What is th potential difference that causes charges to move in a circuit?

The answer is voltage, resistance, electric discharge, and current. It is caused by a difference in energy stability between two points that favors a charge to move down a potential difference.


What causes charges to move in a curciut?

Charges move in a circuit due to the presence of an electric field established by a potential difference (voltage) between two points in the circuit. This electric field exerts a force on the charges, causing them to flow in response to the potential difference and complete a closed loop.


What is the machine called that separates charges?

The machine that separates charges is called an electrostatic generator. It works by creating a potential difference that causes positive and negative charges to move apart from each other.


Does an electric cell supply energy to move charges through an electirc field?

Yes, an electric cell supplies energy to move charges through an electric field. The cell provides a potential difference that creates an electric field, which then exerts a force on the charges and causes them to move.


What are the steps that describe the movement of electric charges in a closed circuit?

Charges leave the dry cell. Charges move through the switch. Charges move from the switch to the light. Charges move through the light bulb. Charges move through the wire leading back to the dry cell.


True or false are charges in an electric circuit flow because of a difference in electrical potential energy?

True. Charges in an electric circuit flow because of a difference in electrical potential energy. This difference causes the charges to move from areas of higher potential energy to areas of lower potential energy, thus creating an electric current.


What enables the charges in an electric circut to flow?

The flow of charges in an electric circuit is enabled by the presence of a power source, such as a battery or generator, which creates a potential difference or voltage. This voltage difference causes the charges to move through the circuit, from the negative terminal to the positive terminal, in a continuous loop. The flow of charges is driven by the electric field created by the voltage source.


Is voltage the force that causes motion?

Voltage is the measure of the electric potential difference between two points in a circuit. It is not the force that causes motion directly, but it provides the potential energy needed to move electric charges through a circuit. The motion of electric charges in a circuit is driven by this potential difference, or voltage.


Do charges move around a circuit due to electrostatic forces or potential difference?

Yes to both.


What causes some materials to be good insulatores of electricity?

because electric charges move to them more slowly


What actions causes current in an electric circuit?

Current in an electric circuit is caused by the movement of electric charges, usually electrons, through a conductor. This movement is typically initiated by applying a voltage difference across the circuit, which creates an electric field that pushes the charges. The current flow will continue as long as there is a closed path for the charges to move through.


Does the movement of proton causes static electricity?

No. Static energy is present, whether charges (such as protons, or electrons) move, or not.
