What is a condition that provides an undesired path for electrical current?
The condition you are looking for is a short circuit.
What is a curcuit?
A circuit is the path that transmits electric current.A circuit includes a battery or a generator that gives energy to the charged particles .Circuits are classified according to the type of current they carry that is parallel circuit and series circuit.
What materials are conductors in a torch?
The conducting path of a torch is a simple circuit: Battery to switch, switch to bulb, bulb back to battery. Provided the switch is on, and there are no breaks in the circuit wiring (and the bulb is good), the torch should work.
What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current has more than one path to follow?
A circuit that has more than one path for the current to flow is a parallel circuit. The circuit must have two or more paths to be considered parallel. A circuit that has only one current path through multiple components is a series circuit.
Why does electrical current flow along a single path in a series circuit and more than one path in a parallel circuit?
Because there is only a single path in series circuit and many paths in parallel circuit.
What part of the vehicle provides this return path to the battery?
The Vehicles frame unless fiberglass then the chassis.
What is the earth wire inside a plug for?
This wire provides a low impedance return path to the distribution panel in case of a circuit fault. This direct fault current path will trip the circuit's breaker and open the circuit.
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.
The return path for the battery on a car is called what?
The ground.
What kind of circuit provides a path for current to wall sockets and appliances in a home?
parallel circuit
What is a series circuit.?
provides just one path for current flow
What is used to complete a circuit?
Source which is the battery Object which is the switch Path which is the wire
What is a electrical circuit?
An electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load". ---Nerd

What is used to make a complete circuit?
Source which is the battery Object which is the switch Path which is the wire
Is a free flowing path an example of a closed circuit?
It is a closed circuit if there is a load in the circuit (light bulb etc), otherwise it is a short circuit (+ to - on a car battery with a screwdriver)
What is the evidence that an electrical circuit is closed?
When that circuit has no breaks. It is an endless path of current flow.
