Electrons flow in an electrical circuit by
A)being bumped by other electrons.
B)colliding with molecules.
C)interacting with an established electric field.
D)none of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrons flow in an electrical circuit due to the presence of an established electric field. Electric potential difference drives the electrons from a higher potential to a lower potential, and this difference is established by a set of charged components in the circuit, such as a battery or a power source. Electrons do not flow by colliding with molecules or being bumped by other electrons.
