Question

When this circuit is closed, which way do the electrons flow?

- from the negative end of the battery through the capacitor through the resistors to the positive end

- from the positive end of the battery through the resistors through the capacitor to the negative end

- from the positive end of the battery through the capacitor through the resistors to the negative end

- from the negative end of the battery through the resistors through the capacitor to the positive end

Answer 1

from the positive end of the battery through the capacitor through the resistors to the negative end...

Current flows from higher potential (+) to lower potential (-)..

Answer 2

- from the negative end of the battery through the capacitor through the resistors to the positive end

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we know that battery is used to apply constant potential difference which will help to provide potential energy to the electric charge.

Now this charge will use this electric potential energy to move through higher potential region to lower potential region

here positive charge will always move from higher potential region to lower potential region while electron will move in opposite sense. So electron will always flow from lower potential point to higher potential point as it is negatively charged

so here the electron will start from negative terminal of battery and then goes to capacitor and then resistors and then finally move to positive terminal of the cell.
