How current electricity moves in a circuit?

You need a source of electrical potential difference, also known as voltage (which is the technical term for what for you call "electric pressure"). The easiest and most common voltage source is a household battery. Hook up the positive electrode of the battery using a conductor (eg. a copper wire) to one end of your circuit and the negative electrode to the other end, and voila, you'll have electric current flowing through your circuit.


Is a battery provides not a source of constant current or a source of constant voltage?

Batteries will provide a source of constant voltage. A battery also can be used to produce an electrical current immediately upon a necessary connection.

Electric Source You hook both to an electric Load.


What is a current source?

A current source is a source that we can draw current from and can regulate to control the amount of current we draw. It is kind of a "mirror" of the voltage source. Here's how it might work. We usually are interested in keeping the current constant when we use a current source (though not always). To do this takes a varying voltage source to keep that current constant when using the source with a dynamic load (a load that is changing). There will have to be a way for the source to sense current flow and compare it to the setting put in. That way the source can maintain that constant current by adjusting to the correct voltage needed to maintain it. Many battery charging applications require this technology. We want "maximum" current so we can quickly charge the battery, but we cannot "overload" the battery, so we have to be careful not to do that. A constant current source is the answer. It will supply a steady "maximum" current, and the source will (as the battery charges and the "resistance to more charge" increases) increase in voltage to keep that amount of current flowing into the battery to charge it in the shortest time. A VERY GOOD EXPLANATION and I could add that a perfect current source would have 0 (zero) input/output impedance or you could say it's would be more like "a short that provides power".


What is a closed electric circuit?

An example of a closed electrical circuit would be a battery to a light bulb, the only source of power being the battery and no other input from an outside source. Like video cameras in a store they would be considered a closed circuit surveillance system so long as the signals stay inside the store and don't leave to a remote location.

What particles create the electric current in a fruit battery?

An electric current is movement of electrons, no matter the source or cause.


What is a temporary source of electric current?

A battery is a common temporary source of electric current. When connected to a circuit, a battery transforms stored chemical energy into electrical energy to power devices or equipment. Once the stored energy is depleted, the battery needs to be recharged or replaced to continue providing electric current.

Is a battery a temporary source of electric current?

Yes. A generator is another temporary source, but it can usually be used more than once, so a battery would be the best choice.


How do you identify dc source is connected instead of battery?

"dc" is direct current which is what batteries use, whereas "ac" is alternating current, which is what your household receptacle uses.

Which creates a potential difference in an electric circuit?

A potential difference in an electric circuit is created by a voltage source, such as a battery or a power supply. This causes electrons to flow from higher potential to lower potential, creating an electric current in the circuit.
