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.
What part of a circuit allows or stops flowing of electricity?
Battery
What is the scientific name for something that stops the flow of electricity?
switch...this break the flow of electricity, from a circuit
What part of a circuit allows or stops the flow of electricity?
Battery
What protects equipment from too much current by tripping a switch that breaks the circuit and stops the flow of electricity?
Circuit Breaker
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.
What device used to stop and start the flow of electricity in a circuit is a?
A switch is a device that stops and starts current flow in a circuit.
Why is an electrical circuit made of materials that are conductor?
"Electrical circuit". "Electrical" meaning "electricity". "Circuit" meaning "around from the start back to the starting place". If any of the materials in that circuit path are not conductors, there is no circuit. The electricity only goes that far and stops. So all materials in the circuit must be able to conduct 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
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
What stops the flow of electricity by switching off the current if it gets too high?
what switches a current of electricity if it gets to high is that it overloads a system (which is called a surge (if sudden)) also if you do it manually it is the disruption in the circuit that stops the flow of electricity entirely.
Why doesn't the bulb light when one wire was loosen?
B/c electricity relies on there being a complete circuit for things to work. Break the circuit/loop, and the flow of electricity stops, and the light goes out.
