What: "When a source of electromotive force (EMF) is connect to a complete circuit, the EMF supplies the energy to create free electrons. At the same time the negative terminal is like a large bucket of electrons forcing free electrons away (like charges repel) from the negative terminal and the positive terminal attracts free electrons (opposite charges attract). The net effect is electrons flow from the negative terminal of the battery to the positive terminal."
