Difference of potential (voltage) causes current to flow as long as there is a complete path (circuit) for it to flow along.

Voltage can be thought of as electrical pressure along the same lines as water pressure. If there is a competed path the electrical 'pressure'will push the electrons from the higher potention (pressure) to the lower potential (pressure).

How is electricity transmitted through a conducting wire?

Electricity is transmitted through a conducting wire by the movement of electrons. When a voltage is applied to the wire, it creates an electric field that pushes the electrons along the wire, allowing the flow of electricity from one point to another.

Howdoes Electricity flow through a wire?

Electricity flow through a wire as a result of the movement of electrons and hols.


How does electricity flow through wires?

Electricity flows through wires due to the movement of electrons. When a voltage is applied to a wire, it creates an electric field that pushes the electrons along the wire. This flow of electrons is what we refer to as an electric current. The electrons move from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of the power source, completing the circuit and allowing electricity to power devices.


What is the definition of hot wire in electricity?
