Answer:
Explanation:
IMAGINE THE WATER TANK IN YOU HOME.
FOR THE WATER TO FLOW FROM IT ,THE TANK MUST BE AT A HIGHER PLACE BECAUSE WATER FROM TANK CANNOT FLOW FROM BOTTOM TO TOP,IT CAN ONLY FLOW FROM TOP TO BOTTOM.
HERE THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN HEIGHT THAT MAKES THE WATER FLOW
IF THIS DIFFERENCE BECOMES ZERO THEN WATER WONT FLOW
LIKE THIS IN A CIRCUIT THERE ARE TWO ENDS A LOWER POTENTIAL(NEGATIVE) AND HIGHER POTENTIAL(POSITIVE) AND THIS IS WHAT MAKES ELECTRON FLOW
THIS IS WHAT AN ELECTRIC POTENTIAL IS.PROPER BOOK DEF:The work required per unit charge to move a charge from one point to another
THE BATTERY IS USED TO MAINTAIN THIS POTENTIAL DIFFERENCE.
