a complete circuit is a circuit through which a current can flow

(see closed circuit)

A complete circuit is almost like a circle. Energy flows through this circle in order to make the light bulb light.
A circuit that has a power source, a load such as a light or motor to power and a ground point.
A complete circut is a circut with no gaps.

An (AC) circuit consist of basically two wires (one Hot, one Neutral) with components such as switches and lights connected in series between them. A short circuit occurs whenever a switch is closed causing an element to be energized such as the light bulb. This would be described as a short circuit or fault.

Without a completed circuit current will not flow. An open circuit would be represented by a room switch in the off position and the light fixture off. Turn the light switch on, current flows and the fixture turns on.

The electrons flow through this and if their is a device it will turn on for example a lightbulb would light up

Electricity flows in a complete circuit


What happens when the circuit is complete and the switches are closed?

*Look at the simple circuit illustrated in Figure A-2. What will happen when only switch S1 is closed? Correct Answer= "Nothing will happen-the light bulb won't light up." <<>> If there is a load in the circuit the load will operate. If there is no load in the circuit and it is complete then a short circuit will occur and something in the circuit will burn open. If the circuit is complete and there is a fuse or breaker in the circuit, then the fuse or breaker will open the circuit.


What happens to an electric current at a light switch?

When an electrical switch is in the off position, the circuit is interrupted. When the switch is on, the circuit is open and complete.


What happens to a bulb when you move it to the battery on a circuit?

It doesn't matter where the bulb is in respect to the battery, as long as the circuit is complete, the bulb will light up.


What happens if one bulb in a series circuit burned out?

In a series circuit, all bulbs are necessary to complete the circuit. If one bulb goes out, the circuit is broken, so none of the bulbs would light up.


What is a circuit with no load?

An open circuit or a short-circuit (if that circuit is complete).
