What is the name of a circuit which has only one loop of wire?

There are none. Electrons must flow from the source, through the circuit, and back to the source or they don't move. There are conductors other than wire, however. Best example is a car. You supply power to all the equipment in a car through wires and return the current through the car's frame. The word 'circuit' means circle and is used with electricity for this very reason.


What do you call a circuit that has only one path?

The simplest circuit is a single loop of components connected in series; that is, the components are connected head to tail, with the first and last components connected to close the loop and complete the circuit. See the nearby link for the most rudimentary series circuit imaginable.


How does a loop antenna work?

There are two types of loop antenna used in radio, small and large. It is a loop of wire usually circular or square with the circuit (transmitter or receiver) connected at the two adjacent open ends. A large loop is one wavelength in circumference and radiates a wave along the axis of the loop. It can also be thought of as a folded half-wave dipole. A small loop also known as a magnetic loop is one tenth of a wavelength or less in circumference and radiates in the plane of the loop. Used as a receiver, a small loop gives an output signal voltage proportional to the magnetic component of the arriving radio wave. Small loops for receiving can be made from a coil of wire on a ferrite rod, and this type of loop is also called a loopstick antenna. Intermediate-sized loops have a rather unpredictable pattern so tend not be used.


What is it called when a circuit that has only one path?

Electricity flows where there is a potential difference and some means of discharging that difference. A circuit is the loop of the thing causing the potential difference and the components that allow it to discharge. What seems to be confusing you is that the power source isn't always included in a circuit diagram. If you think in terms of a lighting circuit, the light comes on when the switch is closed. The part of the circuit inside your house only has the mains supply, some power switchgear, the light switch and the light. However, the circuit continues back through the supply cables to the generating station. Break the circuit at any point, in your house, under the street or a wire in the generator, and out goes the light.


What effect will moving a piece of plastic through a loop of wire have?

If the plastic is too close to one side of the loop, there is the possibility of cutting the wire. This occurrence depends on the size and composition of the wire, as well as the shape, composition, and relative velocity of the plastic, so is not a certainty. Other than that, and the fact that the final position of the plastic is on the side of the loop opposite to its initial position, there is no predictable effect.

How can one close an open circuit?

One can close an open circuit by adding a complete loop of wire. This will allow the electricity to flow through the circuit, while electricity will not flow in an open circuit.

What are the advantage to a parallel circuit?

If one wire was to break only one of the bulbs on the circuit would stop working whereas if one wire broke on a series circuit all the bulbs would stop working.

Why doesn't the bulb light when one wire was loosen?

B/c electricity relies on there being a complete circuit for things to work. Break the circuit/loop, and the flow of electricity stops, and the light goes out.


what Type of circuit is one in which all loads are connected in one single loop?

series circuit


What type of circuit is one in which all loads are connected in a single loop-?

That is described as a circuit in series, as opposed to a circuit in parallel, in which there is more than one loop.


Why are two wires used to allow electric current to flow instead of a single one?

Because the current must always travel in a complete loop, going through the circuit and returning to the supply. A current can't travel along only one wire so no power would get to the circuit unless it has two wires.


How the circuit work?

An electrical circuit must be complete i.e it must form a closed loop,for it to work. Current only flow if the circuit is complete. A complete circuit is one that consist of a Voltage source, a consumer like a bulb and conductors. The conductor then connects the consumer and the voltage source together forming a closed loop.
