Statis electricity is a kind of electricity What is this electricity type?

To whom it may concern, Did you mean to ask what is static electricity?? If so the term static, which means stays the same, means the electricity in a circuit is static; it does not change direction and electrons only have 1 path to travel. An example of a static circuit would be a DC ( Direct Current) circuit, whereas an AC circuit; alternating current, alternates between 120v to 0v, then 0 to negative 120, back to 0v, then to positive 120v, however, this happens at so fast you would never catch a reading on a multi meter.


What determines if a circuit is open or closed?

A circuit is considered open if there is a gap in the path for electricity to flow, causing the current to stop. A circuit is closed when there is a complete, unbroken path for the electrical current to travel through.


What kind of circuit will not allow electricity to flow because there is a disconnection or the switch is off?

All electricity or electronic circuits will not allow the current to flow if they have switching devices in series in their circuits.


How does wood react to electricity in a circuit?

Wood is an insulator and does not conduct electricity. It will not allow electricity to flow through it like a conductor would, so it will not be affected by electricity in a circuit.


How does a circuit turn a switch on and off?

A switch makes a physical break in the electric circuit. With the circuit broken the electricity can not flow. When the switch is turned the other way the circuit is completed and the current/electricity can flow.

Is an open switch in an electrical circuit to prevent current flow?

Yes, an open switch breaks the circuit and prevents electricity flowing through. A closed switch on the other hand completes the circuit and in turn helps electricity travel through the circuit.

What is a circuit What can you use it for?

In electronics, a circuit is a complete circular path that electricity flows through. A simple circuit consists of a current source, conductors and a load. The term circuit can be used in a general sense to refer to any fixed path that electricity, data or a signal can travel through.
