Electricity can flow in a circuit and can produce?

Work of some sort depending on the device being powered. For example, an electric car can transport people from point A to point B.


Objects which need a good conductor of electricity to work?

a good conducter of electricity needs what object to work


Why are electrical circuits important?

Yes! Electricity is so imporatant. Think about it, if the power go's off in your house, it seems pretty dark. Electricity circulates in the power lines that go's underground and connects to different types of other cords to give us electricity! Well I hope that answer helped!


What is an electrical isolator?

Something that doesn't let electricity throughAnswerAn isolator (UK terminology) or disconnector (US terminology) is a switch used to isolate a section of a circuit from any energised conductors, by presenting a visible break in the circuit. Isolators are not designed to break load currents (unless fitted with optional arc-breaking feature) or to break fault currents. In high-voltage systems, isolators are used in conjunction with circuit breakers -with the isolators opened after a circuit breaker has opened the circuit, and closed before the circuit breaker closes the circuit. For example, before one can perform maintenance work on, say, a high-voltage circuit breaker, the following sequence must be followed:the circuit breaker is opened, breaking the circuit.isolators located on either side of the circuit breaker are opened, presenting a visible break between the isolator and energised lines.temporary earth (ground) connections are applied to each side of the circuit breaker.barriers and warning signs are erected around the circuit breaker to define the permitted work area.a permit to work card, listing the work to be performed, and any potential hazards, is issued to the personnel who are to maintain the circuit breaker.

What type of circuit does electricity travel when it does work?

Electricity travels in a closed circuit when it does work.


In what type of circuit does eletricity travel when it does work?

Electric energy powers appliances such as a radio or light bulb. It travels in a CLOSE CIRCUIT.


What position does the switch have to be in for a circuit to work?

The switch needs to be in the "on" position for the circuit to work, allowing the flow of electricity through the circuit. In the "off" position, the switch breaks the circuit, stopping the flow of electricity.


How does a switch work in a circuit to control the flow of electricity?

A switch in a circuit works by opening or closing a pathway for electricity to flow. When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow through. When the switch is open, it breaks the circuit and stops the flow of electricity. This control of the flow of electricity allows the switch to turn devices on and off in a circuit.


Why would a circuit not work when a wire is replaced with cotton string?

Cotton string does not conduct electricity, so replacing a wire with cotton string will break the electrical connection in the circuit. This will prevent the flow of electricity necessary for the circuit to work properly. It's important to use materials that conduct electricity, like wire, to maintain the circuit's functionality.


What can be used to power a light bulb or appliances and can travel only in a closed circuit?

Electricity, generated from a power source such as a battery or generator, is used to power light bulbs and appliances. It travels in a closed circuit from the power source through the wires to the device and back to complete the circuit. This flow of electricity is what enables the devices to work and produce light or perform their intended functions.


How did electricity and magnetisnm work to gether?

When electricity flows through a circuit then magnetic field is created around it


How does closed circuit work?

A closed circuit works by having electricity flow in a complete circuit or circle or any closed shape.


Why electric circuit so important?

because with no circuit no current can flow.current is important in electricity to produce power to work.


If a switch is said to be open will a curcuit work?

A circuit will not work if a switch is open, be because it is not allowing the electricity to flow. Where as if it was closed it would give the electricity a sealed off path to flow through.


How do light swithes turn on?

Basically, when you click that switch, it completes a circuit for the electricity to flow. If the circuit is not completed in any part, the circuit will not work at all


What is a path through witch electricity travels?

A path through which electricity travels is called a circuit. In a closed circuit, electricity can flow from the power source through wires and components back to the source again, allowing electrical devices to function. If the circuit is open, electricity cannot flow and the devices will not work.
