current flow
The flow of electricity is called electrical current.
"Insulators"
Resistance.
Series Circuit.
The pathway through which electricity travels is called a circuit. A circuit consists of a closed loop for the flow of electric current.
They are usually called semi-conductors.
A switch in a circuit works by opening or closing a pathway for electricity to flow. When the switch is closed, it completes the circuit and allows electricity to flow through. When the switch is open, it breaks the circuit and stops the flow of electricity. This control of the flow of electricity allows the switch to turn devices on and off in a circuit.
A pathway that electricity travels through is called a circuit. It consists of a closed loop that allows for the flow of electrons from a power source through wires and components, back to the power source.
If you touch an insulator with a conductor carrying electricity, there will be no electrical flow between them because the insulator does not conduct electricity. However, it's important to note that touching the conductor can still be dangerous as you may provide a pathway for the electricity to flow through your body to ground.
The circuits conductor serves as a pathway for current to flow.
Lightning is an example of current electricity because it is the flow of electrons (current) through the atmosphere due to differences in charge buildup in clouds and the ground. This flow of electrons creates a temporary pathway through the air, resulting in the visible discharge of electricity in the form of lightning.
Electricity is attracted to ground because the ground serves as a pathway for excess electric charge to flow and disperse harmlessly. Grounding provides a low-resistance connection point for the electricity to discharge and ensures the safety of electrical systems and equipment.
conductor
To make electricity go where you want it to go, so it will do what you want it to do, you have to provide a pathway along which it can travel, made of conductors, and barriers around that pathway, made of insulators, to keep it from leaking out of the desired pathway.
When a switch does not contain electricity, it represents an open circuit, meaning that the electrical current is not able to flow through the switch. This can be compared to opening a door, where the pathway is blocked and current cannot pass through.
