How do electrons flow through an electric circuit?
Responses
1) The electrons flow out of the positive end of the battery, through the wires of the circuit, and back into the negative end of the battery.
2) The power source pushes electrons through the circuit.

5) Electrons flow from the negative terminal of the power source to the positive terminal, creating a closed loop circuit.
which of these four choices best suits the answer
The most accurate answer is typically the one that states that electrons flow from the negative end of the power source (battery) through the circuit and back to the positive end. Therefore, option 4: "The electrons flow out of the negative end of the battery, through the wires of the circuit, and back into the positive end of the battery" is the best choice.
