What electrical current flows through electrical home devices?
The electrical current for a home device travels in a circuit.
What flows through a complete circuit?
Current flows through a complete circuit.
Is a circuit Protection device made from special metals that shut off a switch if too much current flows through a circuit and there is a risk of overloading or overheating the circuit?
The (only) protection device which works like that is a fuse. It is simply a short length of metal which melts when too much current flows through it.
True or false The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual parallel sub-circuit?
True
What is the continuous loop that an electric current flows through?
DC = direct current.
What flows through an electric circuit?
An electrical current.
What is a path through which electric current flows?
"circuit"
What is the electric circuit where current flows through all parts of the circuit?
complex circuit
IF you want to stop a current flow through a device device three in the circuit which one of the following single switches should you open?
If you want to stop the current flow through Device 3 in the circuit, the switch that should be open is Switch S5. When an electric current flows through a long conductor, each free electron moves through a relatively short distance.
The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual resistor connected in series?
True
Do You measure current across a circuit?
A current flows through, not across, a circuit. And, yes, you can measure it using an ammeter.
Is somthing that flows through an electric circuit an eletrical current?
Yes. Current consists of electrons flowing in a circuit.
