Why does the string of lights go out if 1 goes out?
This type of circuit is called a series circuit. Each bulb becomes a part of the circuit and if one burns out or is removed the circuit is open and electricity no longer flows through it. If you draw a circle and mark an 'x' on its rim and call that the power source. The electricity flows out and through each light and back to the source. If you erase a part of the circle, to represent a blown bulb, the circuit is broken and the electricity does not flow.
What do you call a country that splits in two?
A country that splits in two is typically referred to as a divided country or a partitioned country.
Why does the breaker trip after changing a receptacle?
I do not even know that it is the light switch that is popping your circuit breaker! It may be the switch or something else. The light switch controls a circuit. As electricity passes through that circuit it is heating up a contact or a weak place in a wire. At a certain point that hot place in a connector or in a wire allows the electricity to jump out of the circuit and not go through the light. When that happens, the circuit breaker pops. You can turn off the circuit breaker. Then you can look at the connectors on your light switch. If one of them looks burned, You have solved the problem. You replace the light switch. Next comes the more difficult task of looking at the connectors for your lamp. If they are not easy to get to, you call an electrician.
How can you work safely with electricity at home?
The safest way to work with electricity in any place is to de-energize the circuit and test with a meter or hot stick. We prefer meters because hot sticks are very unreliable and sometimes to sensitive. Always test a meter or hot stick on a known live circuit before relying on it. Even if you are 100% positive the circuit is de-energize you should pretend its not and respect it. Electricity can kill you, regardless of the voltage or amps. Any voltage or amperage can kill! If your not a pro, call one!
What do we call a complete unbroken path for electrons to allow?
A continuous unbroken path of electrons is a closed circuit. If there is an opening, then it is an open circuit.
What do you call the path where electricity flow?
"Circuit."
What do you call the path electricity takes?
The electrical path is termed an electrical circuit.
What do you call the flow of electricity in an electrical system?
a closed circuit
What do you call electricity that stays in one place?
Static electricity.
What do you call the push of electricity?
The push of electricity is called voltage. Voltage is the force that pushes electric charges through a circuit.
What is the pathway of the flow of electricity?
wirebuss barelectric railetc.
What do we call it when electricity flows from a cell or battery through a bulb and back to the cell or battery?
Closed circuit.
What do you call materials that let electricity flow though?
Conductors are what the electrons flow through, in a single electric current called a circuit. Hence circuit breakers on conductors.

What do you call splits in the earth's crust?
Rupture or fault.
What do you call a path along which electricity travels?
an open circuit
What do you call a country that splits in two?
A country that splits in two is typically referred to as a divided country or a partitioned country.
