Does a broken circuit still let power through it?
No
How can a broken wire affect a series circuit differently than a parallel circuit?
In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit. Any break will totally remove power from all of the circuit.Parallel circuits have more than one branch where the current can flow. A broken wire will only affect one part, the rest of the circuit will still pass current.In a series circuit, all the current passes through the one circuit.

What is the effect if a bulb is broken in a parallel or series circuit?
parallel circuit: Providing that the breakage does not result in a short circuit the other bulbs will still light. series circuit: If the breakage results in a short circuit through the bulb the other bulbs will light more brightly. If the breakage results in a breakage of the connection through the bulb then the other bulbs will not light.
What happens when a switch circuit is opened?
When a switch is closed the path through the circuit is continuous.
Why is there no effect on other branches in a parallel circuit when one branch of the circuit is opened or closed?
this is because the energy can still flow through the other branches.
If there are 2 points with different potential energy will there still be an electrical current through the circuit?
Not necessarily. The two points with potential difference, will have to be connected via a conductor, for current to flow.Provided that a circuit exists, then current WILL flow.
If the filament of the bulb is broken would the circuit be complete?
If the bulb's filament is broken, the whole circuit becomes open. If the bulb is in a series circuit or is the only bulb, the electricity would no longer flow. If the bulb is in a parallel circuit, along with other bulbs, then only the blown bulb would go out, and the other bulbs would still work.
Does the bulb light up in a parallel circuit?
The bulb will shine as long as it is still part of a complete circuit. You probably have a diagram for such a circuit. See if you can still trace a path through the battery and one of the bulbs without passing through the other bulb. For comparison, try the same thing with a diagram of a series circuit.
Is Circuit City still open in the USA?
Circuit City is no longer open in the United States. They announced their closing a few years back. However, you are still able to purchase through them online.
What are 2 types a circuits?
There are two types of circuits: series, and parallel. In a series circuit, electricity flows through all components of the circuit in a series. This means it flows from the power source, through all the components as a whole, then back to the source. A parallel circuit, on the other hand has the electricity flow through the components separately. Power flows from the source to each individual component individually, then back to the source. In a series circuit, if one component is missing or broken, the circuit will not function. With a parallel circuit, on the other hand, if a part is missing, or broken, all the other components will still work.
Why does a circuit stop working when you remove the battery?
The battery is the power source of the circuit. It supplies current to the circuit and the circuit is simply a path for the current to follow. When you remove the current (battery), the path still exists but there is no current going through it.
How is energy released during glycolysis?
As glucose is broken down, some energy is captured by substrate-level phosphorylation, some energy is captured by the reduction of NAD+, but most of the energy is still in the end product, Pyruvate.
