Which of these events would indicate a movement along a supply curve for batteries
Workers at a major battery factory go on strike and stop production.
If there was a change in the price of batteries would indicate movement along the supply curve. For example if the battery manufacturer raised the price of AA batteries from 3.50 to 3.95 since it would cause movement along the curve. In an ideal economics situation the price would change if the demand shifts or the supply shifts or the change in price will fall back to being equal.
