What is an electric circuit with two or more path?
Is a parallel circuit whit 2 or more wires
Why are wires with less cross sectional area are used in circuit?
Wires with less cross sectional area are easier to bend and curve around in a circuit. Also, copper costs money, so the more cross-section, then more copper and the cost of building the circuit goes up. Weight savings would be another factor. The maximum expected current load of a section of circuit is calculated, and the size wiring, necessary to handle that current is used.
What happens to a bulb when more wires are added to the circuit?
it trens off
What is a parallel circiut?
Something that contains a voltage circuit and wires.
What kind of circuits have two or more wires running next to each other?
You can't characterize a circuit type in this way. In a digital circuit a ribbon cable with parallel wires usually indicates a parallel connection as opposed to a serial connection or interface.
What is a parralell curcuit?
• In a parallel circuit, there are junctions in the circuit so the current can flow around the circuit in more than one way. • In a series circuit the current decreases as more bulbs are added. •In a parallel circuit, as more bulbs are added, the current increases. • This is because bulbs added in parallel offer less resistance
What best describes the condition that occurs when bare wires in an electrical circuit accidentally touch causing more current to flow than the circuit can safely carry it will cause a fuse or circiut?
The correct name is a Short Circuit.
What are the advantages of chassis earth return systems?
1 cheapness due to less use of wiring more copper =more cost2 it makes the wiring system simple due to less use of wires its not having to run everything back to the batteryless wires
What is essential to make a circuit?
In order to make a circuit, you need a power pack, connecting wires (2 or more) and a load. The load can be something like a lightbulb or any form of a resistor.
In what part of the circuit do the electric charges releases most of their energy?
The component with the highest resistance in a series circuit will have, or "drop" the most voltage across it. All of the components in a series circuit will have the same amount of current flowing through them but not the same voltage drops if the resistances are different. More resistance more voltage across it, less resistance, less voltage across it.
What is the advantage of Miniature Circuit Breaker?
Miniature circuit breakers are smaller & easier to instal. It occupy less space & are more efficient
What experiments suggest that wires have essentially zero resistance?
Think of this as two scenarios. First, we have one blub, one battery, and two wires in a closed circuit, and the bulb lights up. Next, think about what would happen if we added a couple more wires to the circuit. The bulb would still light up, just as brightly, meaning that the new wires are not increasing the amount of resistance. This means that the wires are not slowing down the flow of charges.
