The battery is the power source of the circuit. It supplies current to the circuit and the circuit is simply a path for the current to follow. When you remove the current (battery), the path still exists but there is no current going through it.

What happens if a AA battery gets wet?

If an AA battery gets wet, it can cause the battery to short circuit, leak, or corrode. This can damage the battery and potentially cause it to stop working. It is important to properly dry the battery and the device it is in to prevent any further damage.


What stops a circuit from working?

A circuit may stop working due to issues such as a blown fuse, a loose connection, a broken component, or incorrect wiring. Other factors like a short circuit, low battery power, or overheating can also cause a circuit to fail. Proper troubleshooting and testing is necessary to identify and rectify the specific problem.


Can magnet stop working torch?

No, a magnet should not stop a torch from working. Torches typically use batteries to power the light, and magnets do not interfere with the electrical circuit in a torch.


How can a broken wire affect a series circuit differently than a parallel ciruit?

In a series circuit, a broken wire will interrupt the flow of current and cause all components to stop working. In a parallel circuit, if one wire is broken, the components in that branch will stop working, but components in other branches will continue to function.


What will happen to the metal filament when the bulb blew in a circuit?

It might stop working. (Also known as fused) We can no longer use it as when one part of a system broke,the whole system will stop functioning. You might need a new bulb if that happens. Ohh and make sure you don't breathe in to much inert gas from the battery if it has melted! Just a fact. . .

Will the printed circuit stop all gauges from working?

Depending which circuit burned out, yes.


What are the advantage to a parallel circuit?

If one wire was to break only one of the bulbs on the circuit would stop working whereas if one wire broke on a series circuit all the bulbs would stop working.


Your phone is getting hot and your battery is running down fast What is wrong?

Sounds like an electrical short or a battery failiure, which can mean a new battery ,a new phone, or that somthing is shorting the length of the circuit .remove the battery immediately since they can explode in rare instances.First try another battery, if the problem is still there then its either a phone short circuit or an obstruction short circuit which would either require cleaning or rewiring.Hope this help :)


Why battery is removed first to change SIM card?

Because if not, you could remove the SIM without shutting down the phone, which can make it stop working. I managed to remove the SIM from an older Sagem phone without removing the battery and the phone just blocked. I had to remove the battery insert the SIM and put the battery back in order to restart it.


Why does the door bell stop working?

the battery dies.


If a circuit had a gap in it would it work?

Nope... if the circuit has a gap in it - the path of electrons is interrupted, and that would stop the circuit from working.


Why does the PlayStation 3 wireless controllers stop working when the battery fails to take a charge?

The Playstation 3 wireless controllers stop working when the battery fails to take a charge because they operate on a charged battery.
