Current flows through a circuit in the forms of electrons. They are drawn to the positive end of the circuit and propelled by the negative end of the circuit.

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.)


In a circuit what do electrons travel in?

In a circuit, electrons travel through a conductive path typically made of materials like copper wires. The movement of electrons creates an electric current that powers the circuit components.


Do protons travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light?

No, protons do not travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light. In a circuit, electrons are the charge carriers that move through the wires at speeds much slower than the speed of light. Protons typically remain within the nucleus of an atom and do not move freely in a circuit.


How does electric current travel?

Electric current travels through a closed circuit, flowing from a higher voltage to a lower voltage. It moves through conductive materials such as wires, where the flow of electrons creates the electric current. The rate of flow of electric current is measured in amperes.


What is arc resistant?

The electric current will not travel from one end of the circuit to another.


What is current in the battery called?

A battery contains a charge of electrons. When these electrons leave the battery and travel through a circuit that is described as current.


How does electric current travel through gas?

Through ions or electrons.


What is an electric circuit that provides an uninterrupted path for a current to flow?

A closed circuit is one that provides an uninterrupted path for a current to flow. This means that the circuit is complete, allowing electricity to travel from the source (like a battery) through the wires to the load (such as a light bulb) and back to the source. If the circuit is open or broken, the current will not flow.


What determines the current in each branch of parallel of circuit?

The resistance of the component on that branch of the circuit, if the resistance is higher less of a proportion of the total current of the circuit will travel through that branch, however, if the resistance is low a higher proportion of the current will travel through that branch of the circuit. The voltage through each branch stays the same.


How does series circuit travel?

In a series circuit, the electric current flows through each component in sequence. This means that the current passes through one component before moving on to the next one. If one component fails or is removed, the circuit becomes open and no current can flow.


Why are two wires used to allow electric current to flow instead of a single one?

Because the current must always travel in a complete loop, going through the circuit and returning to the supply. A current can't travel along only one wire so no power would get to the circuit unless it has two wires.
