Electric current and electrical potential is an abstract topic that students find great difficulty in understanding. This paper presents a teaching strategy aimed at facilitating the learner in developing a useful mechanistic mental model of the nature of simple electric circuits. The model is not at the highest level required of a graduate physicist but should be appropriate to students reaching a good secondary education level.
