โดยปกติแล้วพลังงานไฟฟ้าจะถูกส่งโดยเครื่องกำเนิดไฟฟ้า
At the point when electric charges travel through a potential distinction from a higher to a lower voltage, that is when ordinary flow (positive charge) moves from the positive (+) terminal to the negative (−) terminal, work is finished by the charges on the gadget. The potential vitality of the charges because of the voltage between the terminals is changed over to dynamic vitality in the gadget. These gadgets are called uninvolved parts or loads; they 'expend' electric power from the circuit, changing over it to different types of vitality, for example, mechanical work, heat, light, and so forth. Models are electrical machines, for example, lights, electric engines, and electric warmers. In substituting current (AC) circuits the course of the voltage occasionally switches, however the current consistently spills out of the higher potential to the lower potential side.
