When a circuit has a gap in it, everythig stops working
because the electricity wont be able to flow around the whole circuit

What happens if there is a break in a series circuit?
The series circuit becomes an open circuit because there is no remaining path.
What is the condition of maximium power transfer of circuit?
Maximum power transfer happens in a circuit when the resistance of the circuit equals the reactance. Impedance Z = R + jX. At R=X, maximum power transfer happens.
When a dead short occur what happens to circuit resistance?
The circuit resistance is likely to gradually drop and in such case it will cause the circuit to burn down.
What happens in a circuit at resonant frequency?
what is resonant frequency
What happens if you shorten the resistance wire in a circuit?
It shortens
If a circuit had a gap in it would it work?
Nope... if the circuit has a gap in it - the path of electrons is interrupted, and that would stop the circuit from working.
What does a switch do in a curcuit?
A switch can create a gap in a circuit causing the circuit to turn on or off!
What will happen if there is a gap in electric circuit?
If the gap is small then you may get 'arcing'. This is where the electricity will jump from one point to another (cable end to cable end). This could cause a fire. If the gap is too large for the electricity to jump then in effect there will be no-circuit.
What is the importance of air gap in magnetic circuit?
It is important to have the air gap in a magnetic circuit so that everything works properly. The air gap allows magnetic flux flow to the main source; without it, it would not work properly.
What happened when you turned on the switch of the light?
A switch is placed in an electrical circuit in order to place a gap when the switch is off, so the circuit is broken. When the switch is on, the circuit is complete and the electricity can flow round the circuit.
What happens when a circuit closes?
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
What happens when a circuit is closed?
when a circuit is closed, electricity can move though it.
What happens if there is a break in a series circuit?
The series circuit becomes an open circuit because there is no remaining path.
How does a lightswitch work?
A light switch fills(on) or makes (off) a gap in an electrical circuit.
What happens if a wire breaks?
The circuit stops working because of the short circuit
What happens in a circuit if you increase the voltage of the battery driving it?
The power in the circuit will increase.
When is a switch or key open?
A switch is open when the key is not plugged in, thus creating an air gap or discontinuity in the circuit. No current can flow through such a circuit.
