1. heat. If it's hot enough, blackbody radiation (e.g. incandescent light bulb)

2. Electromagnetic radiation (radio waves, magnetic or electric coupling to adjacent conductors) if the current is changing.

They don't lose their energy. Free electrons pass the current through the conductor, but don't move far themselves, and are still there when the current is switched off, waiting for the next switch on.

the electrons are current carrier which flow from negative to positive potential. This makes the flow of current . the direction of currents is opposite to direction of electron flow .Hence any circuit can be operate by using electrons or respective charge carrier it may be hole. (current flow).

Electrons are pushed by what is known technically as electromotive force; this can be measured in volts.

The load that is connected in a circuit is what does the work in the circuit.


If a circuit had a gap in it would it work?

Nope... if the circuit has a gap in it - the path of electrons is interrupted, and that would stop the circuit from working.


What does a switch do in its circuit?

A switch allows the circuit to have a break in it therefor making it not work. It stops the flow of electrons.

What is a electrical circuit?

An electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load". ---Nerd


How do circuits work?

Circuits need 3 things to work. They need a load, (what the power goes on) power source, (the battery) and connectors (the wire inbetween). Circuits use electrons to flow from the negative side of the battery and around the circuit back to the battery. This repeats until the circuit breaks.


How do circuit breakers keep the wire in an electrical circuit from overheating?

They reduce the flow of electrons.


Is true if there is voltage in circuit there must be electrons flowing through the circuit.?

No. For electrons to flow, you need a current.
