What is the opposition to flow of current in a circuit called?
resistance
Is the continuous flow of charge in a circuit called direct current?
Direct Current
What is a break in an electrical circuit called?
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.
Describe the path of a current in a complete circuit?
An operating circuit, is by definition, complete. The electrons in a DC circuit flow from the -ve terminal of the power source, through the various components and switches etc, then to the +ve terminal of the power source.
Why must a circuit be closed in order for a current to flow?
A circuit must be closed in order for a current to flow because it helps keep a current flow pass. When the switch is closed on a circuit there is a constant flow. When the switches open the flow is disturbed around the circuit.
What type of circuit is it when the current flow is divided between the different branches?
This type of circuit is known as a parallel circuit.
The opposition to the flow of electrical current?
In a DC circuit . . . resistance. In an AC circuit . . . impedance.
What is a closed path through which current can flow?
A closed path through which a current can flow is called a circuit. Electric Circuit:)
What called the flow of electricity?
The flow of electricity is called the current. It is measured in Amps (I).Current is the flow of electrons around an electrical circuit.
What is the name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that cant flow?
The name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that can't flow is called a Closed Circuit. Electric current cannot flow through an open circuit.
What is the opposition to flow of current in a circuit called?
resistance
Why is there no effect on other branches in a parallel circuit when one branch of the circuit is opened or closed?
this is because the energy can still flow through the other branches.
Is the continuous flow of charge in a circuit called direct current?
Direct Current
How does current flow in parallel circuit?
The current branches, so that part will go through one branch of the parallel circuit, and part through the other branch. (It is also possible to have more than 2 branches.) Then it joins again.
A close path where electric current can flow is called a?
circuit
The constant flow of electrons through a complete circuit?
That is called electrical current.
Is an unbroken path through which an electric current can flow?
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
