What enables the charges in an electric circut to flow?

The flow of charges in an electric circuit is enabled by the presence of a power source, such as a battery or generator, which creates a potential difference or voltage. This voltage difference causes the charges to move through the circuit, from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, in a continuous loop. The flow of charges is driven by the electric field created by the voltage source.


What is the continuous flow of electric charges through a material?

Yes, an electric current is the flow of charged particles.


Why positive charges are called sources and negative are called sink?

Old (very old) tradition, when electricity was assumed to flow from positive to negative. (They hadn't figured out electrons yet.)

What is the conventional current flow?

Conventional current flow is the flow of positive charges, or the equivalent flow of positive charges. That is, if what flows is really negative charges (for example, an electron), which flow in one direction, the "conventional current" flows in the opposite direction.


What is a current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction called?

A current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction is called direct current (DC). In DC, electrons flow continuously in one direction from the negative to the positive terminal of a power source.
