The components in the electric circuit get their operating power from the power supply. The power supply can come in the form of:
- a battery or other electrochemical device that converts chemical reactive energy into electricity
- a non-chemical electric charge storage device, such as a capacitor
- a photovoltaic cell (solar cell) or other transducer that converts light or mechanical energy into electricity, such as a piezo crystal, a microphone, etc.
- an inductive generator, such as at a hydroelectric plant, windmill, nuclear plant, coal fired plant, etc.
Power supplies can be localized within the circuit, such as a battery, or they can be remotely distant with a transmission medium that delivers the electricity to the local circuit, such as in a modern power grid.

Which electrical component in a circuit provides energy to drive electric charges around a circuit?
Power source such as a battery if u pluged it in it will supply energy to drive electric charges around a circuit
What is The complete path of an electric current described as?
circuit is the complete path of an electric current including the source of electric energy.
Which term does not represent electric power in a circuit?
There are many terms that do not represent electric power in a circuit, such as cauliflower, aeroplane and rabbit.Electric power in a circuit is measured in watts (W).
What is the third part of an electric circuit besides the wires and the load?
i think it may be energy source
An electric current occurs in a circuit when?
An electric current occurs in a circuit when a source of energy (or power, which is energy with a time factor) causes electrons to start slowly moving through the circuit at a speed of a few mm or cm per hour. This allows the quantity that we call charge to race through the circuit at a speed of roughly a million miles per hour, which is what we call electric current. Mathematically defined, electric current is the amount of charge which passes a given point in the circuit each second of time, I = Q/t .The source of energy or power can be as nearby as an energy cell or battery, or can be an electrical generating station located many miles away.
What is the object called that supplies energy to move current through a circuit?
It's an electric cell.
What supplies energy in an electric current?
Electric cells
How does a electric circuit work?
When energy passes through a metal it creates an electric circuit.
What energy transformation takes place inside an electric cell when it is part of a complete electric circuit?
When an electric cell is a part of a complete electric circuit, the chemical energy of its chemical is converted in to electrical energy.
What supplies energy to move through a circuit?
A battery
What supplys energy to move electricity through a circuit?
A battery supplies energy to move electricity through a circuit (Remember, a circuit is a wire.)
What supplies energy to move elecricity through a circuit?
A battery
The function of a capacitorin an electric circuit is to?
The function of a capacitor or an electric circuit is to store energy. It keeps this energy stored until it is need for release at a later time.
Which electrical component in a circuit provides energy to drive electric charges around a circuit?
Power source such as a battery if u pluged it in it will supply energy to drive electric charges around a circuit
What is the purpose of a variable capacitor?
Capacitors are circuit devices for storing electric energy. Variable capacitors are mainly used in filter circuits and power supplies. They are used in a variety of appliances.
The potential energy of an electric circuit is measured in units of?
volts
