What does a Voltmeter do in a circuit?
A voltmeter measures the voltage present in the circut. Voltage is the amount of energy available to push charges through an electric circut.
What are normally open and close circuits?
The electric path which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery ends at its negative terminal, without any break, is called closed electric circuit or complete electric circuit. The electric path,which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery, is broken at some point, is called open electric circuit or incomplete electric circuit.
Why does an electric circuit have to be closed for it to work?
yes it does have to be a closed circuit
What is the electric circuit where current flows through all parts of the circuit?
complex circuit
If the different parts of an electric circuit are found on separate branches of the circuit then what is that circuit called?
parallel
Which electrical component in a circuit provides energy to drive electric charges around a circuit?
Power source such as a battery if u pluged it in it will supply energy to drive electric charges around a circuit
Is there any voltage from a battery in an open circuit?
Voltage is a measure of electric 'push'. When there's nothing to push (no circuit) it has no meaning, but that isn't to say it isn't there. Just the same as if you push a car. Take the car away and your push goes away. (or does it?)
What is the function of a cell in an electrical circuit?
it's function is to supply energy(electric)
My electric char broiler keeps shutting off my circuit breaker?
Apparently, the broiler draws more electricity than the circuit provides.
How does voltage cause current to work?
Voltage provides the "pressure" to push current "flow" through the circuit resistance.
What is a light bulb in a circuit?
a lamp in an elctrical circuit provides light and partly heat. a lamp in an elctrical circuit provides light and partly heat.
Can 2 cells push electric current harder round a circuit?
were u doing the rue and false worksheet for science
Is a gas stove a resistance in physical science?
No. By definition a resistor provides opposition to the flow of "energy" in a circuit. Electric stoves and ovens operate by using the heat generated by the resistance to electric flow provided by resisting elements in the circuit.
What provides the voltage difference in an electric circuit?
Voltage sources provide the voltage difference across an electrical circuit, these may be batteries, generators, alternators, solar cells, etc.
The pathway taken by an electric current is a?
The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)
What causes a electric current in a electric circuit?
Voltage causes current to flow in an electric circuit.
What is an electric circuit what is it used for and where would you find one?
Electric circuits are everywhere. In your car, home, office, your digital watch, your cell phone and on and on. The electric circuit that makes up your cell phone provides the local user interface and connects to a cell tower to allow you to make and receive calls.
