How does a switch control the flow of electricity?
When the switch is open, the circuit is not a complete circuit. Electricity needs a complete circuit of conductive material. The switch breaks the circuit causing the flow of electricity to be disrupted. When you close the switch, a full circuit is restored thus restoring the flow of electricity.
What happens when a circuit has a gap in it?
When a circuit has a gap in it, everythig stops working because the electricity wont be able to flow around the whole circuit
When does electricity flow?
When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.
How does electricity move around a parallel circuit?
By the flow of the electricity from a ammeter ( A )
What type of circuit allow electrons to flow constantly?
an open circuit allows electrons to flow constantly
How can one close an open circuit?
One can close an open circuit by adding a complete loop of wire. This will allow the electricity to flow through the circuit, while electricity will not flow in an open circuit.
What circuit does not allow electricity to flow through?
An open circuit.
Did electricity flow through the wire when the circuit was opened?
Electricity does not flow in an open circut

What is a circuit in which electricity doesn't flow called?
In a lighting circuit an open circuit will turn off the light.
What determines if a circuit is open or closed?
Closed. If it is open then the power is off.
What happens when a circuit has a gap in it?
When a circuit has a gap in it, everythig stops working because the electricity wont be able to flow around the whole circuit
When does electricity flow?
When there is a closed circuit, there is electricity flow.
What happened what happens when a switch in a circuit is open?
it prevents electricity to flow. i hope that is right
What is through a discontinuous circuit which no current can flow?
meaning that the current from your power source doesn't return to the positive end (electricity flows from - negative, to + positive)
Is an open switch in an electrical circuit to prevent current flow?
Yes, an open switch breaks the circuit and prevents electricity flowing through. A closed switch on the other hand completes the circuit and in turn helps electricity travel through the circuit.
If a switch is said to be open will a curcuit work?
A circuit will not work if a switch is open, be because it is not allowing the electricity to flow. Where as if it was closed it would give the electricity a sealed off path to flow through.
