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.
Are no load and short circuit similar?
No. No load and short circuit is not similar. No load can be 1) Either open circuit i.e. Only Potential is available and load is not connected 2) Load (i.e. motor etc ) is connected but not working with full load or full capacity. In this case the current will flow through the circuit depending on the load. It means No load condition is a condition where no current or a small ( relative / comparative term) current is flowing through the circuit. In Short circuit the load side resistance/ impedance become so less that very high amount of current is passing through circuit.( The protection is therefor required for any circuit) No load and and short circuit is not similar.

Difference between electronic and electrical appliances?
The ELECTRICAL device is in which the current passes through a CONDUCTOR and the ELECTRONIC device is in which the current passes through a SEMICONDUCTOR.
Which term refers to the number of electrons that move through a conductor in one second?
That description doesn't fit any electrical term, probably because it's not useful.The number of electrons passing a single point in the conductor in one secondis proportional to the electrical current, and is described in units of amperes.
What is the the term for a semiconductor that is missing electrons?
p-type semiconductor A semiconductor that is missing electrons is called an electron hole.
What is the term used to describe a path for electrons to flow?
The term used to describe a path for electrons to flow is a "circuit." A circuit is a closed loop that allows the flow of electricity from a power source through components and back to the source.
What is the term for the flow of electrons through the insulating material of a capacitor?
The term for the flow of electrons through the insulating material of a capacitor is called "dielectric breakdown."
Is an unbroken path through which an electric current can flow?
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 term is used for the energy transferred by a cell to the current?
The term used for the energy transferred by a cell to the current is "voltage." It is the potential difference created by the cell's battery that drives the flow of electrons through a circuit.
What term refers to the flow of electricity?
The term that refers to the flow of electricity is "electric current." It is the movement of electric charge carriers, usually electrons, through a conductor.
What is the term for a material through which electrons do not readily flow?
This would likely be an "insulator" as opposed to a conductor.
What is the term for opposition to current flow within a circuit?
The term Impedance (Z) is used to quantify the opposition to current flow in a circuit.
What is the term for flow performed by electricity?
The term for flow performed by electricity is called "electric current." It is the movement of electrically charged particles, such as electrons, through a conducting material.
What does a switch do in circuit?
The actual term for switch is to turn a light on and off. Another term for it is that you can put in a circuit board and when it is joined to the other side the electricity will flow through and when it is unattached the electricity will not flow through.
What current is in term of electricity?
Flow of electrons, the more there are the higher the current. Imagine water travelling through a pipe,.
What does a circuit breaker do in scientific terms?
It does what is says, breaks the circuit. The actual term for this is creating an Open. Current can only flow through a complete circuit, so if there is an open(break) in the circuit, current will not continue to run.
What is the term for something electricity can flow through?
The term for something that electricity can flow through is a conductor. Conductors are materials that allow the flow of electric current due to the presence of free electrons that can move easily. Examples of conductors include metals like copper and aluminum.
