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 the condition that limits the flow of electrons in an electric circuit is called?

The condition that limits the flow of electrons in an electric circuit is called resistance. Resistance is measured in ohms and is caused by factors such as the material of the conductor, its length, and its cross-sectional area.


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


An electrical charge in motion called?

An electrical charge in motion is called an electric current. It is the flow of electric charge through a conductor, such as a wire, due to the movement of electrons. Electric currents are essential for powering electrical devices and circuits.


What is the ability to transmit electrical currents called?

The ability to transmit electrical currents is called conductivity. Materials that conduct electricity well are known as conductors, while those that do not conduct electricity are known as insulators.

What is the path for transmitting electric currents?

Electric currents flow from the source through the circuit and back to the source in materials called conductors.


The pathway taken by an electric current is a?

The term is "circuit" (from the same root as circle) An electric circuit must be uninterrupted for the current to flow. (This is why circuit-breakers are also called circuit-interruptors.)


Closed path where electric current can flow is called a?

I guess Electric Circuit....

What is a break in an electrical circuit called?

A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open circuit.


What is a loop of electrical conductors called?

A loop of electrical conductors is called a circuit. It provides a path for electric current to flow.


What is the energy associated with electric current is called?

The energy associated with electric current is called electrical energy. It is the energy that is transferred by the flow of electric charge through a conductor, typically measured in units of watt-hours or kilowatt-hours.


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.


If the different parts of an electric circuit are found on separate branches of the circuit then what is that circuit called?

parallel


The machine that measures electric currents generated by neurons is called?

Electrons


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 are normally open and close circuits?

The electric path which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery ends at its negative terminal, without any break, is called closed electric circuit or complete electric circuit. The electric path,which starts from the positive terminal of a cell or battery, is broken at some point, is called open electric circuit or incomplete electric circuit.
