I think you are talking about a timing circuit. More specifically, it would be an "off delay" timing circuit.

who provides the energy that moves the charges in the circuit?

The energy that moves the charges in a circuit comes from the power source, typically a battery or generator. This power source creates a voltage difference, which pushes the electric charges through the conductor in the circuit.


What energy comes from changes in an atom's nucleus?

Nuclear energy comes from changes in an atom's nucleus, such as nuclear fission or fusion reactions. These processes release large amounts of energy in the form of heat and radiation.


Where does the energy that drives a current through an electrical circuit come from?

It varies, depending on the circuit. Usually either energy stored in a cell or battery; or from the power outlet - which, in turn, is generated somewhere, by some generator, before it is sent to our home or factory.


What are the differences between a parallel and series circuit when it comes to connecting batteries?

In a parallel circuit, batteries are connected side by side, allowing each battery to provide power independently. In a series circuit, batteries are connected end to end, increasing the total voltage but requiring all batteries to work together to provide power.


What is it called when a circuit that has only one path?

Electricity flows where there is a potential difference and some means of discharging that difference. A circuit is the loop of the thing causing the potential difference and the components that allow it to discharge. What seems to be confusing you is that the power source isn't always included in a circuit diagram. If you think in terms of a lighting circuit, the light comes on when the switch is closed. The part of the circuit inside your house only has the mains supply, some power switchgear, the light switch and the light. However, the circuit continues back through the supply cables to the generating station. Break the circuit at any point, in your house, under the street or a wire in the generator, and out goes the light.
