Electric current can flow through a continuous path which can also be described as a closed circuit. Conversely, any break or opening in a circuit is called an open circuit. Charges can only flow through a closed circuit.

What is the continuous loop that an electric current flows through?
DC = direct current.
What part of electric fire gets hot when electricity flows though it?
I'm not sure but i think its the coils of wire
How does it eletricity flow?
Electricity flows through a circuit. There has to be a conductor that will pass the electric current from one point to another.
Why you get electric shock when current flows opposite direction in a conductor?
When current flows in a conductor you do not get an electric shock provided you do not touch the conductor.
Is lightning a high-voltage electric current?
Yes, the clouds become electrically charged and when there is excessive charge there is a big spark. The charge produces an electric field in the space under it, and when the field is high enough the gas atoms in the air break down, electrons are stripped off them and there is a plasma which conducts electricity. The charge in the cloud flows to join opposite charges on the ground. When charge flows there is an electric current.
What is the path that electricity follow?
An electric current flows from negative to positive.
What gives out a light if an electric current flows through it?
A light bulb in an electric circuit when electricity reaches it.
What kind of electricity that flows through the electric flat iron?
Alternating current flows through a flat iron.
What is the continuous loop that an electric current flows through?
DC = direct current.
Do electric power lines have any magnet properties?
Anytime electricity flows it creates a magnetic field
What part of electric fire gets hot when electricity flows though it?

How does it eletricity flow?
Electricity flows through a circuit. There has to be a conductor that will pass the electric current from one point to another.
Static electricity is defined as?
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material.The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge.Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy
Does electricity flow through wires?
Electric current flows through wires, but to transmit electric power you need two wires with a voltage between them, connected to a power source.
How is the electricity like a river?
Electric current flows like water in a river flows. If the river is deep, there is greater current but slower. If the river is shallow, the current is faster, but the volume of water is greater. The same analogies can be used with electricity.
How do you make magnisim using electricity i dont know?
When electric current flows through a wire, a magnetic field is created around the wire.
What happens to the energy when you turn on an electric lamp?
Electricity flows through the filament, resistance in the filament causes heat and light energy to be created.
