What else can I help you with?
The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual resistor connected in series?
True
What is the name of a series circuit?
An electric circuit connected so that current passes through each circuit element in turn without branching.
How are fuses or circuit breakers connected with other elements in the circuit?
Fuses are normally associated in series with the component(s) to be protected from over-current, so that when the fuse blows (opens) it's going to open the whole circuit and prevent cutting-edge through the ingredient
Why ammeter use fuses and volt meter do not?
An ammeter measures current THROUGH a circuit, a voltmeter measures current ACROSS a circuit. The ammeter is connected to a power source in series, essentially actually becoming part of the circuit. The current is flowing directly through the ammeter as if there were a wire in its place. If there is a surge from a substantial power source, the ammeter would be destroyed and the user could be severely injured. The fuse will "blow" if its "load" is exceeded breaking the circuit. A volt meter is connected to a power source in parallel because it has an extremely high resistance and little to no current would get through. You don't need a fuse because the current doesn't flow through it openly.
A path that electricity can move through is called?
the complete path that electricity can move through is called
When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, what happens to the current flow through the capacitor?
When a capacitor is connected to a circuit, the current flow through the capacitor initially increases and then decreases as the capacitor charges up.
What is the iffrence between a series circuit and parallel circuit?
Series circuit: elements are connected one after the other; the current (the electrons, or other charge carriers) has to pass through each of the elements in turn. Parallel circuit: elements are connected in such a way that part of the current will pass through one circuit element, part through the other.
How are all the components in a series circuit connected?
In a series circuit, the components are connected end-to-end in a single loop, creating a single pathway for the current to flow. This means that the current passing through one component is the same that passes through all other components in the circuit. If one component fails, it can disrupt the flow of current through the entire circuit.
A circuit that has 2 objects connected in a single path is a what?
The circuit is a series circuit when two objects are connected in a single path. In a series circuit, the current flows through each object in succession.
The total current that flows through a circuit is the same as the current that flows through each individual resistor connected in series?
True
Why is a voltmeter connected in parallel in an electrical circuit?
A voltmeter is connected in parallel in an electrical circuit to measure the voltage across a specific component or part of the circuit without affecting the flow of current through the circuit.
What are the multiple connected pathways through which electric current flows?
Electric current flows through multiple connected pathways in a circuit, including conductive materials like wires, resistors, capacitors, and other components. These pathways form a complete loop for the current to flow from the power source (such as a battery) through the circuit and back again. The flow of current is driven by the potential difference, or voltage, between the two ends of the circuit.
What is required for current to flow through an electrical current?
Potential Source connected across a Closed Circuit Path.
What do amps do in a series circuit?
In a series circuit, the current (amps) is constant throughout the circuit. This means that the same amount of current flows through each component connected in series. The current is not divided or reduced as it travels through the circuit.
What is the relationship between resistors connected in series and the flow of current through them?
When resistors are connected in series, the flow of current through them is the same. This means that the current passing through each resistor is equal, as it has to pass through each resistor in the series circuit.
What is the difference between series and parallel circut?
If two or more circuit elements are connected in series, the current must pass through each of them in turn. If two or more circuit elements are connected in parallel, that means there is a "fork in the road". In this case, part of the current will pass through one element, and part, through another one.
What has only one path for an electric current?
A series circuit has only one path for an electric current to flow through. In a series circuit, all the components are connected in a line, so the current has to pass through each component in order to complete the circuit.
