If there is no complete path, excess electrons will very quickly build up at some place, and repel further electrons - no more current will thus flow.

What is required for current to flow through an electrical current?

Potential Source connected across a Closed Circuit Path.


what is a complete path for current to flow fleery?

To generate a complete path for current to flow freely, you need a closed circuit where electricity can travel without any interruptions. This typically involves connecting a power source (such as a battery) to a load (such as a light bulb) using conductive materials like wires. Any breaks or gaps in this path will disrupt the flow of current.


An electrical current will always flow?

An electrical current will only flow in a closed loop or circuit where there is a complete path for the electricity to follow. If there is a break in the circuit or an open switch, the current will not flow.


What is a complete closed path?

A complete closed path is a continuous loop in a circuit where current can flow from a power source back to the source without interruption. This path allows for the flow of electrical energy and ensures that the circuit operates properly.


What path is created for a current that allows only one route for the current?

A controlled and linear path of current is an electrical circuit. A complete circuit has a beginning and terminus for the flow of charge.


Why must a circuit be closed in order for a current to flow?

A circuit must be closed in order for a current to flow because it helps keep a current flow pass. When the switch is closed on a circuit there is a constant flow. When the switches open the flow is disturbed around the circuit.


Current will flow as long as the power supply is good and there's a power-control device true or false?

Current will flow as long as there is a difference of potential (a voltage) and a path for current to flow. So no power-control device is required for current flow but yes it will flow with a power control decive.


Describe the path of a current in a complete circuit?

An operating circuit, is by definition, complete. The electrons in a DC circuit flow from the -ve terminal of the power source, through the various components and switches etc, then to the +ve terminal of the power source.


What complete path through which an electric current can flow from the source of electrical energy and back again?

A closed loop circuit provides a complete path for an electric current to flow from the source of electrical energy, through the load, and then back again to the source. This ensures a continuous flow of electrons and allows electrical devices to work properly.
