What else can I help you with?
What sentence uses the the words electric circuit in it?
The electric circuit has a current running through it.
How short is a shortcircuit?
A short circuit is so short that all the current in the entire network prefers to pass through it! Actually, whenever in a network/circuit there are two parallel paths for the current to flow, the current chooses the path of least impedance. As such, a circuit with no impedance of any sort is called a short circuit cuz the entire current passes through it.
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 a circuit with no current running through it?
Such a circuit either has no voltage source, or some part of the circuit is open, e.g., an open switch.
Is An open in the main line of a parallel circuit causes all individual branch currents to be zero?
Yes, an open in main line of a parallel circuit will effect the entire circuit current and make the whole circuit current zero
Why doesn't current decrease in series resistance circuit though resistance opposes current?
If you add another resistor or just increase the resistance the current will decrease. I think the statement you are talking about means that whatever the current is in the series circuit it will be the same everywhere in that circuit, on both sides of the resistance. The resistance lowers the current in the entire circuit, not just after the resistance.
Why must a circuit be closed in order for current to a flow?
A circuit must be closed in order for a current to flow because it helps keep a current flow pass. When the switch is closed on a circuit there is a constant flow. When the switches open the flow is disturbed around the circuit.
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.
Does it matter were we put the switch in a series circuit?
Yes, the placement of the switch does matter in a series circuit. Placing it before a component will interrupt the flow of current to the entire circuit, while placing it after a component will only interrupt the current to that specific component.
If a parallel circuit shorts at the battery will the entire circuit short out too?
If at battery,parallel circuit shorts then equivalent resistance of circuit becomes approximately 0 Ohms,and therefore as current follows low resistance path infinite amount of current due to low resistance will flow through the wire so,entire parallel circuit will short out,but wire will burn and battery may get damaged.

How many paths in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, there is only one path for the current to flow. The current flows through each component in sequence, meaning that if one component fails or is removed, the entire circuit is interrupted.
How are all the components in a series circuit connected?
In a series circuit, the components are connected end-to-end in a single loop, creating a single pathway for the current to flow. This means that the current passing through one component is the same that passes through all other components in the circuit. If one component fails, it can disrupt the flow of current through the entire circuit.
