A complete path for electric current to follow is called a?

An Electric PathA complete path for an electric current to follow is called a closed circuit. Ampere is the SI unit for measuring an electric current.


What causes a current in an electric circuit?

Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.


What is the difference between electricmotor and generator?

Here are the main differences between an electric motor and an electric generator: Functionality: Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical or kinetic energy, whereas electric generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Usage: Electric motors are used in fans, mixers, washing machines, and other household appliances, whereas electric generators are used as power backup during outages, in construction sites, mining areas, and agriculture. Fleming’s Rule: Electric motors follow Fleming’s left-hand rule, whereas electric generators follow Fleming’s right-hand rule. Principle: The working principle of a motor is based on the current-carrying conductor, whereas the working principle of a generator is based on electromagnetic induction. Current: In motors, the current has to be supplied to armature windings, whereas in generators, armature windings produce current. EMF: Electric motors give out back EMF, whereas electric generators produce induced EMF.


A break in the wires of an electric current will the circuit and the current?

A break in the wires of an electric current will break or cut the circuit and stop the current from flowing.

What will an electric current follow?

An electric current follows the path of least resistance.


What will an electric current always follow?

An electric current will always follow the path of least resistance, meaning it will flow through materials that offer the least opposition to the flow of electrons. This is determined by the conductivity and resistivity of the materials through which the current is passing.


Up to how many paths can an electric current follow?

There is no limit. If you have a TV, a light and a refrigerator, electric current can go through all three.


What is the path that electricity follow?

An electric current flows from negative to positive.


Can an electric current produce a field magnetism around it?

yes. electric current low always generates a magnetic field.


What is the name of the electric current which always flows in the same direction?

Direct current (DC) is the name of the electric current that always flows in the same direction. It is commonly used in electronics and power transmission systems.


What is the complete path for an electric current to follow called?

The complete path for an electric current to follow is called a circuit. It includes a closed loop with a source of electricity, conductive material, and devices that use the electricity.


How many routes can an electric current go in?

An electric current can flow through multiple routes simultaneously in a parallel circuit. In a series circuit, the current has only one path to follow. The number of available routes for an electric current depends on the circuit configuration.
