and when it passes through a resistor in the circuit it opposes its direction

Why must a circuit be closed in order for current to a flow?

A circuit must be closed in order for a current to flow because it helps keep a current flow pass. When the switch is closed on a circuit there is a constant flow. When the switches open the flow is disturbed around the circuit.

What called the flow of electricity?

The flow of electricity is called the current. It is measured in Amps (I).Current is the flow of electrons around an electrical circuit.


What constitutes a complete circuit?

Where the current can flow around completely, without being interrupted by a break in the circuit.


What constitutes a complete electrical circuit?

A complete electrical circuit occurs when it is possible for electrical current to flow through the electrical devices in it.


How can you stop the flow of the current around a circurt?

Open the circuit with a switch or contacts.


The opposition to the flow of electrical current?

In a DC circuit . . . resistance. In an AC circuit . . . impedance.


A wire wrapped around a magnet is an example of a open circuit?

No, a wire wrapped around a magnet is an example of a closed circuit, as the wire forms a continuous loop for the flow of electric current. An open circuit is a circuit that is interrupted, preventing the flow of current.


What does a load do to the flow of electrical current in a series circuit?

A load increases the flow of electrical current in a series circuit. No load, no flow.


How does a resistor affect the flow of current in an electrical circuit?

A resistor restricts the flow of current in an electrical circuit by resisting the flow of electrons. This causes a decrease in the amount of current that can pass through the circuit.


What is a circuit with two or more branches for current to flow called?

Parallel circuit


What is a closed path through which current can flow?

A closed path through which a current can flow is called a circuit. Electric Circuit:)
