A black line connects the right end of the battery to the left end by making a series of straight lines to form a rectangular box with the battery as part of the bottom side.
What causes the electric charges to flow from one end of the battery to the other?
A. a balance in electric potential
B. a balance in resistance
C. a difference in electric potential
D. a difference in resistance
