Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What causes charges to move in a circuit?
A
voltage
B
energy
C
electricity
D
magnetism
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The “electrical pressure” due to the difference in voltage between the positive and negative terminals of a battery causes the charge (electrons) to move from the positive terminal to the negative terminal.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Voltage generates the flow of electrons (electric current) through a circuit. The specific name for the source of energy that creates the voltage to make current flow is electromotive force.

Detailed explanation-4: -Electrons move because they get pushed by some external force. There are several energy sources that can force electrons to move. Voltage is the amount of push or pressure that is being applied to the electrons. It is analogous to water pressure.
