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.
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 does circuit residence mean?
circuit residence
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 does closed switch mean
What do you mean by a complete closed circuit?
A circuit without any nonconducting wires
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 electricity receiver mean?
electricity receiver mean that a conductor which has property of flow of electron without resistance. it is idal condition.- vinod
What are elements of a circuit?
A simple circuit consists of a source of electro motive force ( EMF or voltage V ) This could be a battery,dynamo or solar cell. The circuit should do something, like light a lamp. For the lamp to glow there must be a flow of electrons called an electric current measure in Amperes (I). For the current to flow the circuit must form a closed loop, like a daisy chain. A switch is a device that breaks this loop and controls the state of the circuit. Closed circuit, switch closed, = lamp on Open circuit, switch not closed = lamp off
What does circut mean in science?
Circuit means a current of electricity going thruogh a power source and resistance.
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.
Where does energy leave a circuit?
I assume you mean electricity not energy. The electrical energy doesn't leave the circuit as such it is converted by a component. E.G. A bulb in a circuit will convert the electrical energy into light and some heat.
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.
