Current is the flow of electric charge or the rate of the flow of an electric charge through a conductor.

How parallel and series circuit different?

In a series circuit, current has to pass through each part of the circuit. In a parallel circuit, the current has several alternative paths.


What happen when there is a break in the path circuit?

Current through that part of the circuit will stop.


How to measure current?

To measure current, you would typically use a multimeter set to the appropriate current measurement range. First, ensure the circuit is off, then connect the multimeter in series with the part of the circuit you want to measure the current flowing through. Turn on the circuit to get a reading of the current flowing through that part of the circuit. Remember to set the multimeter to the correct range for the expected current to avoid damaging the meter.


What happens as a current flows through a parallel circuit?

if the circuit is a series circuit (all loads wired in a single line , one after the other ) then the current will be the same in any part of the circuit . if there are several different paths for the current to take , then each path will carry a different percentage of the total current . when each of these different current values are added together , they will equal the total supplied current.


The part of a circuit that closes or opens a circuit?

Generally a circuit breaker (like a light switch) But I guess you could use a resistor of the right resistance If you are talking about the circuit breaker there is an electromagnetic coil in it which get magnetized on a specific amount of current and breaks the circuit


What is a circuit in which the parts are joined one after another such that the current in each part is the same?

That's a series circuit.


Does the voltage increase when current moves through the circuit?

If a buck boost converter is a part of the circuit, then it is possible.


What is a circuit with no current running through it?

Such a circuit either has no voltage source, or some part of the circuit is open, e.g., an open switch.


What is used to measure the intensity of current flow in a circuit or branch in a circuit and is wired in series with the circuit being evaluated?

An ammeter is used to measure the intensity of current flow in a circuit or branch in a circuit. It is wired in series with the circuit being evaluated to accurately measure the current passing through that specific part of the circuit.


What will happen if part of the circuit is not properly connected?

Current stops flowing.


What is the part of a circuit that connects or disconnects the circuit?

Switches, fuses and circuit breakers are examples of some of the electrical parts which can connect or disconnect a circuit to a source of current. A diode does it for alternating current, but only for one half of each cycle. "Connecting" allows an electric current to flow through the circuit. "Disconnecting" stops an electric current from flowing through the circuit.


What is the iffrence between a series circuit and parallel circuit?

Series circuit: elements are connected one after the other; the current (the electrons, or other charge carriers) has to pass through each of the elements in turn. Parallel circuit: elements are connected in such a way that part of the current will pass through one circuit element, part through the other.
