-- heating of the conductors somewhere in the circuit, as in toasters and incandescent light bulbs

-- mechanical energy if something like a motor is caused to move

-- assembling or disassembling molecular bonds, if the current is used to separate

compounds or for electroplating etc.

-- radiated out into space, if the current is used to generate radio waves

-- radiated out into the air, if the current is used to generate sound energy, as in a

home-stereo or PA system

When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?

The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.


What is the object called that supplies energy to move current through a circuit?

The object is called a power source, such as a battery or a generator, which provides the energy needed to move current through a circuit.


What does the electric battery do?

If there is a full circuit, it will send current around it.


Why does a circuit stop working when you remove the battery?

The battery is the power source of the circuit. It supplies current to the circuit and the circuit is simply a path for the current to follow. When you remove the current (battery), the path still exists but there is no current going through it.


What part of an electrical cicuit produces the electric current?

Either the cell e.g. a battery, if one is included in the circuit. Or a generator such as a dynamo


What is current in the battery called?

A battery contains a charge of electrons. When these electrons leave the battery and travel through a circuit that is described as current.


What causes current to flow from one terminal of the battery to the other?

Current flows from one terminal of a battery to the other due to the movement of electrons within the circuit. When a circuit is completed, electrons are pushed by the battery's voltage to move through the circuit, creating an electric current.


When wires are connected to the terminals of a battery. what causes electric current in the circuit?

The electric current in a circuit is caused by the flow of electrically charged particles, typically electrons, through the wires. When the battery is connected, it creates a potential difference (voltage) that pushes the electrons to move from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, creating a continuous flow of current in the circuit.


Where do the electrons come from in the circuit?

Electrons come from the atoms within the materials that make up the circuit. When a voltage source is connected to the circuit, it creates a potential difference that causes the free electrons in the material to move, creating an electric current.


What journey does an electron make in a battery powered electric circuit?

In a battery-powered electric circuit, an electron travels from the negative terminal of the battery, through the external circuit (where it powers devices or performs work), and then returns to the positive terminal of the battery. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that powers the circuit.


How does a battery cause electrons to move through an electric circuit?

A battery creates an electric field within the circuit, which applies a force on the electrons, causing them to move. This movement of electrons creates an electric current that flows through the circuit, allowing electrical devices to function.


What is the evidence that an electrical circuit is closed?

When that circuit has no breaks. It is an endless path of current flow.
