Why does a circuit stop working when you remove the battery?

The battery is the power source of the circuit. It supplies current to the circuit and the circuit is simply a path for the current to follow. When you remove the current (battery), the path still exists but there is no current going through it.


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.


Is a car battery a circuit?

Hi, there. A battery is a power supply, a source of potential difference which drives current. In itself, a battery is not a circuit, but if you attach it to a load (a resistance), then a current will form and a circuit is made!


A resistor is required to limit the current taken by a battery when being charged from a 25V dc source. Continued......?

QUESTION (continued from above) ....The battery has negligible resistance and its open-circuit voltage is 20V. Determine the resistance, if the current to the battery is to be limited to 25A.


What causes current to flow from one terminal of the battery to the other?

Current flows from one terminal of a battery to the other due to the movement of electrons within the circuit. When a circuit is completed, electrons are pushed by the battery's voltage to move through the circuit, creating an electric current.


How is a circuit constructed with five resistors and a battery as shown?

A circuit with five resistors and a battery is constructed by connecting the resistors in series or parallel to create a closed loop for the flow of electric current from the battery through the resistors. The battery provides the energy for the current to flow through the resistors, which resist the flow of current. The arrangement of the resistors and the battery determines the overall resistance and current flow in the circuit.


What would the current flow be if a short circuit is put across the battery's terminals?

That will depend on the internal resistance of the battery. I = E / R Where I is the current, E is the open circuit battery voltage, and R is the internal resistance of the battery.


What happens to the current in a circuit if a 1.5 volt battery is removed and is replaced by a 9 volt battery?

If a 1.5 volt battery is replaced by a 9 volt battery in a circuit, the current flowing through the circuit will likely increase. This is because the higher voltage of the 9 volt battery will provide more electromotive force, pushing more current through the circuit, assuming the resistance remains the same.


What is a path that an electric current follows is a?

A path that an electric current follows is typically a closed loop circuit, which allows the flow of electrons from the power source (e.g., battery or generator) through a conductive material or wire, and back to the source completing the circuit. The components in the circuit (e.g., resistors, capacitors, and switches) regulate the flow of current and determine the behavior of the circuit.


What does the electric battery do?

If there is a full circuit, it will send current around it.


When the wires are connected to the terminals of the battery what causes electric current in a circuit?

The resistance of the load is what causes an electric current to flow in a circuit.


In an electric current electricity flow how?

Electricity can flow in an electric circuit by a battery. The battery creates electrons, which flow through the wire, and then go into a light bulb. (That is how a light bulb in a circuit lights up.) A series circuit is a circuit with one wire that electrons can flow through. Also, there can be more than one light bulb connecting to the same wire. A parallel circuit is a circuit with light bulbs that have their own wire.ClarificationThe above answer, unfortunately, perpetuates the myth that current leaves a battery, and finds its way around a circuit. This is not the case at all. It is the load that 'draws' the current from the battery and it is the load that determines the size of that current.
