Yes, as long as the unbroken path is a good conductor of electricity.

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.


A complete electric circuit includes a voltage source current wires and something to ground the flow of current?

If you ground the flow of current like the last part of your question states you will not have a complete circuit as the circuit will open on a short circuit. To make a complete circuit operate you need a power source, an overload device to protect the conductors of the circuit, conductors to carry the current and a load across the power source which causes the current to flow in the circuit. Leave any one of these things out and you will not have a complete circuit.


Why is generator armature harder to rotate when it is connected to a circuit and supplying electric current?

Because a generator extracts energy from whatever is rotating it and passes this (by the electric current it produces) down the circuit to the motor (or light bulb or heater) where it is used. When there is no complete electric circuit, no electricity can flow so no (little) energy is extracted, but when the circuit is closed, electricity does flow and the armature is more difficult to turn.


The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the what?

The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the resistance.


How does a switch control an electric device?

A switch basically represents a gap in the electric circuit. Electric current can pass through a circuit only if it is complete. An incomplete circuit can never pass a current through it. When the switch is in the 'off' position, the circuit has a break (gap) in it. When you put the switch in 'on' position, the circuit wire join and the circuit gets completed.

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 do we call a complete unbroken path for electrons to allow?

A continuous unbroken path of electrons is a closed circuit. If there is an opening, then it is an open circuit.


Is an unbroken path through which an electric current can flow?

What is the name for the unbroken path the current follows?

That would be called a 'circuit' or 'closed circuit'.


For an electric current to flow does there have to be a complete circuit?

yes


Closed path where electric current can flow is called a?

I guess Electric Circuit....


A complete path for electric current to follow is called a?

An Electric PathA complete path for an electric current to follow is called a closed circuit. Ampere is the SI unit for measuring an electric current.


Does a complete circuit have closed and electric current flows?

Yes, a complete circuit has a closed loop for the electric current to flow. A closed circuit allows the flow of electrons from the negative terminal of the battery to the positive terminal, completing the circuit and powering the devices connected.


What is The complete path of an electric current described as?

The complete path of an electric current is described as a closed loop circuit. This means that the current flows from the power source through a continuous path of conductive materials, such as wires and components, and back to the power source. Without a closed loop, the current cannot flow continuously and the circuit will not work.


What is the complete path for an electric current to follow called?

The complete path for an electric current to follow is called a circuit. It includes a closed loop with a source of electricity, conductive material, and devices that use the electricity.


What is the name for the unbroken path that current follows?

That would be called a 'circuit' or 'closed circuit'.
