You need basically two things: a complete, closed-loop conductive path and an electro-motive force, that is, a voltage. Check out this picture for a simple circuit containing a battery, two wires, and a light bulb: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/images/sci_dia_52.gif. The wires and bulb complete the conductive path from, and returning to, the battery.
What else can I help you with?
Why does an electric circuit that operates correctly need to be closed circuit?
An electric circuit needs to be a closed circuit in order for the current to continuously flow from the power source through the electrical components and back to the source. An open circuit, where there is a break in the circuit, would prevent the flow of electricity and disrupt the operation of the circuit.
Is true if there is voltage in circuit there must be electrons flowing through the circuit.?
No. For electrons to flow, you need a current.
Why electric current current exist if an electric circuit is broken?
well, current is the movement of free electrons so if you break a point in the wire you effectively stop the electrons from flowing as the electrons need to be touching each other in order to pass on energy or charge. The reason why if there is a gap in the circuit the electrons dont just jump it is because of resistance of air as the electrons in air are not free to flow they are not conduction electrons unlike in a metal such as copper wire.
What is the theory states that electrons flow from negative to positive?
The theory that states electrons flow from negative to positive is known as conventional current flow. This theory was established before the discovery of the negatively charged electron and is still used for practical purposes in electrical engineering and circuit analysis.
Where does the electricity come from in a circuit?
I dont know. Thats why im searching it. I wish i knew it i need it for my science homework. (which i still dont have yet and i wont at anytime i skip it and i ill never find the rite answer to it thts why u need to reaad) (who does read)lol =)

In order for the electrons to move they need a closed losed loop called?
In order for electrons to move, they need a closed loop called a circuit. A circuit allows electrons to flow from the negative terminal of a voltage source, through the electronic components, and back to the positive terminal, enabling the operation of devices.
Is true if there is voltage in circuit there must be electrons flowing through the circuit.?
No. For electrons to flow, you need a current.
Why do electric circuits need to use conductors?
Without conductors, electrons do not flow where you want them to flow. An electrical circuit is a flow of electrons.
What does an electric current need in order to flow?
An electric current needs a closed circuit, which provides a complete path for the flow of electrons. This circuit typically includes a power source, such as a battery or generator, connecting wires, and a load, such as a light bulb or motor, that utilizes the electricity. Without a closed circuit, electrons cannot flow continuously and no electric current is generated.
Why do you need a switch in a circuit?
To Complete the Circuit To allow the Electrons to Flow from the conducting material and to avoid the shocks plastics are used
In order for the electrons to move they need a closed loop called?
electrons need a closed loop called what in order to move?
Where electrons to move in a circuit they need a complete pathway and?
Electrons need a complete pathway, or circuit, to flow because they require a closed loop to maintain a continuous current. This pathway typically includes a power source, such as a battery, and conductive materials, like wires, to facilitate the movement of electrons. If the circuit is broken or incomplete, the flow of electrons is interrupted, preventing the operation of electrical devices. Essentially, the complete circuit allows for the transfer of energy and the functioning of electronic systems.
Are all the electrons flowing in a circuit provided by the battery?
because they only form a single path then the electron flow in one way if they have parallel the electron go between lines and go off. i order to have eletri flow you need to have single line.
Why are circuits connected?
Electrons need to be able to flow from each part of the circuit to the next, and they don’t flow easily through air. This is why wires are used. They have a smaller resistance than air, and so the electrons can flow smoothly.
What does a current flow of electrons need?
Your question is not clear. A current is generated when a group of electrons flow through a conductor, and this happens when there is a potential difference between the 2 ends of the conductor. If you want to know how can we start the flow of electrons it is by creating a potential difference in between the 2 ends of the conductor.
Why electric current current exist if an electric circuit is broken?
