What else can I help you with?
The term for the flow of electrons through a circuit is?
electric current
What device is needed for current to flow in an electric circuit?
Too vague of a question. As long as it is a closed circuit it will flow.
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 effect does decreased resistance have on a circuit?
resistance is the opposition to the flow of an electric current, therefore the current will decrease as the resistance increases. Resistance also creates heat. This is how the light globes in a circuit light up.
How current electricity moves in a circuit?
You need a source of electrical potential difference, also known as voltage (which is the technical term for what for you call "electric pressure"). The easiest and most common voltage source is a household battery. Hook up the positive electrode of the battery using a conductor (eg. a copper wire) to one end of your circuit and the negative electrode to the other end, and voila, you'll have electric current flowing through your circuit.
What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What causes a current in an electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
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 does the electric current flow?
An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).
What is the electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to is?
The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the resistance.
What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
When a circuit is closed, meaning there is a complete path for the electric current to flow, the current will flow from the positive terminal of the voltage source through the circuit components and back to the negative terminal. This flow of current allows electrical energy to be transferred and work to be done in the circuit.
Closed path where electric current can flow is called a?
I guess Electric Circuit....
What is an electric current that cannot flow called?
An electric current that cannot flow is called an open circuit. This occurs when there is a break in the circuit which prevents the flow of electrons from moving through the circuit.
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.
The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the what?
The electric force that makes current flow in a circuit is related to the resistance.
In a circuit electric current is flow of?
It is a flow of electrons.
Which part of a circuit is a current?
Current is the flow of electric charge or the rate of the flow of an electric charge through a conductor.
