Electrons are made to flow in a wire when there is
A)an imbalance of charges in the wire.
B)more potential energy at one end of the wire than the other.
C)a potential difference across its ends.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrons are charged particles and they naturally move from a region of higher potential energy to a region of lower potential energy. A potential difference across the wire provides this difference in potential energy, which makes electrons flow through the wire. An imbalance of charges in the wire or more potential energy at one end of the wire than the other can exist, but neither of these conditions is necessary for the flow of electrons.
