What is short circuit?
Short circuit is the case when electricity, instead of travel through the design circuit path, jump across an unintended low resistance path and bypass the design circuit.A short circuit is a path for an electric current to travel through where there is very little resistance. This path is often, but not always, through a wire connected directly to a ground, and is often, but not always, unintentional.
What circuit is it when electrical current has two or more paths to follow?
A circuit in which electricity only flows in one path is called a series circuit.
What is a path through which current flows?
A path through which current flows is generally called a circuit. Some might say a complete circuit to denote a "closed loop" through which electricity can leave one electrode or contact on a voltage source, travel through some conductors of some kind, and then return to the other electrode or contact on the source.
What is the name for the unbroken path that current follows?
That would be called a 'circuit' or 'closed circuit'.
A connection that allows current to take an unintended path?
"short circuit"
When electricity takes the easy path what type of circuit is involved?
Electricity takes the path of least resistance. When the electricity travels outside of the circuit, rather than through it, it is called a short circuit.
What is the path the electricity takes called?
The path electricity takes is called a circuit.
What is the electricity takes called?
The path electricity takes is called a circuit.
What do you call the path electricity takes?
The electrical path is termed an electrical circuit.
What is the path that the electricity takes from its source to a load and back?
a circuit
Occurs when electricity takes a new path that is shorter than normal?
When electricity takes a new path that is shorter than normal or in the electrical trade it is know as, current taking the path of least resistance, it is known as a short circuit.
What is the path electricity path?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
A path that electricity can move through is called?
the complete path that electricity can move through is called
Why does metal complete a circuit when you plug it into an outlet?
Metal is a good conductor of electricity hence it gives an easy path and completes the circuit.
What is the path which electricity travels called?
The path of electricity is called a circuit.
What is the difference in an open circuit and a short circuit?
an open circuit is a circuit that does not complete the circle. an open circuit does not do the job as the electricity stands still a short circuit is a circuit that wires have crossed and the electricity takes the shortest path. and does not complete all of the points on the circuit
A path for electricity is called an?
A Circuit
