    Answer

    D) A voltage causes electric charges to move from higher to lower potential.

    Explanation

    Current is the rate of flow of charges. When charges start flowing we say that current is flowing.

    Current moves from a region of higher potential to a region of low potential.

    For the charges to move they are made possible by the energy from the cells called voltage.

    D) A voltage causes electric charges to move from higher to lower potential.

    D. The current in the battery and in each resistor is the same.

    If we have two or more components in series, the current that flows through each of them is the same.

    Thus, the battery generates the current, and since there must be conservation of electric charge, no current can be lost through the resistors.
