When reversed biased a diode acts like an open circuit?
The key function of a diode is to control the direction of the flow of current. Current passing through a diode can only go one way, which is called forward biased. In this setup, current is continuous hence the circuit is closed. When there is no current passing through, there will be no flow, and this is called reversed biased. In such a case, current is not continuous, hence it is called open 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 is a break in an electrical circuit called?
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.
The constant flow of electrons through a complete circuit?
That is called electrical current.
What is a single path for electric current to flow through?
is called an electrical circuit
What is the name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that cant flow?
The name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that can't flow is called a Closed Circuit. Electric current cannot flow through an open circuit.
What is meant by wattless current?
Current flowing through an ac circuit in which power consumed is zero is called wattless current.
Is an unbroken path through which an electric current can flow?
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
The pathway taken by an electric current is a?
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?
Parallel circuit
What is a circuit called if its operating and the current is flowing?
This is called a closed circuit. If current was not flowing, it would be open.
What is through a discontinuous circuit which no current can flow?
meaning that the current from your power source doesn't return to the positive end (electricity flows from - negative, to + positive)
