Question

In the diagram, the arrow shows the movement of electric charges through a wire connected to a battery.

What causes the electric charges to flow from one end of the battery to the other?

A)a balance in electric potential

B)a balance in resistance

C)a difference in electric potential

D)a difference in resistance

Answer 1

C) a difference in electric potential

Explanation:

The amount of work done per unit charge to move a charge from one point to another is known as electric potential. The charges will not move if the potential difference is zero

Therefore,

A difference in potential causes charges to move from one end to another
