Why do electrons flow in a circuit

1 Answer

4 votes

Answer:

When a negative charge is brought near one end of a conductor electrons are repelled. ... When electric voltage is applied, an electric field within the metal triggers the movement of the electrons, making them shift from one end to another end of the conductor. Electrons will move toward the positive side.
