The idea
What is Demand and supply?
Demand and supply are the two forces that set prices in a market. Demand is the quantity of a good buyers are willing and able to purchase at each price, rising as price falls, giving a downward-sloping curve; supply is the quantity sellers offer at each price, rising with price. Where the curves cross is the equilibrium price and quantity. Changes in income, tastes, costs or technology shift a whole curve, moving the equilibrium; a price change alone moves along a curve.
Where it appears: Class 11-12 CBSE Economics, ICSE and ISC, IGCSE and A Level Economics, IB Economics, UPSC prelims, CUET.
Where learners get stuck
Why Demand and supply is hard
Learners confuse a movement along a curve (caused by price) with a shift of the curve (caused by anything else), and cannot say which curve shifts when, say, a drought hits or incomes rise.
The picture a good explanation starts with: A graph with price on the vertical axis and quantity on the horizontal, a downward demand curve and upward supply curve crossing at equilibrium, then the demand curve shifting right.
