Closed circuit means circuit is complete without any break in between and current is flowing if there is any source.

What are 2 types a circuits?

There are two types of circuits: series, and parallel. In a series circuit, electricity flows through all components of the circuit in a series. This means it flows from the power source, through all the components as a whole, then back to the source. A parallel circuit, on the other hand has the electricity flow through the components separately. Power flows from the source to each individual component individually, then back to the source. In a series circuit, if one component is missing or broken, the circuit will not function. With a parallel circuit, on the other hand, if a part is missing, or broken, all the other components will still work.


What does it mean for an elctrical circuit to have a short?

This is simple. A short indicates that there is a wire that is touching someplace that its not supposed to. That path of the electricity is off course and can cause shock if not repaired.


What does circuit residence mean?

Does the short circuit mean the electricity takes a shorter course?

Electricity is lazy by nature & it will always find the path of least resistance. Many times this path is also the shortest distance path from a positive charge to a negative charge, but not necessarily, it must also be the least resistive path. Typically, a short circuit is a case where a piece of metal connects two points of different voltage potential together, thus bypassing the rest of the circuit and creating a "short" in the circuit.


What happens in a current when the resistance goes up?

It causes the electricity flow faster,which in term increases the electrical flow.CommentChanging a circuit's resistance doesn't cause 'electricity' to flow faster -or slower, come to that! First of all, 'electricity' isn't a quantity, so it cannot be measured, and it doesn't flow! If, by 'electricity', you mean 'current', well that isn't made to 'flow faster' either.If the supply voltage is constant, then increasing a circuit's resistance causes the magnitude of current to fall. This has nothing to do with its 'speed'!

What does it mean when the circuit is opened?

Its means there is no continuity between point Ato point B. Ex. A light switch : When the switch is off it opens the circuit and electricity does not get to the light, when the switch is on the circuit is closed and the light will turn on.


What is the function of the closed switch in the circuit?

What do you mean by a complete closed circuit?

A circuit without any nonconducting wires


What does it mean for a circuit to be open and how does it affect the flow of electricity within the system?

When a circuit is open, it means there is a break in the path that electricity travels through. This break prevents the flow of electricity, causing the circuit to be incomplete and no electricity can pass through.


What does it mean if a circuit is "open" and how does it affect the flow of electricity within the circuit?

When a circuit is "open," it means there is a break in the path that electricity needs to flow through. This interruption prevents the flow of electricity, causing the circuit to be incomplete and preventing devices from receiving power or functioning properly.


What do you mean by open and closed electric circuit?

An open circuit is one where the current is not able to complete the circuit. An example could be a light bulb connected to power but switched off, the circuit being broken by the switch, and considered "open." When flipping the switch On, it connects the power and the circuit is then closed.


What is the use of a bulb in a closed circuit?

i believe you mean lamps a bulb is what you plant in the ground.


What does circuit mean in science?

circuit means a closed path followed or capable of being followed by an electric currents


What does closed circuit television mean?

Closed circuit television is a television system which the video signals are transmitted from one (or more) cameras by cable to a restricted set of monitors. This is frequently used in security videos.


What does circut mean in science?

Circuit means a current of electricity going thruogh a power source and resistance.


What does t1 mean in electricity?

"T1" in electricity typically refers to a type of circuit breaker. It is a designation used to classify the time delay characteristics of the circuit breaker. T1 circuit breakers are designed to trip within a certain time frame when a fault or overload is detected in the electrical system.


what does resistor mean in science?

In electronics/electricity, it's a component or part of a circuit that opposes/reduces the flow of current.
