Braylon Graves · Answer 1

So we want to know which answer best describes the flow of electric charge. So the flow of electric charge is when the charge is moving from a higher potential energy to a lower potential energy which would be analogous to the rock rolling down hill. So first answer is correct.

Answer : Option A) Higher potential to lower potential.

Explanation : An electric current can be defined as a flow of electric charge. In electric circuits this charge is often carried by moving electrons in a wire which are in opposite direction of current. The charge is often flowing from the higher potential to lower potential energy.
