Priscilla was building a circuit that used copper wires to connect a battery to a light bulb. As she connected the final wire from the light bulb back to the battery, the light bulb turned on. Priscilla knew that current was now flowing through her closed circuit. What makes the current in the circuit flow? pls help !!!

Answer:

The voltage or potential difference

Step-by-step explanation:

What makes current flow in a circuit is the voltage or the potential difference.

This force is supplied by the battery or the mains electrical circuit.

  • Every circuit requires the voltage to drive current through
  • When a circuit is complete, the battery is able to overcome any resistance by the generating enough voltage which is the force to drive the current through.
