Without air resistance, the path of a projectile over a small part of the
Earth's surface, under the influence of gravity alone, is always a piece
of a parabola ... as long as it's not launched straight up or straight down.

Projectile following a parabolic path on a circle?
A projectile doesn't follow a circular path. It follows a parabolic path. No part of a circle has the same shape as any part of a parabola. They're different curves.
Does electricity follow the shortest path?
Electricity follows the path of least resistance. This could be convoluted.
What type of path does a moving object follow in the absence of a force?
The path of a body not acted on by a force is a path without acceleration, a straight line. A straight line can be a flat line zero velocity or a slant line constant velocity. It cannot be a curved line, acceleration, changing velocity.
What causes the path of a projectile to be curved?
The gravitation forces are what causes the path of a projectile to be curved.
What is the curved path an object follows when thrown?
If there's no influence from air resistance, then the path of a "projectile" is a parabola. That's what you get when one component of velocity is constant and its other (orthogonal) component is accelerated.

What path does electricity follow through a circuit?
The path with the lowest resistance.
A path of a projectile is?
The path of a projectile is it's trajectory.
What will be the path of a projectile?
The path of a projectile in earth gravity is that of a parabola.
Light and electricity follows the path of?
Light and electricity follow the path of least resistance.
What path with an electric current always follow?
"least resistance"
What does an electric current always follow?
The path of least resistance.
