Electricity travels from low to high potential because of the movement of charged particles (primarily electrons) from an area of lower electric potential energy to an area of higher electric potential energy. This movement of charged particles is known as electric current.
In an electric circuit, the movement of charged particles is driven by the electric potential difference (voltage) between two points. The voltage difference between two points is the amount of electric potential energy per unit of charge required to move a charged particle from one point to the other. The voltage difference is usually measured in volts (V).
The direction of electric current is determined by the direction of the voltage difference. If the voltage at one point is higher than the voltage at another point, then electricity will flow from the point with the lower voltage to the point with the higher voltage. This is because charged particles will naturally move from a lower energy state to a higher energy state, and electric potential energy is a measure of the energy possessed by a charged particle due to its position in an electric field.
In your paper, you can expand on these ideas and provide examples to illustrate how electricity travels from low to high potential in electric circuits. You could also discuss the implications of this phenomenon in practical applications, such as in the operation of electrical devices and in the distribution of electricity.
