What else can I help you with?
When dangerously high currents flows through a thin strip of metal melts which creates an open circuit and current stops flow?
This is the general description of how a circuit breaker operates.
Is current constant through a circuit?
Yes, in a closed circuit, the current is constant and flows continuously through the 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 flows through a complete circuit?
Current flows through a complete circuit.
When dangerously high current flows through a thin strip of metal it melts and creates an open circuit and current stops flowing?
It's OK as a statement so the question mark can be deleted. <<>> This type of device is known as a fuse and it is the fuse's link that melts open.
How do resistors affect the change in current flowing through a circuit?
Resistors in a circuit reduce the flow of current by impeding the movement of electrons. This causes a decrease in the overall current flowing through the circuit.
In a parallel ac circuit is the current additive?
Yes In parallel circuit , current entering into the circuit will be divided intodifferent paths ( resistances) . Amount of current flow depends upon the magnitude of resistance applied in the circuit. Total current after passing through the circuit will be the sum of all current through each resistance.
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 the electric circuit where current flows through all parts of the circuit?
complex circuit
What device used to open a circuit if too much current flows through it?
A circuit breaker is a device used to open a circuit if too much current flows through it.
Does current flow through a circuit by taking the path of least resistance?
No, current does not flow through a circuit by taking the path of least resistance. Instead, current flows through all available paths in a circuit, with the amount of current in each path determined by the resistance of that path.
Differentiate parallel circuit and siries circuit?
If two circuit elements (e.g., two resistors) are in series (a series circuit), the current has to pass first through one, then through the other. If they are in parallel, the current has a choice, through which of the elements it passes.
