What circuit is it when electrical current has two or more paths to follow?
A circuit in which electricity only flows in one path is called a series circuit.
Something that will not let electricity flow through it is an?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons. Anything that doesn't allow current is an insulator
What is the part of a circuit that connects or disconnects the circuit?
Switches, fuses and circuit breakers are examples of some of the electrical parts which can connect or disconnect a circuit to a source of current. A diode does it for alternating current, but only for one half of each cycle. "Connecting" allows an electric current to flow through the circuit. "Disconnecting" stops an electric current from flowing through the circuit.
How does electrical current flow in a circuit?
There is a potential difference (voltage) between two points and a path for electrons to travel from an area of low potential (negative) to an area of high potential (positive). Note the direction of "current flow" is opposite the direction of electron flow. In other words current flows from positive to negative. In a circuit involving only a resistor, the current flowing in the circuit is given by I=V/R where I = current, V= voltage, and R=resistance.
Can you get shocked and the electricity come out of your tongue?
Not usually unless you go around licking grounded objects when you are touching live electrical circuits. The only time that you will receive a shock is when you become the ground return for the electricity to flow through. In effect you become the neutral wire that returns the current flow that is supposed to go back to the distribution panel.
A series circuit is:?
A circuit in which electricity only has 1 path to flow.
Which type of circuit has only ONE way for electricity to flow?
series circuit
An electrical circuit in which the electricity only has one path to follow is called?
series circuit
Why is an electrical circuit made of materials that are conductor?
"Electrical circuit". "Electrical" meaning "electricity". "Circuit" meaning "around from the start back to the starting place". If any of the materials in that circuit path are not conductors, there is no circuit. The electricity only goes that far and stops. So all materials in the circuit must be able to conduct electricity.
A circuit that has only one path for electricity to flow through?
A series circuit has only one path for current flow.
Is glass an insulator of electricity?
Note: "electricity" is not conducted, only electrical current (the flow of electrons) is. Electricity is the field that covers all things electrical. Insulators only prevent the flow of electrons (current). Glass is a very good insulator.
Why do things stop working when you switch them off?
Electricity only works when it can flow all the way around a loop called a circuit. Turning off a switch breaks the circuit, stopping the flow and turning electrical things off. Turning a switch on joins the circuit and makes them work again.
What is a continuous path along which electricity flows is known as an electric what?
Electric current can flow through a continuous path which can also be described as a closed circuit. Conversely, any break or opening in a circuit is called an open circuit. Charges can only flow through a closed circuit.
Will a circuit work without a switch?
Yes a circuit will work without a switch but the only problem will be is that electricity will be wasted and there will be no device to stop the flow of current
What is the difference between a series and parallel circuit?
because the series has only one path that electricity flows and parallel circuit has one or more pathways that electricity can flow
What elements allow electricity to pass through?
Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A circuit lets electricity flow through it.Conductors allow the easy flow of electrons. Conductors are metal, usually copper or aluminum.Note that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.Metals are good conductors. They provide little opposition (resistance) to the flow of currentNote that "electricity" doesn't flow, only current does, which is one aspect of electricity, does. Current is the flow of electrons.A conductor lets electrons easily flow in it.
What circuit is it when electrical current has two or more paths to follow?
A circuit in which electricity only flows in one path is called a series circuit.
