How can you stop the flow of the current around a circurt?
Open the circuit with a switch or contacts.
What causes an elecrtic current to flow in a circuit?
The movement of electron towards the high potential causes electric current to flow in a circuit.
A switch is a device that stops and starts current flow in a circuit?
Yes, a switch is a device that stops and starts current flow in a circuit.
What electrical quantity is the same throughout a series circuit?
In any series circuit, there is one and only one path for current flow. All the current flowing in the circuit will flow through all of the devices in that circuit. A break at any point in the circuit will cause current flow to cease. Lastly, it is current that is the same at any point in the circuit where we'd care to measure it.
What is a circuit where there is a single pathway for current?
Well, if your speaking very basically, a series circuit will have only 1 route to flow, and that's around the entire series circuit. Current leaves the source, and returns to the source, around a single path. If in doubt with electronics theory, remember this analogy. Electricity is like water in a pipe Voltage= Water pressure (Not directional, doesnt flow in a linear sense) Current= Rate of water flow (Wider pipes, more current! Resistor's are like kinks in a pipe, limiting flow. This is expressed in Ohm's Law as I=V/R. As R increases, current decreases)
What is the flow of electrons around a circuit?
current :))))
Why must a circuit be closed in order for a current to flow?
A circuit must be closed in order for a current to flow because it helps keep a current flow pass. When the switch is closed on a circuit there is a constant flow. When the switches open the flow is disturbed around the circuit.
Why must a circuit be closed in order for current to a flow?
A circuit must be closed in order for a current to flow because it helps keep a current flow pass. When the switch is closed on a circuit there is a constant flow. When the switches open the flow is disturbed around the circuit.
What called the flow of electricity?
The flow of electricity is called the current. It is measured in Amps (I).Current is the flow of electrons around an electrical circuit.
What constitutes a complete circuit?
Where the current can flow around completely, without being interrupted by a break in the circuit.
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.
How can you stop the flow of the current around a circurt?
Open the circuit with a switch or contacts.
The opposition to the flow of electrical current?
In a DC circuit . . . resistance. In an AC circuit . . . impedance.
What does a load do to the flow of electrical current in a series circuit?
A load increases the flow of electrical current in a series circuit. No load, no flow.
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 is the name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that cant flow?
The name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that can't flow is called a Closed Circuit. Electric current cannot flow through an open circuit.
What is needed for electricity to flow?
current - caused by protons (+) and neutrons (-) flowing around a circuit
