How amount of electrical current that can flow through a circuit depends on what?

The potential difference (voltage) between the ends of the branch, and the
resistance of the branch.
In a simple parallel circuit, the voltage is usually the full power supply, so the
main thing to note is that none of the other parallel branches has any influence
on the current through the parallel branch of interest.

Ohm's Law as it relates to this question: I=E/R, where I=current, E=voltage, R=resistance.
If you use the formula for a few test numbers, you see that as resistance goes up, current goes down (and vice versa), as long as voltage is constant.

The constant flow of electrons through a complete circuit?
That is called electrical current.
Is it possible for a human to close an electrical circuit. Will the electricity go through him or is that not a closed circuit?
Yes, and yes. If electrical current flows through him, then he is part of a closed circuit. If the current is greater than some threshold amount, and it flows through certain specific parts of the body, then the result is the phenomenon known as "electrocution". It isn't pretty.
What is the flow of an electrical current in a circuit outside the power source?
Usually a circuit is connected to a power source, which could be a battery or an outlet. When this happens current flows through the circuit. The power supply raises electrical charges through the required potential difference, and then in the circuit the charges flow down the potential gradient giving up their energy.
Describe the relationship of the parts of an electrical current?
I assume you mean Voltage, Current and Resistance. Voltage (E)or electromagnetic force is the electrical pressure or force that forces the electrons through any given circuit Current (I)is the flow of those electrons through any given circuit Resistance (R) is anything within the circuit that would restrict the flow of electrons
What is an electrical circit?
The path through which a current flows is called a circuita electrical line that voltage runs through
What electrical current flows through electrical home devices?
The electrical current for a home device travels in a circuit.
What is a closed path through which current can flow?
A closed path through which a current can flow is called a circuit. Electric Circuit:)
What flows through an electric circuit?
An electrical current.
When a switch in an electrical circuit is turned off what will happen?
Closing a switch in an electrical circuit will complete the circuit. The supply voltage will then be applied to that circuit, and current will flow through that circuit.
Will an electrical current move through an open circuit or a closed circuit?
electricity
What constitutes a complete electrical circuit?
A complete electrical circuit occurs when it is possible for electrical current to flow through the electrical devices in it.
What kind of circuit allows a current to flow through?
Any complete circuit. ==== An electrical circuit.
How are electrical current and circuits related?
Electrical currents require a circuit to flow. If the circuit is broken, then the electrical current will not flow. A switch is a prime example of this principle. When a switch is off, the circuit is broken. However, when it is turned, the circuit is completed and allows for the electrical current to flow through the appliance.
The constant flow of electrons through a complete circuit?
That is called electrical current.
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 is a single path for electric current to flow through?
is called an electrical circuit
What is resistance do in a circuit?
lowers the amt of electrical current flowing through it.
