The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
Electric circuits with 2 terminals can be arranged in "series" or in "parallel". This applies to all 2-terminal circuits - including fundamental components such as resistors, capacitors, or inductors. The term "series" means that an electrical path in an existing circuit is broken and the circuit is connected to the 2 terminals of the break. The term "parallel" means that the electric circuit is connected between 2 existing terminals or nodes of the existing circuit.
A direct current is obtained from a connection to a battery.
The circuit won't do anything until both terminals of the battery are connected to the correct [two different] points in the circuit. As long as either terminal of the battery remains disconnected, the circuit is "OFF".
to form an electric circuit two terminals are required it is being closed and electric current passes through it .
Real-world batteries do not have zero internal resistance. When one connects a load (resistance) to a battery, current begins to flow and the open-circuit potential is divided between the battery's internal resistance and the resistance of the load. Thus, one will measure a lower voltage at the battery terminals when a load is connected, compared to no-load conditions.
The positive terminal of the battery would be connected to the positive terminal of the ammeter. The load would then be connected between the two negative terminals, positive side of the load being connected to the negative side of the ammeter.
The current depends on what is connected to the battery's terminals. If nothing is connected to it, then there is no current, and the battery lasts quite a while. In general, the current is 1.5/resistance of the external circuit connected to the battery until that number gets too big, and then the voltage of the battery sags, because it can't deliver that much current.
That completely depends on how much current is used by the circuit or device that's connected to the battery. For example, if there is no circuit or device connected to the battery, and no current is used, then the battery lasts for quite a long time. But if you lay a screwdriver across the battery terminals and create great balls of fire, then the charge on the battery may only last for 1/2 second.
