what switches a current of electricity if it gets to high is that it overloads a system (which is called a surge (if sudden)) also if you do it manually it is the disruption in the circuit that stops the flow of electricity entirely.

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.


What device used to stop and start the flow of electricity in a circuit is a?

A switch is a device that stops and starts current flow in a circuit.


An object that stops the flow of electricity is called?

An object that stops the flow of electricity is called an insulator. Insulators prevent the movement of electric charges and are commonly used to protect against electric shocks or to control the flow of electricity in circuits. Examples of insulators include rubber, plastic, and glass.


What elements allow electricity to pass through?

Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A circuit lets electricity flow through it.Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons. Conductors are metal, usually copper or aluminum.Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.Metals are good conductors. They provide little opposition (resistance) to the flow of currentNote that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A conductor lets electrons easily flow in it.


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 stops the electrical current?

An insulator such as rubber or plastic can stop the flow of electrical current by preventing the movement of electrons. Additionally, a switch can be used to interrupt the circuit and halt the flow of electricity.
