We will take an analogy here. Like you(electron) are very exhausted and want to return home(your positively charged beautiful wife) as quickly as possible. Now you start your car and find that there is a huge jam(resistance) on highway(a path). Now if there is an alternate road with lesser traffic you will surely analyse the number of cars(positive ions), length of road(length of conductor), width of road(area of conductor) and thenyou will take best possible way. Similarly the electrons take the path which is small in length, big in area and least positive ions so that collisions are less. In other words they take the path of least resistance.
What else can I help you with?
The path that a electrical current travels?
A path that is made for an electric current is called a circuit. The two main components in a circuit are the load and a source which are combined with conductors and as a whole form a circuit.
What is an unintended high-current closed connection between two points in a circuit called?
short or short circuit
How do you add resistance in parallel circuit?
the formula is 1/RT = 1/R1 + 1/R2 +.... + 1/Rn RT being total R1 being resistance in first path R2 being resistance in parallel path
How does a vent prevent siphonage?
The soil vent in the waste line breaks the siphon that would drain traps and toilet bowls by providing a path of least resistance for air pressure. see link
Would thick wires tend to have the least amount of eletrical resistance?
Yes, the resistance is directly proportional to length of wire and inversely proportional Area, hence when Length of wire increases the resistance also increases and when Area increases the resistance decreases. This means a thick wire has least amount of Electrical resistance.
What is the path of energy flow?
The path of least resistance.
What determines the flow of electricity along the path of least resistance?
Electricity flows along the path of least resistance due to Ohm's Law, which states that current will follow the path with the least resistance. This means that the flow of electricity is determined by the resistance of the material through which it is passing.
What is the shortest path called which electricity takes?
Path of Least Resistance.
How is electricity similar to water in that both will follow the path of least resistance?
Electricity and water are similar in that they both follow the path of least resistance. Just as water flows through the easiest route, electricity will also flow through the path that offers the least resistance.
What is the path that an electrical current travels?
electric current
Does electricity always follow the path of least resistance?
Electricity does not always follow the path of least resistance. It can follow multiple paths, with some current flowing through higher resistance paths.
Why does electricity take the path of least resistance?
Electricity takes the path of least resistance because it follows the easiest route to flow through a circuit. This is due to the nature of electrical currents, which always seek the path with the least resistance to minimize energy loss and heat generation.
Does current flow through a circuit by taking the path of least resistance?
No, current does not flow through a circuit by taking the path of least resistance. Instead, current flows through all available paths in a circuit, with the amount of current in each path determined by the resistance of that path.
Light and electricity follows the path of?
Light and electricity follow the path of least resistance.
What path electricity flow through?
like water it follows the path of least resistance
How is electricy conducted?
electricity follows the path of least resistance.
What does an electric current always follow?
The path of least resistance.
