Does electricity follow the longest path?
no. electricity seeks the shortest path with the lowest resistance. An example will be lightning. A tall building offers a lower resistance than air or even moist air in a storm. Hence, the lightning strikes the tall building more likely than it hits the ground surrounding the tall building.
What is the path electricity path?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
Why does electricity follow the path of least resisitance?
It's a natural phenomena, like water flowing down a hill.
What is the difference in an open circuit and a short circuit?
an open circuit is a circuit that does not complete the circle. an open circuit does not do the job as the electricity stands still a short circuit is a circuit that wires have crossed and the electricity takes the shortest path. and does not complete all of the points on the circuit
The shortest path from a starting point to an endpoint regardless of the path taken is called the?
resultant displacement
What path will electricity always take?
The Shortest Path
What is the shortest path called which electricity takes?
Path of Least Resistance.
Light and electricity follows the path of?
Light and electricity follow the path of least resistance.
What path does electricity follow through a circuit?
The path with the lowest resistance.
Why des electricity need to follow a path?
Electricity is the flow of electrons.Hence it requires a path containing free electrons in order to flow.
Does electricity follow the longest path?
no. electricity seeks the shortest path with the lowest resistance. An example will be lightning. A tall building offers a lower resistance than air or even moist air in a storm. Hence, the lightning strikes the tall building more likely than it hits the ground surrounding the tall building.
What is the path that electricity follow?
An electric current flows from negative to positive.
Difference between shortest path and alternate path?
difference between shortest path and alternate path
What month does the sun follow the shortest path across the sky?
If you're in the Northern Hemisphere, then the month is December.
An electrical circuit in which the electricity only has one path to follow is called?
series circuit
What is the broken path through which electricity passes?
just follow the yellow brick road
What was the shortest path of a tornado?
The shortest tornado path on record was 7 feet long.
