What happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?

In a series circuit, if the current is broken the flow of all electricity stops.


How does series circuit travel?

The electricity follows the entire length of the wire. if any part of the circuit is broken, all the electricity stops moving in the circuit.


How are parallel circuit lights better than series circuit lights using science facts?

In a parallel circuit, there are multiple paths for electricity to flow. So, if one switch is turned off there is still other paths for electricity to flow so the other lights can remain on. However, in a series circuit there is only one path for the electricity to travel. So, if the switch in a series circuit was turned off the electricity would stop flowing causing all the lights to go out.


Is it possible to generate electricity from rainwater in a downspout with small turbine's in a series and store the energy?

Yes, this would be a simple hydroelectric machine and the electricity generated could be stored in a battery


Is cardboard a good conductor of electricity?

Cardboard is an insulator of electricity. It is not the best insulator to use for this as cardboard can be affected by moisture and any corrosion of nearby batteries. If it becomes wet with an electrolyte solution (such as salt water), it could become a conductor under certain conditions.To test this, put a battery and a light in series and leave the contacts open between the light and the battery. Then touch the wire to the cardboard and the cardboard to the battery. The light will not light up.

Which nonmetal shows metallic conduction?

I dont know if you mean elements or compounds. If you mean both, there are a group of organic compounds called conducting polymers that conduct electricity through a series of double and single bonds. Read more on Polypyyrole, polyaniline, polythiophene etc if interested


Why metals are metals?

metals are defined by the way they interact and bond with other chemicals. a series of metallic bonds (lump of metal) has many free electrons that float around and enable many properties that are well known in metal. they conduct heat and electricity, and malleable and ductile and are strong.


What happens if the track of the current is broken in a series circuit?

In a series circuit, if the current is broken the flow of all electricity stops.
