What restricts the flow of energy?
You can change current by altering potential difference or resistance... But assuming the voltage is constant, the resistance of the circuit restricts the flow of electrical current.
Why must a circuit be closed in order for current to a 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.
In a circuit the purpose of a switch is to?
In a circuit, the purpose of a switch is to control the current flow to the load by opening the circuit (off) or closing the circuit (on). When the circuit is open, the is no complete loop through which the current can flow. When the switch closes the circuit, it restores the loop, and thus allows the current to flow.
How a fuse controls the flow of electric current in a circuit?
A fuse does not control the flow in a circuit, it limits the current in a circuit. If the load in a circuit shorts out the fuse link melts and opens the circuit and stops the current flow and prevents the wires feeding the circuit from melting and catching fire. resist
What happens to an electric current when a circuit is closed?
If the circuit is closed the electric current will be closed as well.
What are the components of a resistor?
Resistance is the property of a component which restricts the flow of electric current.
What restricts the flow of energy?
You can change current by altering potential difference or resistance... But assuming the voltage is constant, the resistance of the circuit restricts the flow of electrical current.
What circuit component serves as pathway for current flow?
The circuits conductor serves as a pathway for current to flow.
What component resists flow of current in an electrical circuit?
transistor
What is resistance reading?
A measurement of opposition to electric current flow in a component or circuit.
Which component slow down the current in circuit?
An inductive load can cause current to lag voltage in an AC circuit. An increase in resistance will decrease amount of current flow.
What does electrical resistance restrict?
It restricts current flow
what does resistor mean in science?
In electronics/electricity, it's a component or part of a circuit that opposes/reduces the flow of current.
Does resistance depend upon current?
The higher the resistance the lower the current flow. It restricts the flow of electrical current. The resistance will not depend upon the current. The current flow will depend on the resistance.
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.
What are applications of OHM METER?
It measures resistance in a component or circuit to determine if there is a break in that circuit or component. If there's no resistance, it means there's a break, as no electrical current is passing through.
What component is constructed using a metal strip made of two different metals that will separate when current flow is excessive?
a circuit breaker
