A circuit carrying current in one direction is called a?
A circuit carrying current in one direction is called a direct current (DC) circuit. In a DC circuit, the flow of electric charge is constant and does not change direction. This is in contrast to an alternating current (AC) circuit, where the flow of electric charge changes direction periodically. DC circuits are commonly used in electronics and power transmission systems.
What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current can follow only one path?
It is called a series circuit.
What circuit is a circuit in which electrical current has more than one path to follow?
A circuit that has more than one path for the current to flow is a parallel circuit. The circuit must have two or more paths to be considered parallel. A circuit that has only one current path through multiple components is a series circuit.
What is voltage error circuit and current error circuit?
A voltage error circuit is called an error amplifier and happens when there are discrepancies between the voltage output and the reference voltage. A current error circuit happens when there is a disruption of flow in an ammeter.
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 difference between the rupturing capacity and the short circuit breaking capacity?
Rupturing capacity:Rupturing capacity or breaking capacity expresses the current that a circuit breaker is capable of breaking at a given recovery voltage under certain set conditions of operation. It is expressed in MVA The set conditions are power factor,recovery voltage and rate of rise of restriking voltage. When the current broken is symmetrical it is called symmetrical breaking capacity. When the current broken is asymmetrical it is called asymmetrical breaking capacity. It is common to designate circuit breaker capacity based on asymmetrical breaking capacity. Breaking capacity of a circuit breaker =√3xVxIx10-6MVA Short circuit breaking capacity: It is the highest value of short circuit current which a circuit breaker is capable of breaking under specified conditions of transient recovery voltage and power frequency voltage. It is expressed in kA. The breaking current is expressed in two ways1)The r.m.s value of a.c component of current at the instant of contact separtation.2)The percentage of d.c component of current at the instant of contact separtation. While selecting the circuit breaker for a particular location in the power system the fault level at that point is determined.
What safety devices provides a weak link in a circuit that will melt if it received too much current thus breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of electricity?
The device that has a melting link in it is called a fuse.
Closed path where electric current can flow is called a?
I guess Electric Circuit....
What is a break in an electrical circuit called?
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.
The opposition to the flow of electrical current?
In a DC circuit . . . resistance. In an AC circuit . . . impedance.
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:)
What is a circuit called if its operating and the current is flowing?
A closed circuit is one where the current is flowing continuously from the source to the load and back to the source, completing a loop. An open circuit, on the other hand, is one where the current cannot flow because the circuit is broken at some point.
What is an electric current that cannot flow called?
An electric current that cannot flow is called an open circuit. This occurs when there is a break in the circuit which prevents the flow of electrons from moving through the circuit.
A device that protects a circuit from current overload is called what?
Fuse, Circuit breaker
The pathway taken by an electric current is a?
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
What is the current called when it flows from and back to the power supply in a parallel circuit?
The current that flows from and back to the power supply in a parallel circuit is called branch current. Each branch in a parallel circuit has its own current flow that combines to form the total current drawn from the power supply.
