well a battery is a direct current and the currents that move in house wires is converted to direct currents.

What does a battery use to produce electricity?

a battery has potential ( voltage). without a circuit atatched to it nothing happens. But when used in an electic ciruit, like with a light bulb, current will flow(amps). current flow is what causes your light bulb to light. A battery has the pressure (voltage) so to speak to cause current flow. Generally, current flows from negative to positive ina complete circuit.


What elements allow electricity to pass through?

Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A circuit lets electricity flow through it.Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons. Conductors are metal, usually copper or aluminum.Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.Metals are good conductors. They provide little opposition (resistance) to the flow of currentNote that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A conductor lets electrons easily flow in it.


Something that will not let electricity flow through it is a?

Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. Bad conductor of current, or an insulator.


How is called flow of electricity?

An electrical current.


When electricity flows wires into our home?

Electricity does not flow wires into your home, wires direct the flow of current into your home.

Can electricity flow without a battery?

i think current cannot pass without battery.


How does a battery produce electricity?

A battery produces electricity through a chemical reaction that creates a flow of electrons, which generates an electric current.


How does a battery produce electricity and what is the process involved?

A battery produces electricity through a chemical reaction that occurs inside it. When the battery is connected to a circuit, the reaction causes electrons to flow from one terminal to the other, creating an electric current. This flow of electrons is what we perceive as electricity.


What electricity will let battery and light bulb flow?

Direct current (DC) electricity is the type of electricity that will flow from a battery to power a light bulb since batteries provide DC power. Alternating current (AC) electricity, found in most wall outlets, typically can't directly power a light bulb from a battery without a converter or inverter.


Why does the flow from the battery increase when the switch is closed?

When the switch is closed, it creates a complete circuit for the flow of electricity from the battery. This allows the electrons to move freely and increases the flow of current in the circuit.

Something that does not allow current to flow is called an insulator. "Electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Note, current is the flow of electrons.


What within a cell causes the charge that allows electricity to flow through wires?

Where does electricity get energy?

An electric current HAS energy. The energy comes from whatever caused the electric current to flow in the first place - for example, a generator, or a battery.
