Kinetic vs Potential EnergyKinetic vs Potential Energy
Kinetic EnergyKinetic Energy Potential EnergyPotential EnergyThe energy possessed by a body because of its motion
The energy of a particle or system of particles derived from position, or condition, rather than motion.

These electrons flow when there is a These electrons flow when there is a potential difference in the charges potential difference in the charges across a conductor. Aka: protons are across a conductor. Aka: protons are on the other side. on the other side.
Current – electron flow Current – electron flow modelmodel The current you are used to working with is The current you are used to working with is
nothing more than moving electrons, moving nothing more than moving electrons, moving from a region of negative charge to an area of from a region of negative charge to an area of positive charge.positive charge.
As a potential difference is impressed across the As a potential difference is impressed across the conductor, the positive terminal of the battery conductor, the positive terminal of the battery attracts electrons beyond point A. Point A attracts electrons beyond point A. Point A becomes positive because it now has an electron becomes positive because it now has an electron deficiency. As a result, electrons are attracted deficiency. As a result, electrons are attracted from point B … and so on. from point B … and so on.
