This circuit is a series circuit, as the current flows sequentially through resistor 1, then through resistor 2, before returning to the battery. The same current passes through both resistors, and the total resistance is the sum of their individual resistances. The voltage across the circuit is divided between the two resistors according to their resistance values. Additionally, if one resistor fails, the entire circuit will be interrupted, stopping the current flow.

What simple complete circuit must have wires connected to a?
A simple complete circuit must have a power source (like a battery), a load (such as a light bulb or motor), and connecting wires to link the components. The wires allow electric current to flow from the power source to the load and back, completing the circuit. If any part of this circuit is broken or disconnected, the flow of electricity stops, and the load will not function.
An alternating current consists of charges that?
move back and forth in a circuit. :)
What happens when you disconnect a light bulb from a series cicuit?
Dear Wiki Questioner, When you disconnect a light bulb from a series circuit, the entire circuit is broken and no electricity can flow around it... so everything else on the circuit looses access to the power source! You can think of a series circuit as a relay race, where the runners are the bulbs and wires (and anything else that is connected to the circuit). If any one of the runners in a relay race is taken out of the race (say by a sprained ankle), the relay gets stuck and the team cannot complete the race (that is to say, the electricity cannot make a complete circuit). Of course, if you plug that runner back into the system, the race continues as usual!
What are parts of the simple circuits?
A simple circuit contains the minimum things needed to have a functioning electric circuit. It requires three things: 1. A source of electrical potential difference or voltage. (typically a battery or electrical outlet) 2. A conductive path which would allow for the movement of charges. (typically made of wire) 3. An electrical resistance (resistor) which is loosely defined as any object that uses electricity to do work. (a light bulb, electric motor, heating element, speaker, etc.) Despite being considered simple, such circuits are useful and quite common. Examples include flashlights and doorbells. it also needs a way to get to the light and a way back from the light so it can function properly or even work at all.
How do you change a battery in a flashlight?
Depends on model, typically unwitting the back or front
What type of circuit would be used in a battery operated torch?
A simple series circuit is typically used in a battery-operated torch. This circuit allows for the flow of current from the battery through the light bulb, providing illumination. The components are connected in a loop, where the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the light bulb and then back to the negative terminal of the battery.
How a simple electrical circuit works?
This is most easily answered in a diagram but I will give it my best shot. The simplest electrical circuit consists of a battery, 2 conductors (wires), and a light. Electrons flow from the battery through the light and back to the battery. At this level of simplicity it is helpful to think of a bucket, 2 hoses, and a pump. To work like an electrical circuit, both hoses have to be full of water to begin with. When the pump is activated the water flows from the bucket, through the pump, and back to the bucket. Anything that interferes with the flow of water shuts off the water flow, called current in electrical circuits. ==== A simple circuit is a battery and a resistor. When they are connected, in the resistor current flows down a potential gradient, which produces heat.
How does a capacitor connected to a battery store and release electrical energy?
A capacitor connected to a battery stores electrical energy by accumulating opposite charges on its plates, creating an electric field. When the capacitor is connected to a circuit, it releases stored energy by allowing the charges to flow back through the circuit, creating an electric current.
From which terminal of a battery are electrons pushed?
electrons come from the negative terminal, then goes around the complete circuit (clockwise) and comes back to the positive terminal. hope that helps!
How potential energy arises from the battery?
Potential energy in a battery arises from the chemical reactions occurring within it. When a battery is charged, chemical energy is stored in the battery in the form of potential energy. This potential energy is then converted back into electrical energy when the battery is connected to a circuit.
How does the battery current flow in an electrical circuit?
In an electrical circuit, the battery current flows from the positive terminal of the battery, through the circuit components, and back to the negative terminal of the battery in a continuous loop.
What happens when the circuit is closed?
When a circuit is closed, it forms a complete path for the flow of electric current from the power source (such as a battery) through the circuit components (resistors, capacitors, etc.) and back to the power source. This allows electrical energy to be transferred and used to power devices connected to the circuit.
Is a torch connected in series or parallel?
A torch typically has its battery connected in series with the light bulb, creating a simple circuit. This means the electrical current flows from the battery through the bulb and back to the battery in a continuous loop, allowing the light to work.
What is the flow of electrons around a circuit?
In a circuit, electrons flow from the negative terminal of the power source (e.g., battery) through the conductive wires and components, such as resistors and light bulbs, back to the positive terminal. This flow creates an electric current that powers the devices connected in the circuit.
What do we call it when electricity flows from a cell or battery through a bulb and back to the cell or battery?
Closed circuit.
Examples of circuit diagram of transfer function?
An battery to light and back or Wires to TV and back.
What are the multiple connected pathways through which electric current flows?
Electric current flows through multiple connected pathways in a circuit, including conductive materials like wires, resistors, capacitors, and other components. These pathways form a complete loop for the current to flow from the power source (such as a battery) through the circuit and back again. The flow of current is driven by the potential difference, or voltage, between the two ends of the circuit.
