The conductor is made up of atoms, which have electrons orbiting the nucleus. The valence electrons (the outermost orbit) are the ones that move, the fewer electrons in the outer orbit the better the conductor.

They come from the battery. The battery is a power source designed to let current flow from the positive side, through the circuit and back again.

What is circuit protectors?

Circuit protectors come in two different forms and their job is to protect the electrical circuit from damage from electricity. RCDs' (Residual Current Device) protects by monitoring the flow of electricity through the phase (live) and neutral wire. If it detects an imbalance it will cut off the power supply to that circuit. Fuses, and more commonly, circuit breakers, prevent too much electricity being drawn by the circuit. If the current drawn by the circuit is too much either the fuse will "blow" or the circuit breaker will trip and it will disconnect the power supply to that circuit.


What is a circuit in which electricity doesn't flow called?

In a lighting circuit an open circuit will turn off the light.


What will happen if there is a gap in electric circuit?

If the gap is small then you may get 'arcing'. This is where the electricity will jump from one point to another (cable end to cable end). This could cause a fire. If the gap is too large for the electricity to jump then in effect there will be no-circuit.


How does a circuit turn a switch on and off?

A switch makes a physical break in the electric circuit. With the circuit broken the electricity can not flow. When the switch is turned the other way the circuit is completed and the current/electricity can flow.


Does a light fitting still use electricity if it's on but the bulb has blown?

No. The filament completes the circuit, so if the filament is blown the circuit is incomplete, so no electricity flows.

Electricity stops when the circuit is?

Electricity stops as soon as the circuit opens.


Does electricity travel in a electromagnetic circuit?

Yes an electricity travels in an electromagnetic circuit. No it Doesn't


What type of circuit does electricity travel when it does work?

Electricity travels in a closed circuit when it does work.


In what type of circuit does electricity travel when it does work?

Electricity travels in a closed circuit when it does work.


How does a switch control the flow of electricity?

When the switch is open, the circuit is not a complete circuit. Electricity needs a complete circuit of conductive material. The switch breaks the circuit causing the flow of electricity to be disrupted. When you close the switch, a full circuit is restored thus restoring the flow of electricity.


How come a series circuit is not used for car headlights?

Because you need to use a parallel circuit. With a series circuit, the car headlights will become dim. This is because, the electricity in a series circuit goes only one way and this means that when there are 2 bulbs, the charges of electricity have to use half of their energy for each bulb.


What is the path the electricity takes called?

When does electricity flow?

When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.


What supplys energy to move electricity through a circuit?

A battery supplies energy to move electricity through a circuit (Remember, a circuit is a wire.)


Why is an electricity not flow in an open circuit?

The electricity will flow from higher potential to lower potential in a closed circuit.


Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is?

if an electric circuit has potential difference. Electricity will flow only if an electrical circuit is closed.
