| Keywords: Electric load animation.gif resistor light bulb electric motor or other passive electrical device The electric current flows into the positive terminal and out of the negative terminal The charges move under the influence of the electric field E in the direction of lower electric potential voltage The charges perform work on the component and lose potential energy color Therefore electric power p > 0 flows out of the circuit and into the component yellow arrows <br /><br /> This contrasts with an active device an electric power source such as a electric generator or battery In an active device the current is forced to flow into the negative terminal and out of the positive terminal in the direction of increasing electric potential Therefore work is done on the charges they gain potential energy and electric power flows out of the component into the circuit A companion source animation is located at Electric power source animation gif 2013-11-05 own Chetvorno cc-zero Uploaded with UploadWizard Negative resistance Electrical power conversion diagrams Animated GIF Resistor schemas Electric potential | ||||
