What happens to the electromagnet when the circuit is closed?

An electromagnet if formed by pushing current through a coil. If the circuit is truly open, current will cease to flow, thus no electromagnet.


What happens when an electric current encounters resistance?

An electron traveling through the wires and loads of the external circuit encounters resistance.


What happens as a current flows through a parallel circuit?

if the circuit is a series circuit (all loads wired in a single line , one after the other ) then the current will be the same in any part of the circuit . if there are several different paths for the current to take , then each path will carry a different percentage of the total current . when each of these different current values are added together , they will equal the total supplied current.


In a parallel ac circuit is the current additive?

Yes In parallel circuit , current entering into the circuit will be divided intodifferent paths ( resistances) . Amount of current flow depends upon the magnitude of resistance applied in the circuit. Total current after passing through the circuit will be the sum of all current through each resistance.


Why does not it matter where you measure the current in a simple circuit?

The current measured at any point in a simple circuit will be the same because current is the measure of electron flow through a circuit. The current flowing through any branch of any circuit (or an entire simple circuit) will always be the same at any point.

What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?

If the circuit is closed the electric current will be closed as well.

What happens when a battery is hooked up to an open circuit?

nothings because they is no wire connected to the circuit so no current can flow through


What happens to a circuit if the resistances is increased?

The voltage drop across each resistance will go up, and the current through the circuit will go down.


Does current in the lamps occur simultaneously or does charge flow first through one lamp then the other and finally the last in turn?

Currents are either flowing or they are not. However these lamps are hooked up, series or parallel, the minute current starts flowing through a circuit it is moving throughout the entire circuit.


What happens when one bulb is added to a series circuit?

The resistance is increased, the voltage across each bulb is decreased and the current through the circuit is reduced.


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:)


Why is it that the current flowing through a parallel circuit is the different in all parts of the circuit?

Because there is many path for flowing current through circuit.


What is the continuous loop that an electric current flows through?

DC = direct current.


What flows through a complete circuit?

Current flows through a complete circuit.


What happens when you open a switch in a series crcuit?

A closed series circuit is one where the current flows through all devices in the circuit. Opening a switch prevents current from flowing in the circuit and it becomes simply an "open circuit". Any device that operates with current (light, LED, motor, etc) will no longer function.


What happens when an electric current encounters resistance?

An electron traveling through the wires and loads of the external circuit encounters resistance.
