Such a circuit either has no voltage source, or some part of the circuit is open, e.g., an open switch.

Is current constant through a circuit?

Yes, in a closed circuit, the current is constant and flows continuously through the circuit.


How current passes through resistor.?

What is the current running through resistor four?1 amps..!What is the current running through resistor one? 3 amps...!What is the current running through resistor three? 2amps..!What is the current running through resistor five? 3 amps..!What is the voltage drop running through resistor five? 45 volts...!What is the equivalent resistance through the parallel portion of the circuit? 6 ohmsAnswerA resistor is a conductor, albeit one with a higher resistance than a length of wire, so current passes through it without any problem. The magnitude of the current will, of course, be somewhat lower because of the additional resistance.


Why would electricity go off if too many appliances are running?

Circuit breakers are in place to prevent an over-current condition. When too much current is passed through a wire, it overheats and can result in fire. The circuit breaker is just doing its job when it turns off a circuit in that kind of condition. Too many appliances running simply means too much current on a circuit.


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 flows through a complete circuit?

Current flows through a complete circuit.


How do resistors affect the change in current flowing through a circuit?

Resistors in a circuit reduce the flow of current by impeding the movement of electrons. This causes a decrease in the overall current flowing through the circuit.


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 the main circuit breaker keep tripping?

The main circuit breaker keeps tripping because there is an overload of electrical current flowing through the circuit, which can be caused by too many appliances running at once, a short circuit, or a faulty electrical component.


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 is the voltage drop running through the parallel potion of the circuit?

A: There is no voltage drop running through in a parallel circuit but rather the voltage drop across each branch of a parallel circuit is the same
