The current flowing out of one terminal of the power supply ... like a battery ... must
all eventually arrive at the other terminal of the power supply. If there's only a single
path between the power supply terminals, then the current is exactly the same at
every point around the path. But it doesn't matter how large the circuit is, how many
components there are, or how many ways there may be for the current to split up and
recombine on its way around. For every electron that leaves one side of the battery,
an electron returns to the other side ... exhausted and completely out of energy.
What else can I help you with?
When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, what happens to the current flow through the capacitor?
When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, the current flow through the capacitor initially increases and then decreases as the capacitor charges up.
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 to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
When a circuit is closed, meaning there is a complete path for the electric current to flow, the current will flow from the positive terminal of the voltage source through the circuit components and back to the negative terminal. This flow of current allows electrical energy to be transferred and work to be done in the circuit.
Is current constant through a circuit?
Yes, in a closed circuit, the current is constant and flows continuously through the 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 happens to current in a series circuit?
the current in series will be same..
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:)
What happens when more branches are added to a parallel circuit?
Adding more branches to a parallel circuit decreases the overall resistance of the circuit. This leads to an increase in the total current flowing through the circuit as each branch provides an additional pathway for the current to flow. This results in a decrease in the total resistance and an increase in the overall current of the 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 to the current in the series circuit?
current remains same in series while divide itself in parallel circuit
What Happens When an AC of 5A and dc current of 5A flow simultaneously through a circuit?
it will be the polarized sum of the two quantity
What happens when an electric current encounters resistance?
An electron traveling through the wires and loads of the external circuit encounters resistance.
