What is a switch that opens a cuircut when too much current is flowing?
Where I'm from, it's called a "circuit breaker".A circuit breaker.
When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction what current is there?
It is called an alternating current
The constant flow of electrons through a complete circuit?
That is called electrical current.
What is through a discontinuous circuit which no current can flow?
meaning that the current from your power source doesn't return to the positive end (electricity flows from - negative, to + positive)
Why flow of electrons is considered as current?
Because that's basically what "current" means - that there is something that flows. For comparison, water flowing in a river is also called a "current".
A loop with a break in it that prevents current from flowing is called?
an open circuit.
What is a circuit path called that has a break in it preventing current from flowing?
That's an "open" circuit.
What is meant by wattless current?
Current flowing through an ac circuit in which power consumed is zero is called wattless current.
What measures the flowing in a circuit?
The flow in a circuit is called the electric current and it is measured by voltages. The number of volts that are present in the charge will determine the strength of the electric current.
What is the name of the circuit has current flowing in a loop from the negative battery terminal in the positive battery terminal?
its called a direct current aka DC
What is a switch that opens a cuircut when too much current is flowing?
Where I'm from, it's called a "circuit breaker".A circuit breaker.
What is the name of flowing electricity?
Flowing electricity is called electric current.
What is the ability to regulate the amount of charge flowing in a circuit is called?
Resistance is the ability to regulate the amount of charge flowing in a circuit.
Describe the path of a current in a complete circuit?
An operating circuit, is by definition, complete. The electrons in a DC circuit flow from the -ve terminal of the power source, through the various components and switches etc, then to the +ve terminal of the power source.
What is the charge flowing per second in a circuit?
The numerical representation of one coulomb of charge moving past a point in a circuit per second is called an ampere.
Is it dangerous for a earth wire to be hanging in the kitchen?
No. An earth wire (commonly called a ground wire) has no current flowing through it. It is simply a wire connected to the ground to discharge electrical current in a circuit.
A circuit carrying current in one direction is called a?
Direct current circuit.
