Good question. Electricity is about electrical charges. Alas, nature prefers electrical neutrality -- no net charge. An electrical charge is in an unstable state; it will seek the easiest path to be neutralized (to be in a stable state via a most energy-efficient manner); easy here means the lowest resistance to the flow. If water is dropped on a hilltop, it will seek a more stable state, the lower ground, by the quickest means (straight downhills), not meandering like a road for cars. Same for an electrical charge.

Does electricity follow the shortest path?
Electricity follows the path of least resistance. This could be convoluted.
What is the path electricity path?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
Why does electricity follow the path of least resisitance?
It's a natural phenomena, like water flowing down a hill.
What do you call an unintended path that electricity travels?
The path of least resistence
A path for electricity to flow is a?
Circuit
Light and electricity follows the path of?
Light and electricity follow the path of least resistance.
Does electricity follow the shortest path?
Electricity follows the path of least resistance. This could be convoluted.
What path does electricity follow through a circuit?
The path with the lowest resistance.
Why des electricity need to follow a path?
Electricity is the flow of electrons.Hence it requires a path containing free electrons in order to flow.
What is the path that electricity follow?
An electric current flows from negative to positive.
An electrical circuit in which the electricity only has one path to follow is called?
series circuit
What is the broken path through which electricity passes?
just follow the yellow brick road
Is a short circuit the easiest path for electricity to follow?
yes short circuit is easiest path for current to flow because it has low resistence.
What is the path electricity path?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
Why does electricity follow the path of least resisitance?
It's a natural phenomena, like water flowing down a hill.
What is the path which electricity travels called?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
What is the path the electricity takes called?
The path electricity takes is called a circuit.
