What happens when you disconnect the wire from the battery?
Disconnecting a wire from a battery would break the circuit. If the battery was powering a bulb, the lamp would go out.
What would happen if one bulb burns out in a parallel circuit?
Nothing much will happen except the same bulb will not blow..
What is a closed electric circuit?
An example of a closed electrical circuit would be a battery to a light bulb, the only source of power being the battery and no other input from an outside source. Like video cameras in a store they would be considered a closed circuit surveillance system so long as the signals stay inside the store and don't leave to a remote location.
Why should you not connect a 6 V battery into a circuit that requires a D cell?
A D cell battery supplies nominally 1.5V. Connecting a 6V supply in it's place would supply an extra 4.5V and could potentially damage the circuit components.
A device that gives power to a circuit?
A battery or eletrical generator would do that.AnswerYour question should be rephrased. You do not 'give power' to a circuit. 'Power' is simply a rate -the rate of doing work.
What would happen if you connected the ends of a battery in a series circuit with wire?
You would short out the battery. If it was a car battery capable of 300 amps and the wire was big enough, the battery could explode.
What will happen to the circuit if the bulb if removed from its holder?
If the bulb is removed from its holder, the circuit will be open, breaking the flow of electricity. This will result in the current being unable to pass through the circuit and the bulb will not light up as a result.
If a 12 volt 18 amp hour battery is installed in a circuit with a continuous 1 amp current draw on the battery what would happen?
would discharge in 18 hours
What would happen if you added one battery to a parallel circuit of two light bulbs?
Adding one more battery to a parallel circuit of two light bulbs would increase the voltage across the entire circuit. This would cause both light bulbs to shine more brightly as they receive more power. It will not affect the current flowing through the circuit but will boost the overall energy provided to the circuit.
What would happen to the current in a circuit if a 1.5 volt battery is removed and is replaced by a 3 volt battery?
V = IR, so if you double the voltage without changing the resistance, the current will also double.
What would happen if the resistance in a circuit remained the same and the voltage decreased?
A well designed circuit should be able to operate over a range of voltages, not just at one voltage. Especially a circuit which is intended to be powered by a battery. As the battery starts to get used up, and the voltage drops, you want the circuit to operate as planned.
What would happen if there was only positive electrodes in a circuit?
Nothing. The reason a circuit works is that there is an imbalance between the positive and negative (cathode and anode) ends of the battery. two positive ends wouldn't move anything.
What happens when you disconnect the wire from the battery?
Disconnecting a wire from a battery would break the circuit. If the battery was powering a bulb, the lamp would go out.
In a series circuit with two loads what would occur if one load was to be removed while the circuit is energized?
The circuit will de-energize.
When you add a second battery to a series circuit what happens?
Adding a seound battery to a series circuit will increase the voltage, and require less current to keep the lights (if there are any on) as bright. Say you have a 6v battery, then you add another 6v battery. the voltage of the circuit would be 12v
What would the current flow be if a short circuit is put across the battery's terminals?
That will depend on the internal resistance of the battery. I = E / R Where I is the current, E is the open circuit battery voltage, and R is the internal resistance of the battery.
What would happen if you stuck an insulator in the middle of a circuit?
the circuit would not be complete. the lightbulb would not light or the buzzer would not buzz
