Are all the electrons flowing in a circuit provided by the battery?
Whether all the electrons flowing in a circuit provided by the battery.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The flow of electron occurs due to the potential difference of the battery in the circuit. In a circuit, the current flows due to the movement of the electrons through the wire.
In a circuit, the wire has already some mobile conduction electrons. When a circuit is connected to a battery, the electrons from the negative terminal start flowing due to conduction between the mobile electrons and electrons from the battery.
Conclusion:
Both battery and circuit itself provides electrons.
