A force that keeps current flowing?

Voltage is the force that keeps current flowing in a circuit. It provides the "push" that drives the flow of electrons from one point to another. Without voltage, there would be no driving force to maintain the current flow.


What is a device that keeps too much current from flowing through wires?

closed circuit


Why does the main circuit breaker keep tripping?

The main circuit breaker keeps tripping because there is an overload of electrical current flowing through the circuit, which can be caused by too many appliances running at once, a short circuit, or a faulty electrical component.


What happens to the current in a circuit if a volt battery is removed and is replaced by a 3 volt battery?

The battery cannot be removed quickly! Inductance of the wiring stores energy and keeps the current flowing and decaying smoothly. There will be an opposite polarity, higher voltage pulse on the battery terminals, limited by the circuit capacitance only.


What happens to the current in a circuit if a 1.5-volt battery is removed and is replaced by a 3-volt battery?

The battery cannot be removed quickly! Inductance of the wiring stores energy and keeps the current flowing and decaying smoothly. There will be an opposite polarity, higher voltage pulse on the battery terminals, limited by the circuit capacitance only.


Why does the outlet breaker keep tripping?

The outlet breaker keeps tripping because there is an overload of electrical current flowing through the circuit, causing the breaker to automatically shut off to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.


Why inductor block ac and pass dc?

When your circuit starts up, your inductor creates an electrical current in the opposite direction. With dc, this effect vanished after the circuit is started. With ac, the current keeps starting and stopping so the inductor keeps creating a current in the opposite direction.


What does an electronic ballast do?

Electronic ballast is designed to limit the current which goes through an electrical circuit. This keeps the circuit from overheating or suffering other ill effects from having too much current.

Current electricity and words that describe it?

current electricity is energy that never stops and is what keeps our computer running every day and night.Imagine the current adventurers and the circuit is a tunnel.The advetures moving in the tunnel MOST of them will choose the fast way some will choose the long way.


What is the repair for a 2001 intrigue that keeps blowing a fuse and looses power to windows sunroof and radio?

Fuses blow because too much current is flowing in the circuit. Two main causes of excessive current flow are a short circuit, and a worn motor or stuck part in a drive system. The windows and sunroof are motor driven systems. First you have to isolate the problem. Keep in mind that more than one thing might be causing this, such as two window motors. The best way to isolate the problem is to test each part of the circuit for excessive current. You need an ammeter for this. The proper amount of current is specific to the circuit, but the amount should be well below the fuse rating for that circuit.
