In theory, you would get infinite current. But, of course, in practise, this cannot happen, as any large current would cause severe damage to the source supplying that current, not to mention the conductors involved. Protection against such currents would be provided by a fuse or circuit breaker.

What is the impact of the flow of current through a wire on its conductivity and resistance?

The flow of current through a wire increases its conductivity and decreases its resistance.


How will you describe the graph of resistance against current?

If resistance is high that time the current flow is low. Bcoz current always flow through the low resistance path.


What is A current does not flow easily through a poor conductor which is also known as?

A current that does not flow easily through a poor conductor is known as resistance. Resistance is a measure of how a material or component reduces the flow of electric current.


Does resistance flow through a circuit?

No. Resistance does not flow. Resistance is the characteristic of a material that resists the movement of electrons and thus the flow of electrical current.


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.


Resistance to current flow is measured in?

Resistance to current flow is measured in ohms, denoted by the symbol Ω. It quantifies how much a material or component impedes the flow of electric current through it.


What amount of resistance has the least amount of current flow?

The higher the resistance, the less current will flow through it (while the supply voltage remains constant).


Does resistance depend upon current?

The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.


The branch in a parallel circuit with the what will have the least amount of current flow?

The branch with the highest resistance will have the least amount of current flow in a parallel circuit. This is because current follows the path of least resistance, so more current will flow through branches with lower resistance.


What opposes the flow of an electric currents?

Resistance in OMS: In alternating current is is measured in impedance.


What is electronic resister?

Electronics resistor are a basic passive element it oppose the flow of current . the opposition depend upon the value of that resistance high value resistance will only able to flow some few amount of current through them. but low value of resistance allow to flow large current through them.


What would happen if they was no resistance?

current would go to a maximum, (if there was voltage present), if there was no voltage, no current would flow. the only thing that would limit the current flow (if voltage is present) is the small resistance of the cables, but say there was no resistance it would be like in a short circuit maximum current would flow at the instant voltage is applied. that is why RCD's work as they should, you want the most amount of current to flow at once because otherwise if the current was limited it would not trip in time to stop someone getting electrocuted.
