  • heating effect
  • magnetic effect
  • chemical effect

What is the term for the relationship of voltage current and resistance in simple electrical circuit?

Ohms Law


What is the definition of impedance in physics and how does it relate to the flow of current in an electrical circuit?

Impedance in physics refers to the measure of opposition to the flow of alternating current in an electrical circuit. It includes both resistance and reactance. In simple terms, impedance determines how much a circuit resists the flow of current, affecting the overall behavior of the circuit.


Circuit in a sentence?

A circuit needs at least three electrical contacs.


Why does not it matter where you measure the current in a simple circuit?

The current measured at any point in a simple circuit will be the same because current is the measure of electron flow through a circuit. The current flowing through any branch of any circuit (or an entire simple circuit) will always be the same at any point.


What is happening when you turn an electric circuit off?

When you switch off an electrical circuit you tend to create a 'break' in the circuit, preventing the electric current to flow around the circuit, this can be caused by a simple switch or a break in the circuit, e.g a disconnected wire.


A simple circuit containing a light switch in the on position is a(n) circuit.?

A simple circuit containing a light switch in the on position is a closed circuit. In a closed circuit, electrical current can flow freely, allowing the light to illuminate. If the switch were in the off position, it would create an open circuit, interrupting the flow of electricity and turning the light off.


Which item would not increase voltage and generate an electrical current?

A simple resistor would not increase voltage or generate an electrical current. Resistors are used to limit the flow of current in a circuit and dissipate energy in the form of heat, but they do not add energy to the system. Therefore, they cannot increase voltage or generate electrical current on their own.


What happens to current in a simple circuit as potential difference is increased?

depends on the simple circuit. please describe it.


What does a switch do to effect a series circuit?

For an electrical circuit to keep going, it cannot be interrupted. When the switch is adjusted, the electrical flow is interrupted. Move the switch again and the flow is restored. Without a switch a circuit is no longer considered a complete circuit. Simple fifth grade science.


What are two things required to make electric current flow in a circuit?

you need an electrical supply and a load. nice and simple.


An electrical device that provides a path for electrical current to flow?

Well, it is light-thermal energy. Simple as that.AnswerI think that you are looking for 'series circuit', but your question is rather vague.
