Here's a breakdown:
* Electrons are negatively charged particles. They naturally move from areas of high electron concentration (negative potential) to areas of low electron concentration (positive potential).
* Voltage is the difference in electrical potential between two points. This difference creates an electric field, which exerts a force on the electrons.
* This force pushes the electrons in a specific direction, from the negative terminal to the positive terminal. This flow of electrons constitutes an electric current.
Think of it like this: Imagine a hill with a water tank at the top and a stream flowing downhill.
* The water tank represents a high potential, while the stream represents a lower potential.
* Gravity acts as the force, pushing the water downhill.
* Similarly, voltage acts as the force, pushing the electrons from the negative terminal to the positive terminal.
In summary, the electric potential difference (voltage) creates an electric field that exerts a force on electrons, causing them to flow in a specific direction.
