Not unless there's a source of electromotive force (potential difference, voltage)
somewhere in the circuit.

Yes, if you have a complete circuit, electricity will flow. A complete circuit includes a power source (such as a battery or generator), conductive path (such as wires), and a load (such as a light bulb or motor). When the circuit is closed, electrons will flow from the negative terminal of the power source through the conductive path to the positive terminal, creating an electrical current.

In order to flow electricity must follow what?
In order for a current to flow there must be a complete circuit.
Why do you have to remove the paper strip before turning a torch on?
It breaks the circuit and when it's removed the circuit is complete so electricity can flow.
What is made up of parts that work together to form a complete path allowing electricity to flow?
A closed electrical circuit.
What is the conductive connection between an electrical circuit equipment in the Earth?
The movement of water is like the flow of the electricity. Electricity must have a complete path for the flow. This movement is called?
Which device controls the flow of electrons in an electric circuit?
Flow of electricity in a circuit is controlled by using 'resistor'.
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.
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 is the difference between a complete and incomplete circuit?
In the simplest form; The difference between a complete and incopmlete circuit is... Complete means that electricity CAN and WILL flow through it where as with an incomplete circuit does not have the ability to conduct current is broken... Here is an example. -----/----- Incomplete cicuit, something preventing electricity to flow ----------- complete circuit, electricity can flow.
How can one close an open circuit?
One can close an open circuit by adding a complete loop of wire. This will allow the electricity to flow through the circuit, while electricity will not flow in an open circuit.
A simple circuit?
A simple circuit is a basic, simple and complete path through which electricity can flow.
In order to flow electricity must follow what?
In order for a current to flow there must be a complete circuit.
How does closed circuit work?
A closed circuit works by having electricity flow in a complete circuit or circle or any closed shape.
When does electricity flow?
When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.
Why do you have to remove the paper strip before turning a torch on?
It breaks the circuit and when it's removed the circuit is complete so electricity can flow.
Why is an electricity not flow in an open circuit?
The electricity will flow from higher potential to lower potential in a closed circuit.
Can you put electricity in a jar?
No, electricity cannot be put in a jar. Electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, and it requires a complete circuit to flow. You can store electrical energy in a battery or capacitor, but you cannot store the flow of electricity itself in a jar.
A circuit flow on a open switch?
no because when you close it, the circuit is complete so it lets the electrons pass through
