Why must a circuit be closed in order for a current to flow?

A circuit must be closed in order for a current to flow because it helps keep a current flow pass. When the switch is closed on a circuit there is a constant flow. When the switches open the flow is disturbed around the circuit.


Closed switch does not allow voltage to pass through it?

When a switch is closed, it forms a complete circuit which allows voltage to flow through the circuit. This completes the path for electricity to move from the power source through the circuit. In other words, closing a switch allows the flow of current and voltage through the circuit.


What do you call the complete path that an electric current flows through?

The complete path that an electric current flows through is called an electric circuit. It includes components like wires, switches, and resistors that allow the flow of electricity in a closed loop.


When does the electric current flow?

An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).An electric current will flow if there is a voltage, and a conducting path (usually a closed circuit is required).


What is the name for the unbroken path the current follows?

That would be called a 'circuit' or 'closed circuit'.

What is a closed path through which current can flow?

A closed path through which a current can flow is called a circuit. Electric Circuit:)


What cause a series circuit to work and not work?

A series circuit will work if there is a closed path through which the current can pass, and a voltage source. Otherwise it won't.


What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?

When a circuit is closed, meaning there is a complete path for the electric current to flow, the current will flow from the positive terminal of the voltage source through the circuit components and back to the negative terminal. This flow of current allows electrical energy to be transferred and work to be done in the circuit.

What is required for current to flow through an electrical current?

Potential Source connected across a Closed Circuit Path.


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.

Why is it necessary to have a closed circut to have a complete transfer of energy?

A closed circuit ensures that there is a continuous path for the flow of electrons, allowing a complete transfer of energy. When the circuit is open, there is no complete path for the energy to flow, resulting in a disruption of the transfer process.


What happened when one bulb was removed in series comnnection why?

The circuit will be interrupted. There will be no closed path through which the current can flow.


What is the evidence that an electrical circuit is closed?

When that circuit has no breaks. It is an endless path of current flow.


What is a normally open momentary push button?

A normally-open, momentary push button is a type of switch. When a path is "open," that means that no current can pass through said path. This type of switch closes the path when pressed allowing current to pass through the path only when it is being pressed down. Otherwise is it normally open as the name suggests.
