Where does the energy go when a battery supplies current to an electric circuit?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
-- heating of the conductors somewhere in the circuit, as in toasters and incandescent light bulbs
-- mechanical energy if something like a motor is caused to move
-- assembling or disassembling molecular bonds, if the current is used to separate
compounds or for electroplating etc.
-- radiated out into space, if the current is used to generate radio waves
-- radiated out into the air, if the current is used to generate sound energy, as in a
home-stereo or PA system

What is a curcuit?
A circuit is the path that transmits electric current.A circuit includes a battery or a generator that gives energy to the charged particles .Circuits are classified according to the type of current they carry that is parallel circuit and series circuit.
The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the what?
The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the resistance.
What is closed path throuth which current can flow?
An electric circuit.
When electric circuit is closed no current flow through it IS the statement is correct?
yes... this is possible if a diode i connected in reverse bias with a battery and a resistor for example. A diode in reverse bias means its anode will be connected to positive terminal of the battery and its cathode to the negative terminal of the battery. In such a case, minimal current flows through the circuit which can be neglected.
What is an RCD cut the current to a circuit?
RCD cut the current to the circuit while preventing the electric shock
Why does a circuit stop working when you remove the battery?
The battery is the power source of the circuit. It supplies current to the circuit and the circuit is simply a path for the current to follow. When you remove the current (battery), the path still exists but there is no current going through it.
When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
When wires are connected to the terminals of a battery. what causes electric current in the circuit?
The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.
What does the electric battery do?
If there is a full circuit, it will send current around it.
What is the object called that supplies energy to move current through a circuit?
It's an electric cell.
What is the evidence that an electrical circuit is closed?
When that circuit has no breaks. It is an endless path of current flow.
What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What causes a current in an electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What is a electrical curcuit?
An electric circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. Its so simple, though my friend from extraminds help me with proper answer.
In an electric current electricity flow how?
Electricity can flow in an electric circuit by a battery. The battery creates electrons, which flow through the wire, and then go into a light bulb. (That is how a light bulb in a circuit lights up.) A series circuit is a circuit with one wire that electrons can flow through. Also, there can be more than one light bulb connecting to the same wire. A parallel circuit is a circuit with light bulbs that have their own wire.ClarificationThe above answer, unfortunately, perpetuates the myth that current leaves a battery, and finds its way around a circuit. This is not the case at all. It is the load that 'draws' the current from the battery and it is the load that determines the size of that current.
What are normally open and close circuits?
The electric path which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery ends at its negative terminal, without any break, is called closed electric circuit or complete electric circuit. The electric path,which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery, is broken at some point, is called open electric circuit or incomplete electric circuit.
What is an complete circuit?
A circuit is complete whenever current can flow from the battery (or what is producing current), through the circuit, and back to the battery. A complete circuit could contain just a battery and one wire. An incomplete circuit could be a battery with a wire attached to just one terminal, because current cannot flow all the way through the circuit in this case (i.e. cannot flow through the battery). note: not all elements in a circuit may have current flow in a complete circuit. For instance, a light bulb may be shorted but you still have a complete circuit.
