Want this question answered?
It would be an orbit.
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
No. Displacement is just the final location minus the initial location, regardless of the path.
Electricity follows the path of least resistance. This could be convoluted.
Very good question. To make a body to move along a curved path it has to be massive. But photon, the quantum of light, is having zero rest mass and even in motion negligible mass. If the particle is charged one, it can be driven along a curved path as in the case of charged particle in a magnetic field. But photon is charge less. But light can be bent. As light falls on a glass prism, then the out coming light is found to be deviated towards the base of the prism. By using the phenomenon of total internal reflection, light is easily taken through the optical fibres now a days. Light can be assumed to be along a curved path as if we see that light passes through curved optical fibre. But the reality is not so. With the idea of gravitational lens, of course, light can go along a curved path.
If the path is a wire or conductive material then you have a current or flow of electricity. If the path is air then you you have a spark or lightning strike
Light and electricity follow the path of least resistance.
Lowest resistance.
It would be an orbit.
All the directions
A tornado moves in a relatively narrow path on land
A hurricane moves in a very wide path over water.
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
Electron transport is electricity. Electricity is the flowing of electrons along a substrate such as copper. Electrons will move from one source to another source. In household electricity the electrons travel along the path and back to the original source.
The light moves from the source in a straight line to an object and then moves into the back of your eye to your retina.
When electricity flows through a path of less resistance instead of the original path where maybe a light bulb is part of the original path.
because resistance is proportional to the wire's length's . electricity moves from a higher potential to a lower one. Potential = current intensity x resistance, thus potential increases when resistance does. eventually electricity will not choose the longer path because it has a higher potential.
