Batteries to Circuits

A battery has both a positive side and a negative side. When one observes the transition of energy starting from the negative side to the positive side, this is called electron flow. When one observes the transition of energy from the positive side to the negative side, this is called electrical current.


In a nutshell, the chemical energy from the battery was converted into electrical energy, which was used to light up the lightbulb.


I'm terrible at paint. :(
