What is a connection that allows current to take the path of least resistant?

Current will tend to take the path of least resistance in any case. That's its nature. A short circuit (or "short") is a low resistance current path that current will follow if it appears.

∙ 12y agoIf the current has a choice of which path to take at any point in the circuit, then
you have a parallel circuit.
Current doesn't really take the 'path of least resistance'. It takes all paths available,
dividing itself up and sending some current down each path. It divides up in such a way
that the paths with less resistance get more current, and those with more resistance
get less current.

What is a cisco connection for the Internet?
A Sysco connection is a wireless connection that is found almost everywhere. If you play with the SEARCH FOR A CONNECTION option in internet settings while moving down the road you will find at least a dozen in a populated area.
Do you have to use wireless internet for Ps3?
no u must use an ethernet cable or wireless internet For most people who do not have a wireless connection in their home they must also purchase at least a router to allow a connection between the cable modem and the PS3. An ethernet cable allows a wired connection between the PS3 and the router and if running a cable is a problem you need to purchase a wireless router. Although I purchased a wireless router I found that the wired connection worked better and the wireless router also had four wired connection spots on the back.
What happens when current flows where it isn't supposed to?
When current flows where it isn't supposed to there is a lot of arcing and sparking. In an electrical circuit what the current is trying to do is get back to the source any way it sees fit using the path of least resistance. This is where over-current devices (breakers and fuses) come into effect to stop the fault and prevent the least amount of damage to the equipment as possible. It is well documented the damage that the current from a lightning strike can do and there is no over-current device in the world that can prevent it from happening.On the lighter sideThat's a very serious thing. It is sent to bed without its supper.
When the current will be short and open circuited?
Open circuit has no current, so does that mean any resistor in series with it, has no current ,so it can be ignored for analysis( v=ir so 0 current means 0 V) for finding lets say the Thevenin equivalent.? Now for Short circuit, do we ignore a resistor in series with the short, because current will take path of least resistance and ignore that resistor? Also can short circuit have voltage through it ?

No, it is not resistant.It can be pulled toward influential points.
Do you have to mud and tape drywall to put on a tub surround?
No, it is better caulked with a water resistant caulk. ( Also it should be at least water resistant drywall or concrete/fibre board.)
What detail is least relevant to someone researching the history of Montana mining?
The height of the current governor of Montana would be the least relevant detail to someone researching the history of Montana mining. The governor's height has no direct connection to the mining industry or its history in the state.
In India we have two wires come in our homes do both carry current?
Any circuit has at least two conductors. Otherwise, by Kirchoff's current law, there would be no current, therefore no power, therefore no work. The current coming on one wire is exactly balanced by the current going out on the other wire. If there is a third wire/connection, such as a ground wire, it is possible for current to flow on that conductor as well but, usually, there is no current expected to flow on the (safety) ground conductor.

false
What will an electric current follow?
An electric current follows the path of least resistance.
What happens when current reaches a insulator?
The current will take the path of least resistance.
What will have the least amount of current flow in a branch parallel circuit?
The branch with the highest resistance in a parallel circuit will have the least current flow. Ohm's Law: Current = Voltage divided by Resistance
