Which statement is correct?
A)voltage flows through a circuit
B)voltage flows across a circuit
C)voltage is impressed across a device in a circuit

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Voltage is impressed across a device in a circuit, meaning that there is a difference in potential between two points in the circuit that causes the flow of electrons through the device. Voltage does not technically flow, but it is a measure of the potential energy that can cause current (the flow of electrons) to flow through a circuit. Therefore, statement C is the most accurate.
