DIRECTION OF
ELECTRIC CURRENT
It is a complete path
through which electric
current flows.
It should be
constructed in an
unbroken loop.

When these electrons pass through
a load or a receiver, electrical
energy can change into other forms,
such as light, heat and sound.
A dry cell provides the ‘push’ needed
for electrons to flow in the loop.
These electrons are already present
in the wires.
