What is status of a circuit that is complete and unbroken with flowing electric current?

A circuit that is complete and unbroken with flowing electric current normally has steady supply of voltage with no broken links. Electrical energy flows to light up a bulb or do similar work. Its status is complete, nothing else is needed.


Do electrons get used up as they go around the circuit?

A: NO they are not lost they just stop from flowing from nucleus to nucleus and resume their orbit to maintain balance with the structure of with nucleus


Describe the path that the electricity follows in sequence to light the bulb in your complete circuit?

In a complete circuit, electricity flows from the power source, such as a battery, through the positive terminal. It travels through the conductive path of wires to the bulb's socket, where it energizes the filament or LED element, causing it to emit light. The current then returns to the power source via the negative terminal, completing the circuit. This continuous flow of electrons allows the bulb to light up.


How do you decide which appliances can be used in a circuit without overloading it?

each appliance should have a rating label showing the amps or watts used, Add up these figures to see if they exceed the capacity of the circuit. Amps =watts/voltage


If a voltmeter is hooked up in series it will?

It will prevent almost all current from flowing the circuit, since a voltmeter has a very high electrical resistance. Only ammeters (or milliammeters) should be wired in series between a power source and its load.

Why is an electric circuit important for the transmission or movement of electricity?

If there is no closed circuit, electrons will stop flowing quickly, since a charge will build up and repel additional electrons that would otherwise flow.


What does a lamp in a circuit do?

A lamp in a circuit converts electrical energy into light energy when current flows through it. This conversion is possible due to the properties of the lamp's filament or gas, which heats up and emits light when electricity passes through it.


What does static electricity and current electricity have in common?

Static electricity and current electricity both involve the movement of electrical charge. In static electricity, charges build up on objects without flowing, while in current electricity, charges flow continuously in a closed circuit. Both types of electricity can result in the attraction or repulsion of objects due to the presence of opposite or like charges.


Why does a circuit warm up when it has electric current flowing in it?

Resistors dissipate energy in the form of heat.


What is the function of a battery in an electric circuit?

To provide electricity for the bulb to light up.


What causes a circuit breaker to trip?

A circuit breaker trips when there is an overload of electrical current flowing through the circuit, causing it to heat up and trip the breaker to prevent damage or fire.


Can electricity flow through a parallel circuit?

'Electricity' is the name given to a branch of science; it is NOT a quantity. So your question should read, 'How does an electric current flow through a parallel circuit?'The answer is that a parallel circuit is made up of two or more individual 'branches'. The sum of the currents flowing through each branch is the value of the current being drawn from the supply by the complete circuit.


Why do water heaters hum?

That humming is electricity flowing through the heating elements causing them to heat up.


Why does there have to be a full circuit or the electricity to flow?

Because of Kirchoff's Current Law, which states that the signed sum of the currents in a series circuit have to add up to zero. A consequence of this law is that if you have no circuit, there can be no current.Answer:That is not exactly true. Kirchoff's Current Law states that the sum of the currents flowing away from any point in an electric circuit must equal the sum of the currents flowing towards that point. {In realistic terms if a load draws 10 amps into it, 10 amps must flow away from it. As to the answer to the original question, I believe using the word "closed" instead of the word "full" and adding an "f" to the word "or" makes much more sense. The reason being that electricity only flows when a circuit is closed.


What kind of circuit is one in which all parts are connected in a single loop?

That is a series circuit, all parts have the same current flowing through, and the voltages add up.


A complete what is needed to make a bulb light up?

To make a light bulb light up, you need a closed electrical circuit. This circuit typically consists of a power source (such as a battery or outlet), wires to carry the electricity, and the light bulb itself. When the circuit is complete and electricity flows through the bulb, it will produce light.


If in a circuit why do batteries die?

Batteries produce electricity by chemical reaction. When all the chemicals in the battery are used up, the reaction can't continue and the battery dies.
