1. In an electric circuit, electrons in the wire flow due to me,
Answers
Explanation:
→electric current.
because of me the electrons flow in the conducting wire in the circuit
pls mark as brainliest
Answer:
Potential Difference
In an electric circuit , electrons flow due to the existence of potential. When we're connecting a wire to the terminals of a battery, we're creating potential difference.
The electrons move from negative to positive terminal of a battery, while current (which is said to be moving in the opposite direction of current) moves from positive to negative end.
Some might say that electrons move due to current but that's not so, until and unless there is no potential difference there is no electricity, reason why the electrons don't flow in an open circuit.
A source of electricity, such as a battery, provides electrical energy in the circuit, due to which the electrons flow. Batteries are often called the power source.

[Well, you can ignore this if you don't understand but I just learnt it in my Physics lecture so I was excited to share :D ]
If we're saying that electrons are moving in a conducting wire, we don't mean that they're actually moving.
" Electrons in a conductor don't move like cars on a high way"
Every substance is made up of atoms and atoms are made up of the nucleus and electrons.
These electrons are held firmly in place due the electrostatic force of attraction between the electrons and neutrons.
In case of conductors, these electrons are held loose. Because of which they can leave their atoms when potential difference is applied.
This way, Each atom will deliver an electron to the next atom. This next atom takes in the electron and sends out another one on the other side.
The cells contain electrolyte so in that case electricity is generated due to the movement of ions.
