The energy source for a circuit is called a power supply. It provides the electrical energy needed to power the components in the circuit. This can be in the form of batteries, generators, or direct mains electricity.
The power supply is the part that provides energy for each circuit. It converts electrical energy from a source into the appropriate voltage, current, and frequency to power the circuits.
The power source, such as a battery or generator, provides the energy in a circuit. It supplies the voltage needed to push electrons through the circuit.
A wire itself is not an energy source, but it can carry electricity from a power source to a device or appliance. The wire is considered part of an electrical circuit that connects the energy source to the device.
The "why" is a bit hard to answer, but this is just part of a more general situation: you need an energy source to make ANYTHING work. The real reason for all this is the so-called "Second Law of Thermodynamics".Specifically in the case of an electrical circuit, a current will flow as a result of a voltage. The details are expressed in Ohm's Law.
The voltage source (such as a battery) is what provides the energy needed to push the electrons through the circuit. Electrons flow from the negative terminal (cathode) to the positive terminal (anode) of the voltage source in a closed circuit.

The third part of an electric circuit is the power source, which provides the electrical energy needed to drive the current through the circuit and power the load. This can be a battery, generator, or power supply depending on the application.
The generic name of that part is the LOAD.

Voltage source: is any source that voltage and amperage come from. Resistor: is any part of a circuit that consumes that energy!
The potential difference is provided by the power source, which can be a battery or some form of electric generator. Inside the source, electric charges are raised up a potential gradient, and they then give up their energy as they travel down the potential gradient in the circuit that is being supplied with energy.

Three basic parts of a circuit are: 1. Active components = source of energy 2. Transmission Lines = wiring and control devices 3. Passive components = load or user of energy
The voltage source (such as a battery) is what provides the energy needed to push the electrons through the circuit. Electrons flow from the negative terminal (cathode) to the positive terminal (anode) of the voltage source in a closed circuit.
An electrical circuit can demonstrate energy flow even if it is missing a component due to its closed-loop structure. The energy source will push electrons through the circuit in the loop, and any missing component or gap will not stop this flow. This is because electric current flows in a closed loop, and the energy transfer can still be observed in the completed part of the circuit.
Inside an electric cell, chemical energy is converted into electrical energy. When the cell is part of a complete electric circuit, the electrical energy is then converted into other forms of energy, such as light, heat, or mechanical work, depending on the components in the circuit.
