Yes the circuit needs to have no breaks or have the switch open to let the electrons pass through.

Number of electrons flowing pass one point?

The passing charges is called, "Current", and the rate of those charges is measured in "Amperes", capitalized because the word is taken from a person's name. The common electrical units are: Electromotive Force, or EMF. Measured in Volts. Current. Measured in Amperes. Resistance. Measured in ohms.


What do you measure the current using?

Current (I) is the motion of charge from one location to another. I = dQ/dt, the net charge flowing through an area per unit time. Current is related to potential difference and resistance by the following equation. I = V/R To measure current for practical uses, obtain a good ammeter. Ammeters will measure the current passing through a given circuit.


When a three phase generator is short circuted what is the current and voltage?

Hopefully the current and voltage would be zero. The generators overload and short circuit main breaker protection is there just for conditions like that. As soon as the fault is recognized by the protection the generator is taken off line.


When a glucose solution is taken in a beaker and circuit was closed.what will happen?

If the glucose solution is conducting electricity, the circuit will allow current to flow through the solution, completing the electrical circuit. This is because glucose molecules ionize in solution, producing charged particles that can conduct electricity. It is essential to use caution when handling electricity and conducting experiments in liquid solutions.


Why must electricians be extra careful when calculating power requirements for circuits that will run motors?

The electrical code states that motor feeders have to be rated at 125% of the FLA of the motor. When wiring motor circuits always consider the ambient temperature (for wire de-rate purposes) where the motor is located and the 125% rule before selecting the correct wire size. <<>> Extra care must be taken when calculating power requirements for circuits that will carry electric motors because the current need of an electric motor is larger than calculated from its horsepower rating alone. Electric motors are highly inductive and also have an in-rush current requirement to get started. The circuit used to power an electric motor has to be capable of supplying the in-rush and steady state currents to the motor -- with an acceptable I^2-R loss on the wires.

What is The pathway taken by an electric current is called?

Its circuit. But this is hard to marry with lightning, which is the path of an electric current.


The pathway taken by an electric current is a?

The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)


How many outlet for ELECTRIC circuit in a house?

As many as you like but the total current taken is limited by the circuit breakers.


Why does the electric current decrease when an additional bulb is added to the circuit in series?

becase the electricity is taken by both bulbs and it is divided


What does q and t mean in the formula for electric current?

In the formula for electric current (I = q/t), q represents the amount of charge passing through a point in a circuit, measured in coulombs. t represents the time taken for the charge to pass through that point, measured in seconds. Electric current (I) is the rate at which charge flows through a circuit.


How we calculate magnitude of current in circuit?

It is nothing but how much current or voltage taken in the circuit. It is known as Magnitude.


How do you calculate electric currents?

Electric current (in amperes) is calculated by dividing the electrical charge (in coulombs) by the time taken (in seconds) for the charge to pass through a given point in a circuit. The formula is I = Q / t, where I is the current, Q is the charge, and t is the time.


How do you know when you have a circuit?

How do voltage and current and restistance all link together?

According to ohm's law, voltage in a circuit is directly proportional to current in the circuit and when that proportionality sign is taken off to equals to, a constant is introduced with current and is called resistance. Therefore Voltage in a circuit equals to product of current and resistance in that circuit.


What are the advantages of push pull amplifier?

The advantage of this circuit is that there is very little current taken if there is no signal input


Is amperage rating and running amperage the same thing?

Usually the current rating for a circuit is higher than the current usually taken. This leaves a little margin for safety.
