What is a electrical circuit?

An electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an electrical circuit that is between the electrons' starting point and the point where they return to the source is called an electrical circuit's "load". ---Nerd


What is the type of circuit called when it has an conductor a switch a electric cell a resistor?

The type of circuit you are describing is known as a simple circuit. It consists of a power source (electric cell), a switch, a conductor (usually wire), and a resistor to control the flow of electric current.


What is current in the battery called?

A battery contains a charge of electrons. When these electrons leave the battery and travel through a circuit that is described as current.


The constant flow of electrons through a complete circuit?

The constant flow of electrons through a complete circuit is known as electric current. It is measured in amperes (A) and is driven by a voltage difference between two points in the circuit. The flow of current allows electrical energy to be transferred and used to power devices.


What is the movement of electrons along a conductor called?

It is called, "electric current", and is measured in "Amperes".

What are the numbers electrons flowing called?

The flow of electrons in a circuit is called electric current. It is measured in amperes (A) and represents the rate at which electric charge flows through a circuit.


What is an electric current that cannot flow called?

An electric current that cannot flow is called an open circuit. This occurs when there is a break in the circuit which prevents the flow of electrons from moving through the circuit.

What is the force that causes electrons to move in an electrical circuit?

The force that causes electrons to move in an electrical circuit is called voltage. Voltage is the difference in electric potential between two points in a circuit, which creates an electric field that pushes the electrons to flow from the higher potential to the lower potential.


The current that flows in an electric circuit carries what?

Current Carries Negatively charged electrons.


What is the source of the electrons in a circuit?

The source of electrons in a circuit is supplied by an electric potential difference across two points . This potential difference in a circuit is called as voltage and is measured in joules per coulomb or volts.


What is a path of electric conductors called?

The path of electric conductors is called a complete circuit. It lets electrons a path to flow from their source to the load and back again.


What goes around a circuit?

Charge, in the form of electrons, flow through a circuit. This is called electric current. 1 amp = 1 coulomb of charge per second flowing past a point in the circuit.


What is electical circuits?

It is a way in which electrons from a voltage or current source stream. Electric current stream in a shut way is called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is known as the source of electrons.


The steady flow of electrons through a conductor is?

called electric current. It is measured in amperes (A) and is the movement of electric charge carriers, such as electrons, through a closed path or circuit. Electric current is essential for powering electrical devices and transmitting energy.


What is the positive end of a battery and how does it affect the flow of electricity within a circuit?

The positive end of a battery is called the anode. It provides a source of electrons that flow through the circuit to the negative end, called the cathode. This flow of electrons creates an electric current that powers the devices connected to the circuit.


Closed path where electric current can flow is called a?
