Only a power source and a conducting path between its terminals.

If you need the circuit to accomplish anything useful, then there's typically

some sort of useful device in the conducting path, that uses power from the

source to do whatever it is that you need done.

In order to form an electric circuit what do you need to have?

To establish an electric current, there are two requirements that must be met. There must be a closed conducting path that goes from the positive terminal to the negative terminal. The second requirement is to have an electric circuit for the energy to move a positive test charge against the electric field.


The function of a capacitorin an electric circuit is to?

The function of a capacitor or an electric circuit is to store energy. It keeps this energy stored until it is need for release at a later time.


Does an electric circuit have a beaker?

No, an electric circuit does not have a beaker. A beaker is a container used for holding liquids, whereas an electric circuit consists of components like wires, batteries, resistors, and switches that allow electricity to flow in a specific path.


What is the form of potential energy of an electric fan?

The potential energy of an electric fan is typically in the form of electrical potential energy. This energy is stored in the fan's electric circuit when it is connected to a power source.

What 3 things do you need to have for electric current?

To have electric current, you need a source of electric potential difference (voltage), a closed circuit that allows the flow of charges, and a conductive material through which the electric charges can move.


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.)


What is the role of reactive power in an electric circuit?

Some electrical machines work on the principle of electromagnetic induction. For such events to occur, we need inductor due to which reactive power flows in the circuit. Since, this power is due to the energy storing elements in the circuit like inductor and capacitor. That is why, we need reactive power in a electric circuit.


Why does a circuit warm up when it has electric current flowing in it?

Resistors dissipate energy in the form of heat.
