It doesn't matter where the bulb is in respect to the battery, as long as the circuit is complete, the bulb will light up.

Describe how a battery causes electrons to move in a circuit?
The electrons don't actually move the electricity; the charge moves. The electrons slowly drift in the opposite direction from the charge.
What occurs to voltage in a series and parallel circuit?
In a DC parallel circuit, equal voltage is applied to each device that is connected in parallel. For example, if three devices are connected in parallel to a 9 volt battery, each device will have 9 volts applied to it. In a DC series circuit, the sum of the voltage drops across each device connected in series equals the source voltage. So say you have three devices connected in series, and they are connected across a 9 volt battery. Each device will have less than 9 volts across it, but if you add the voltage drops across each device togther, it will equal 9 volts. Batteries in series have an additive effect to the voltage. A single AA battery has 1.5V. Two in series will have 3.0V. Batteries in parallel do not experience an additive effect to voltage. To answer this question briefly there is a big difference. The major difference is the resistance the circuit offers when the same components are wired in series or parallel. I do not know how much you want to know, but resistance of a component is measured in Ohms. An easy way to think of ohms is how much force or energy is required to move an object. The less ohms a circuit has the more it can do with the same amount of energy, which in some cases can be a bad thing. To move on, lets say you have two light bulbs, to give a cliche example, and both are 2 ohm load. Now if you wired these two light bulbs in series, connect positive of one bulb to negative of the other and then the others to a battery, the bulbs would be half as bright as one bulb to the same battery. Yet if you wired these in parallel there brightness would be the same as if one light bulb was connected to the circuit. This is because the voltage in the parallel circuit doesn't decrease when you add a light bulb, whereas on the series circuit it does decrease. Hope that helps
What is a battery conductor?
yesA battery is condutor because it free to move
How does a series circuit light 2 bulbs?
The current flow is identical.
How much does it cost to move an electricity meter?
The meter is typically installed in the main circuit panel of the house. If you want to move it, you can do it as part of a service / panel upgrade. We did this when we moved into our new house - we replaced the 1950s vintage main circuit panel and 100A service with a newer 200A panel and service. It was about a grand, but we didn't actually move the panel from where it was, so it may cost more for what you want.
What happens to a bulb when you move it closer to a battery on a circuit?
The bulb will get brighter
What will happen to a bulb when you move it closer to the battery on a circuit?
Nothing special should happen. What matters for the bulb is the voltage difference between its ends.
What supplies energy to move through a circuit?
A battery
What supplys energy to move electricity through a circuit?
A battery supplies energy to move electricity through a circuit (Remember, a circuit is a wire.)
What happens when a circuit closes?
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
What happens when a circuit is closed?
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
What supplies energy to move elecricity through a circuit?
A battery
Do electrons from a battery reach a bulb before it light?
No, electrons from a battery don't reach the bulb before it lights. An electric current is not simply a flow of electrons. Rather, an electron in a circuit will move only a short distance and then nudge another electron into motion, which will do the same thing with yet another electron. So while the current moves through the entire circuit, individual electrons do not unless it is left on for a very long time.

Does a battery supply the electrons in an electric circuit?
No, is it incorrect to say that a battery produces the charges that circulate in a circuit. Some might suggest that a battery is a current source, but the battery should most properly be considered a voltage source. It generates the electromotive force (emf or voltage) that causes charges to move. (It does this through electrochemical reactions.) The charges that circulate in a circuit (which might be termed the current flow) are already in the conductor and components. All the battery does is produce the voltage (the force) to move charges. Let's look at current flow and see why things might be best looked at in the manner we've stated.Note that the way a battery moves charges is to "inject" an electron into the circuit where it is tied to the negative terminal of that battery. The electron causes one electron in the circuit at the terminal to "move over" and that will cause another electron to "move over" and so on. This will continue until the "last electron" in the circuit at the positive terminal of the battery leaves the circuit and "goes into" the battery. Current flow in the circuit is like musical chairs with electrons everywhere in the circuit "moving over a space" to cause the current flow.Having gone through all that, it should be easier to see why a battery probably should not be considered the producer of charges that circulate in a circuit. Rather, the battery is the source of the voltage that drives the charges (the current) in the circuit.
How a battery cause electron in move in a circuit?
It is an oxidation/reduction reaction. Electrons flow from anode to cathode.
How does a switching on and off can be done in a sequence of loght for example in a miniature lighting circuit we put in a marriage function?
switching on the tourch for example is when as you switch it on it will move the switch connecting it to a circuit that lights up the bulb and when you switch the switch off the switch will move breaking the circuit
