In just about all of them. The idea of current flowing in a loop is a lies to children simplification. In anything more complicated than a torch or a doorbell, the elctricity flows along many different paths.
The grown-up version is embodied in Kirchhoff's laws:
1) The algebraic sum of the currents entering a node is zero.
Algebraic sum here means that if you arbitrarily call currents entering a node positive, and currents leaving the node negative (or vice versa) and add them all up, it always comes to zero. It's just a fancy way of saying that the total current coming in is equal to the total current going out. In other words, a node (any single point in a circuit) does not store charge.
2) The algebraic sum of the voltages around a given loop is zero.
Algebraic sum here means that you arbitrarily choose a direction around the loop. Increases in voltage as you traverse the loop are counted as positive, decreases as negative. It's just a cute way of saying that all the positive voltages are cancelled out by negative voltages.
Now, if you ever see a circuit diagram for your TV set or whatever, you won't be expecting a single path for the electricity to flow around!
But in simple circuits like the circuit in a flashlight, there is only one current path.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of circuit allows a current to flow through?
Any complete circuit. ==== An electrical circuit.
What kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electrons?
what kind of electricity is caused by a continuous flow of electrons
Short circuit example?
An example of a kind of short circuit is an arc welding.
Why would electricity go off if too many appliances are running?
Circuit breakers are in place to prevent an over-current condition. When too much current is passed through a wire, it overheats and can result in fire. The circuit breaker is just doing its job when it turns off a circuit in that kind of condition. Too many appliances running simply means too much current on a circuit.
What kind of energy does an electrical drill use?
That would be electricity.
What kind of circuit can electricity travel through?
"closed"
What kind of electricity moves through a circuit?
Current Electricity
What kind of circuit can electricity travel in?
Electricity can travel in both closed circuits and open circuits. In closed circuits, there is a complete loop for the electricity to flow through, allowing devices to receive power. Open circuits, on the other hand, have a gap that interrupts the flow of electricity.
How can solar panels send electricity to different parts of the house?
Solar panels generate electricity, direct current. This is normal electricity. It can travel along wires into batteries in your house, or it can go through an inverter and become alternating current which can be sold back to electricity companies. Whichever kind, it still travels along wires, just the same as bought electricity.
Electricity that flows along a wire is?
i think it just might mean a kind or type of circuit. But this is not very accurate so check on another website just in case. You shouldn't believe everything on this website.
Statis electricity is a kind of electricity What is this electricity type?
To whom it may concern, Did you mean to ask what is static electricity?? If so the term static, which means stays the same, means the electricity in a circuit is static; it does not change direction and electrons only have 1 path to travel. An example of a static circuit would be a DC ( Direct Current) circuit, whereas an AC circuit; alternating current, alternates between 120v to 0v, then 0 to negative 120, back to 0v, then to positive 120v, however, this happens at so fast you would never catch a reading on a multi meter.
When all parts are connected one after another along a path we have what kind of circuit?
Series.
What kind of circuit will not allow electricity to flow because there is a disconnection or the switch is off?
All electricity or electronic circuits will not allow the current to flow if they have switching devices in series in their circuits.
What is a path through which current flows?
A path through which current flows is generally called a circuit. Some might say a complete circuit to denote a "closed loop" through which electricity can leave one electrode or contact on a voltage source, travel through some conductors of some kind, and then return to the other electrode or contact on the source.
What instrument is hooked to galvanometers?
Your question is confused. A galvanometer is an instrument, it is not hooked to an instrument. It is hooked to an electrical circuit of some kind, to measure how much electricity is flowing.
What is one kind electricity?
Alternate Current is one kind of electricity.
What kind of waves can travel through earth and along earths surface?
Seismic waves are the types of waves that can travel through the Earth and along its surface. There are two main types of seismic waves: body waves (such as primary and secondary waves) that travel through the Earth's interior, and surface waves (such as Love and Rayleigh waves) that travel along the Earth's surface.
