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.
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 device is needed for current to flow in an electric circuit?
Too vague of a question. As long as it is a closed circuit it will flow.
What is a closed electric circuit?
An example of a closed electrical circuit would be a battery to a light bulb, the only source of power being the battery and no other input from an outside source. Like video cameras in a store they would be considered a closed circuit surveillance system so long as the signals stay inside the store and don't leave to a remote location.
Why will a bulb not light if a switch is open in a circuit?
It will not work because it has to be closed so the electricity can go to the bulb.
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 electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit?
which electric element should be used so as to open the closed electric circuit
An electric what is a pathway for electric current?
A closed circuit.
What is a complete electric circuit?
A complete electric circuit is basically an electric circuit in which the electrons flow from negative terminal to positive terminal without any disturbance. The switch has to be closed in order for this to work otherwise, the flow will be broken.
When does the electric current flow?
An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).
What is the movement of electric charges in a closed circuit?
Electric Current
What is closed path throuth which current can flow?
An electric 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.
Closed path where electric current can flow is called a?
I guess Electric Circuit....
Is series circuit open or closed?
open 2nd answer: The meaning of circuit means ' a closed loop', whether it is an electric circuit, a circuit of a race, or the circuit of a traveling judge. So, by definition, the Series Circuit is closed.
Why does an electric circuit that operates correctly need to be closed circuit?
In order to have the electricity or the flow or electrons going around the circuit, the circuit must be closed. If it is not closed then electrons cannot flow.
What is the type of circuit called when it has an conductor a switch a electric cell a resistor?
it is called a circuit and when it is closed is called a closed circuit and when open circuit it is called an open circuit
