What is a path formed by the conductors for electrons?
That path might be called a circuit. If the path is complete, it's a closed circuit.
What is the main purpose of the grounding pin on a three prong plug for an appliance?
Mainly to prevent electrical shocks to the user of the appliance. Also helps keep the appliance from being damaged. <><><> The purpose of the grounding pin or prong is to connect the metal casing and any metal parts inside the appliance straight back to ground independently to the neutral wire. Then, if ever the metal casing or any metal parts inside the appliance become electrically "hot" or "live" because of an equipment failure, accidental damage - or some other cause of a malfunction - the direct path back to ground will in effect produce an immediate short circuit that will make the fuse or circuit breaker, that is protecting the circuit supplying current to the appliance, to operate to break the supply of current. By doing so, it helps to prevent electrical shocks to the user of the appliance. For more information see the answer to the Related Question shown below.
What do we call a complete unbroken path for electrons to allow?
A continuous unbroken path of electrons is a closed circuit. If there is an opening, then it is an open circuit.
A circuit that has 2 objects connected in a single path is a what?
a series circuit
What is a continuous path along which electricity flows is known as an electric what?
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 Difference between circuit and parallel circuit?
A series circuit is one in which the current must pass through all the electrical devices in the circuit in turn. A parallel circuit is one in which the current passes through each electrical device on the circuit following separate, independent path from all other devices on the circuit, one for each electrical device.
What will happen to the appliance if there is a short circuit to the cable supplying it?
Electricity takes the path of least resistance - That is to say most of the electricity takes the path of least resistance.In this case the short circuit will have an incredibly low resistance, and the vast majority of the electricity will bypass your appliance, causing no damage (to the appliance) at all. However where the short circuit occurs on the cable one will find burning marks and heat damage, perhaps even part of the metal has been vaporised leaving a hole or melting mark on the metal of the wire itself.There is also a very good chance the fuse will break inside the plug top and that circuit breakers* will trip in your board.*Breakers because the fault current may be large enough in a short circuit to trip your main circuit breaker and not just the breaker for the circuit the appliance is plugged into, this however is rare.
How many parts can currents take in series and parallel circuits?
Series circuit: one path. Parallel circuit: One path for each branch (two or more).
What is the difference between a serious and parallel circuit?
The difference is that the serious circuit has just one path, but the parallel has many paths for each thing.
A closed path through which electrons can flow is?
A closed path through which electrons flow is known as a circuit.
What is a path formed by the conductors for electrons?
That path might be called a circuit. If the path is complete, it's a closed circuit.
What do you call the path electricity takes?
The electrical path is termed an electrical circuit.
What is the term used for a circuit path that is shorter than its intended path?
short circuit
A path that electricity can move through is called?
the complete path that electricity can move through is called
What is the path electricity path?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
What is the circuit with a single path?
Series circuit
What is a circuit with a single path?
