The instrument used to increase or decrease the passage of electric current through a circuit is called?
try RHEOSTAT
What is the name of a series circuit?
An electric circuit connected so that current passes through each circuit element in turn without branching.
What is circuit conductor?
its is an oject that can be used in a cicuit board, this object should allow an electric current to flow through it
What is the path for transmitting electric currents?
Electric currents flow from the source through the circuit and back to the source in materials called conductors.
What must occur before the current flows through a circuit?
As current is the rate of flow of electric chargesAs I=Q/tso,there must be free electrons for the flow of electric current in a circuit.Then when voltage is applied at the terminals of circuit the free electrons acquire an average velocity called as drift velocity in the opposite direction to that of electric field (-E).Now the free electrons modify there random motion and a steady current begin to flow in a circuit.
What factor determines the amount of current to flow through a circuit?
current
What sentence uses the the words electric circuit in it?
The electric circuit has a current running through it.
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 is the continuous loop that an electric current flows through?
DC = direct current.
What is the name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that cant flow?
The name for the status of a circuit that has breaks which electric current that can't flow is called a Closed Circuit. Electric current cannot flow through an open circuit.
What is the electric circuit where current flows through all parts of the circuit?
complex circuit
What is a closed path through which current can flow?
A closed path through which a current can flow is called a circuit. Electric Circuit:)
What flows through an electric circuit?
An electrical current.
What is a path through which electric current flows?
"circuit"
How can you make an electric current stronger?
An electric current through a resistive circuit can be increased by decreasing the resistive load or increasing the voltage of the circuit.
What is a break in an electrical circuit called?
A break in an electric circuit is called an open circuit. Electric current will not flow through an open 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.)
