If that pathway is to ground, it is called a short circuit. It should blow fuses or circuit breakers but can cause fires if protective devices are not functioning right.
Electric charges interact through the electromagnetic force, which can be attractive (opposite charges) or repulsive (like charges). The strength of the interaction is dictated by the distance between the charges and their magnitudes. When charges are in motion, they can also produce magnetic fields that further influence their interaction.
That material would be included in the category of electrical "insulators".
The pushing power of an electrical source is referred to as voltage. Voltage is a measure of the electromotive force that causes electric charges to flow in a circuit. It is measured in volts (V) and determines how strongly the electrical source can push charges through a circuit.
It is called an electric current.
Yes the circuit needs to have no breaks or have the switch open to let the electrons pass through.
A flow of electrical charges running through a medium is known as an electrical current.
If something doesn't let electrical charges to flow through easily, it is called an electrical insulator.
Electric charges with a closed pathway to follow can move. If there is a complete circuit with no breaks or gaps, charges such as electrons can flow through the pathway due to the presence of a voltage source, thereby creating an electric current.
The form of energy carried by moving electrical charges is electrical energy. It is the energy associated with the flow of electrons through a conductor.
Conductors
Electric Current.
Electrical charges flow when there is a potential difference between two points in a conductor, creating an electric field. This field exerts a force on the charges, causing them to move through the conductor. The flow of electrical charges is known as an electric current.
When a voltage source is suddenly connected to an electrical circuit, causing a current to flow through a capacitor, the capacitor initially acts like a short circuit, allowing a large current to flow. As the capacitor charges up, the current decreases until it reaches a steady state where the capacitor is fully charged and no current flows through it.
Lightning is considered a form of static electricity because it involves the buildup and discharge of electrical charges in the atmosphere. Just like static electricity, lightning occurs when there is an imbalance of positive and negative charges that are suddenly neutralized through a rapid flow of electricity.
No, static charges do not flow continuously. They remain stationary on an object or surface until they are discharged through a conductive pathway.
5amps of current will flow it
Yes, when electrical charges flow through a conductor with resistance, some of the electrical energy is converted into heat. This is called Joule heating, where the resistance in the conductor causes the electrical energy to be dissipated as heat.
