What is household circuits?
household circuit are those circuit which are used in our house like electric board etc.
If a copper wire in a working electric circuit is replaced by a piece of rubber tubing will there be a current in a circuit?
no rubber stops the flow of electricity
If a copper wire in a working electric circuit is replaced by a piece of rubber tubing will there be a current in the circuit?
no rubber stops the flow of electricity
What could be a source of resistance in a household electric circuit?
Heat
The pathway taken by an electric current is a?
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.)
What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What is the history of the electric circuit?
the history of the electric circuit is that the person who made it his name is jack kilby but the history is that the electric circuit was one of the easiest way was to make the electric circuit when the electricity went out. THE END
How can you make the electric circuit?
Anything with a voltage power source, connecting wire and a load is an electric circuit. Hence if you have a flashlight you have an electric circuit.
Is it true or false that a circuit breaker must be replaced after a short circuit occurs?
A circuit breaker must be reset to ON after a short circuit but does not need to be replaced. It depends on the type of CB. A fuse is also a circuit breaker and it needs to be replaced after a short circuit. Relayed circuit breakers have to be "picked up" after a dropout and need not be replaced as such.
Closed path where electric current can flow is called a?
I guess Electric Circuit....
Can a circuit breaker on my 1992 grand prix cause my headlights to stay on?
No. A circuit breaker is like a fuse, it protects a circuit from a catastrophe if a dead short should occur.
Impedience of electric circuit?
The impedance of an electric circuit is the measure of the opposition presented by a circuit when the current and voltage is applied.
