dont touch the wire to the top when the light bulb is on it because is either shocks you or doesnt work.
How does a wire connect to a bulb?
You take a wire and stick it to the positive end of the batter. Then connect another wire to the negative end of the battery. Connect both wires to the lightbulb.
