What happens to the energy in a circuit when the current passes through a component?
A: If there is resistance within the device it will cause to dissipate some of the energy as heat. The rest will continue
Difference between overcurrent relay and fuse?
Current is flow of electricity charge. Voltage is a measure of potential energy or charge. Fuse. Is a device that opens when the current rating is exceeded this stopping the flow of current.
What is the job of a bulb in a circuit?
The job of the bulb in a circuit is to convert electrical energy to light. It's called the load in the circuit.
What is the purpose of a resistor in an electronic circuit If the resistor converts energy to heat then are you wasting energy any time you use a resistor?
In its simplest use a resistor in a circuit is used to limit the amount of current flow, or to decrease the amount of voltage applied to a device. One example is you had a 12 volt battery and you need/ wanted to connect it to a device that ran on 9 volts then a resistor can be chosen to reduce the 12 volts to the 9 volts required.
What is the Electrical circuit breaker making and making capacity?
making current is a peak value attain at first cycle when the circuit breaker is close.the making current rating is expressed in "peak" value of the maximum ac current it can safely close on that's why it is always have higher value than breaking current. Making current is limited by the withstand capability of the contacts. Breaking current is based on the ability of the contacts to interrupt the current. If the contacts are not able to interrupt the current when they open, the heat energy in the resulting arc will often destroy the device. the breaking current rating is expressed in RMS value of the current.
What do a resistor do in a circuit?
A resistor is a device that impedes or limits the flow of electrical current in a circuit. It converts the current's electrical energy into heat (thermal) energy. A resistor reduces the amount of energy in a circuit and pumps it out as a heat.

What device can provide the energy for an electric circuit?
A battery, generator, or solar cell can.
What are three things needed for a closed circuit to occur?
For a closed circuit to occur, you need a power source to provide energy, a complete loop or pathway for the current to flow through (including conductive materials and wires), and a load or device that uses the electrical energy flowing in the circuit. This allows the circuit to be continuous and functional.
What gets used up in an electric circuit current or energy?
One of Kierchieff's laws tell us that the more wattage (energy) consumed by an electrical device in a circuit, the larger the voltage difference that exists across the device and the greater the current flowing through it. The energy consumed is directly proportional to the Impedance of the electrical device but is more importantly proportional to the square of the current. WATTS=VOLTS X AMPERES= RESISTANCE (IMPEDANCE) X AMPERES X AMPERES A Circuit with Current but without resistance would exhibit no energy at all.
What type of energy do the circuit the batteries in the circuit have?
Batteries have chemical energy stored inside them. Of course, when they provide a current, this chemical energy is transformed (in part) into electrical energy.
How does connecting an electric device to a battery produce an current in the device?
If we connect a battery to a device and complete a circuit, current will flow in that circuit and through the device. A battery (in good condition) is an electrical storage device. Most of the ones we are familiar with are chemical cells. There are chemicals inside that would like to react, but cannot unless there is an external circuit through which electrons can move to get from one electrode in the battery to the other. The potential chemical energy in a battery can be converted into electrical energy by completing that circuit. There is a force called voltagethat arises between the electrodes of the battery. And this voltage (electromotive force, or EMF) is the way that the chemical potential energy expresses itself. Because the battery can convert chemical potential energy into electricity owing to that EMF between the electrodes, connecting a circuit across the battery will allow current to flow as the chemical reactions in the battery proceed. A very rough analogy can be drawn by looking at gravitational potential energy. If a bowling ball is sitting on the floor and it is lifted onto a table, its gravitational potential energy has been increased. This is distantly similar to the chemical reactions that want to occur in the battery; they are potential energy, too. If the bowling ball rolls off the edge of the table, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy by gravity. When we hook up an external circuit to the battery, the chemical potential energy (expressed as voltage) drives electrical current through that circuit and the device in it. The circuit here is composed of conductors and the device. Electrons in the conductors are hanging around in the conduction band, and if a voltage is applied, those electrons will begin moving in response. The device must be conductive to some extent, and it, too, will have this electron current flowing through it. The battery has been connected to a circuit and drives current through that circuit. The chemical potential energy in the battery is converted into electrical energy in the circuit and the device connected to it.

Device that produces an electric current by converting chemical energy into electrical energy?
A battery is a device that produces an electric current by converting chemical energy into electrical energy. This process involves the movement of ions between electrodes within the battery, generating a flow of electrons through a circuit.
What is a complete pathway for an electric current?
An electric current flows from a power source, such as a battery or power outlet, through a conductive material, like a wire, to a device that uses the electrical energy, and then returns to the power source to complete the circuit. The pathway includes the source of electricity, conductive material, and the device that utilizes the energy.
What part of a circuit dissipates energy?
A: ANY part that uses current to do the work will use some of the input energy to make it operational. this energy is called dissipation of the device and it is wasted as heat
Converting mechanical energy into electrical energy.?
In electricity generation, an electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy. A generator forces electric current to flow through an external circuit.
