electricity - From where electrons flow to make a bulb light?


Suppose we have the "basic" stuff like a battery 2 piece of wire and a bulb. Battery has a potential difference. But from where electrons flow to make the bulb light? from wire or from battery or from both? also if electrons flow from battery and they go through the wire (conductor) then why in insulators this doesnt happen? insulators dont give electrons but why they dont let electrons flow?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
