meaning that the current from your power source doesn't return to the positive end (electricity flows from - negative, to + positive)

What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
If the circuit is closed the electric current will be closed as well.
In a circuit the purpose of a switch is to?
In a circuit, the purpose of a switch is to control the current flow to the load by opening the circuit (off) or closing the circuit (on). When the circuit is open, the is no complete loop through which the current can flow. When the switch closes the circuit, it restores the loop, and thus allows the current to flow.
Why do people want switches on mechanisms that use electricity?
To control the flow of current - either to make it flow through the circuit or stop the flow through the circuit
The constant flow of electrons through a complete circuit?
That is called electrical current.
Is true if there is voltage in circuit there must be electrons flowing through the circuit.?
No. For electrons to flow, you need a current.
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 kind of circuit allows a current to flow through it?
Closed circuit
What is used to insure that too much current does not flow through one circuit?
A circuit breaker or a fuse is used to insure that too much current does not flow through one circuit.
Is there actually current flowing through the return wire?
Yes, there is a current flow through he return wire in a closed circuit. The only time there is no current flow through the return wire is when the circuit is open.
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 factor determines the amount of current to flow through a circuit?
current
What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
If the circuit is closed the electric current will be closed as well.
What is the importance of series circuit?
current is flow through the circuit in same manner.

When the circuit is open, the is no complete loop through which the current can flow. When the switch closes the circuit, it restores the loop, and thus allows the current to flow.
Why do people want switches on mechanisms that use electricity?
To control the flow of current - either to make it flow through the circuit or stop the flow through the circuit
What kind of circuit allows a current to flow through?
Any complete circuit. ==== An electrical circuit.
Which branch in a parallel circuit has the least amount of current flow?
The least amount of current will flow through the branch of a parallel circuit that has the most resistance.
