What is the relationship between the supply and demand of a product in a market?

Demand refers to the quantity which the consumer is willing to buy at the prevailing price and supply refers to the quantity which the producer is willing to sell at the current price. There is a negative relation between demand and price of a commodity while the in case of supply, price is directly related to the supply of a commodity.
