Yes, there is a current flow through he return wire in a closed circuit. The only time there is no current flow through the return wire is when the circuit is open.

How we are getting such large amounts of electrons that are flowing continously from a copper in a dynamo and Is there any limit or any chance for electrons from the copper will deplete one day?

The electrons flowing from the copper in a dynamo return back to the copper through the return circuit. That is the electrons leave through the negative terminal (opposite to that of current) and re-enter through the positive terminal.

In an electric circuit the ground prevents current from flowing in the circuit true or false?

In an electric circuit, the ground does not prevent current from flowing. Instead, it provides a safe path for electrical current to return to the earth in the event of a fault. It's a protective measure to prevent electrical shock hazards by maintaining the voltage stability in the circuit. The normal operation of the circuit isn't affected by the grounding system.


Is current from a generator flows through the phase line and return through neutral to generator?

Yes, except that the correct term is 'line' conductor, not a 'phase' conductor.

What is the effect on led by increasing or decreasing current?

An LED will shine brighter as more current is pushed through it. There is a dimishing return on this - at some point, increasing current will not increase the brightness very much, and will cost significantly more in terms of power.


What is a path through which current flows?

A path through which current flows is generally called a circuit. Some might say a complete circuit to denote a "closed loop" through which electricity can leave one electrode or contact on a voltage source, travel through some conductors of some kind, and then return to the other electrode or contact on the source.
