In a series circuit, then yes, there is only one pathway. For example: if one bulb fuses, all the bulbs in the serial circuit will go out. But there are more pathways in a parallel circuit. For example: if one bulb fuses, all the other bulbs in the parallel circuit will still light.

What is current flowing in One Direction?
There is two types of current. Direct current and alternant current. The one running in only one direction is Direct current.
What is a current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction called?
A Direct Current or DC direct current is a current consisting of charges that flow only in one direction.
Why current density is vector quantity?
Current is not scalar. Current is a vector quantity. For simplicity, in electric circuits, current is scalar because the direction is assumed to be one way or another, rather than three dimensional.
Does the ear drum have an electric current?
Actually your eardrum does not have electric current and in which it only uses sound so if you get an electric shock it does not harm your ear drums.
What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
If the circuit is closed the electric current will be closed as well.
Direct current an electric current flowing in one direction only?
This is known as DC. Direct Current.
What is direct current stand for?
Direct current (DC) is nothing but an electric current flowing only in one direction.
What is the input output of rectifier?
Current flowing in only one direction.
What is current flowing in One Direction?
There is two types of current. Direct current and alternant current. The one running in only one direction is Direct current.
What is an electric current only going in one direction?
dc
What are the 2 types of electrical current called?
Alternating Current which reverses its direction regularly at certain intervals Direct Current flowing continuously in one direction only
What is difference between diode and led?
They both only allow current in one direction, but the LED emits light when current is flowing.
Is an electromagnet created by electricity?
Yes. Electromagnets are named only because magnetism is caused because of electric current flowing through.
Why do batteries only supply direct current?
The nature of the chemical reactions taking place in a battery cause electric current to flow only in one direction.
Energy carried by current?
For DC: power (in watts) = current (in ampere) x voltage (in volts). Energy = power x time, so energy = current x voltage x time (time in seconds). For AC, a power factor may have to be included (the cosine of the angular displacement between current and voltage). This is often near one, but it may be less.
What is the difference between altenating current and direct current?
The current (or electrons if you will {but thought of as flowing in the opposite direction} in a DC circuit flows only in one direction. In an AC circuit the current periodically flows in the opposite direction (in the US this usually happens 120 times a second, so 60 cycles per second.)
How electric current flows in a circuit?
There is a potential difference (voltage) between two points and a path for electrons to travel from an area of low potential (negative) to an area of high potential (positive). Note the direction of "current flow" is opposite the direction of electron flow. In other words current flows from positive to negative. In a circuit involving only a resistor, the current flowing in the circuit is given by I=V/R where I = current, V= voltage, and R=resistance.
