The pathway taken by an electric current is a?
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
What produces electricity by spinning a magnet in a coil of wire?
A generator or alternator. If the magnetic field is permanent, the current produced from the coil will be alternating current. AC. Alternators usually work the other way round. The magnet is spun inside a coil of wire. The power is taken off from the stator. The rotor is an electromagnet, fed via slip rings on the shaft. The strength of the magnet can be varied and controlled externally, to control the output voltage.
Which way do charges flow?
This answer depends on who you are asking some people say it flows from negative to positive and others say its the other way around but really it doesn't matter that much because normal 60Hz AC changed direction 60 times a sec
Who discovered that magnetic phenomena can be produced by electric effects?
This was Hans Christian Ørsted. April 1820 - Copenhagen. He found that a compass needle could be deflected (it moved) if a current was switched on or off in a nearby conductor. This was the first demonstrated link between electricity and magnetism, later taken up in detail by Michael Faraday. Oersted did not develop his experiment into an electric motor, though it is the basic idea on which all motors work - the interaction of an electric current with a magnet (usually in modern motors an electromagnet of some kind) to produce a force, and thus a movement.
Which property measures the space taken up by an object?
The space taken up by an object is called volume.
The pathway taken by an electric current is a?

Is a circuit the pathway taken by electric current?
Yes the circuit needs to have no breaks or have the switch open to let the electrons pass through.
How many outlet for ELECTRIC circuit in a house?
As many as you like but the total current taken is limited by the circuit breakers.
Why does the electric current decrease when an additional bulb is added to the circuit in series?
becase the electricity is taken by both bulbs and it is divided
Number of electrons flowing pass one point?
The passing charges is called, "Current", and the rate of those charges is measured in "Amperes", capitalized because the word is taken from a person's name. The common electrical units are: Electromotive Force, or EMF. Measured in Volts. Current. Measured in Amperes. Resistance. Measured in ohms.
When there is a difference in voltage the flow of charge is called?
flow of charge is called current. but the direction of flow of current is always taken oppsite to the flow of charge.
What is the pathway taken by the fatus during parturition?
in dukes butt cuz that's how he like it
What is a magnetic created when electric current flows through a coil of wire?
Nothing is ever created, however, Electricity is INDUCED. The process is interchangeable, so if you pass a current through the wire you have a magnetic field (electromagnetism)lol.-originalposter- When you pass a magnet through a coil of wire, you induce an electric current. Also, if you move the coil instead you get the same result.-norman
How many voltage taken to electric train?
25000v
What is between electricity and magnetism?
Naturally it is found that protons within nucleus possess positive charge and electrons around the nucleus has negative charge. But the magnitude is the same. In an atom in general equal number of protons and electrons keep it as neutral one. If one or two electrons are removed then it becomes a positive ion. Same way if excess electrons stick on with neutral then it becomes a negative ion. As ions flow then it is taken as flow of electric current. Conventionally only direction of positve is taken as current direction. But in case of a metal only loosely bound electrons would move from higher negative to lower negative potential. So electron flow is opposite to our conventional current flow. Now space has electric and magnetic property as an inherent one. So as electric current flows then magnetism is produced around the current carrying conductor. Beauty of nature: When a charge is stationary then electric field is around it As electric charge flows uniformly then magnetic field is produced along with moving electric field. Now as electric charge moves with acceleration or deceleration then electro magnetic disturbance is produced in the space and it is named as electromagnetic waves
How much current can be taken by the human being?
...Before what? He/she cannot let go of an object, he/she turns from rare to well done in x seconds? A google search for "Quantitative Effects of Electric Current on Man" will bring up a pdf showing some values you might be interested in.
How do voltage and current and restistance all link together?
According to ohm's law, voltage in a circuit is directly proportional to current in the circuit and when that proportionality sign is taken off to equals to, a constant is introduced with current and is called resistance. Therefore Voltage in a circuit equals to product of current and resistance in that circuit.
