losing potential
consider a very simple circuit consisting of resistor and a dc voltage source.
How do electrons move in the wire(connecting resistor and source) when there is no potential difference across its ends.
considering that voltage refers to measurement of potential energy that exists to move electrons from one point to another.
where am i wrong here?

infinity_nimishi am not getting ur doubt. the explanation is simple.
dc source creates diff of +V volts and gnd. -
tusharatdceI jus meant electrons need energy to flow from one point to another but across a conducting wire there is zero potential theoretically then how do electrons flow in the wire.?๐

dheerajkvsActually when u connect a wire to a source, i.e the dc source it creates the required conditions for the flow of electrons.
Electrons do not flow in a wire when it is not connected to a source. For conduction to take place a wire should be connected to a source.
Electrons to be put simply flow from a higher potential to a lower potential.
