yes... this is possible if a diode i connected in reverse bias with a battery and a resistor for example. A diode in reverse bias means its anode will be connected to positive terminal of the battery and its cathode to the negative terminal of the battery. In such a case, minimal current flows through the circuit which can be neglected.

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 relationship between the electric field and current in a circuit?

The electric field in a circuit is directly related to the current flowing through it. The electric field is what drives the flow of electric charge, which is the current. In other words, the presence of an electric field is necessary for current to flow in a circuit.


Why can't an electric current exist if the circuit is broken?

If the electric circuit is broken, there will be no medium for transfer of electrons and flow of current. Hence, electric current does not exist.


What is the name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that cant flow?

The name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that can't flow is called a Closed Circuit. Electric current cannot flow through an open circuit.


When you turn on a light or other electric appliance you close a circuit?

Yes, turning on a light or electric appliance completes a circuit by allowing current to flow from the power source, through the appliance, and back to the power source. This flow of electrons enables the appliance to function and produce light or perform its intended task.
