Question

Electric current flows through a circuit only when:

Options

• The switch is in the OFF position

• Only one terminal of the source is connected

• The circuit is broken at any point

• The circuit forms a complete (closed) loop from one terminal of the source, through the components, and back to the other terminal

Answer 1

Electric current flows only when the circuit forms a complete (closed) loop from one terminal of the source, through the components, and back to the other terminal. If the loop is broken anywhere, current stops flowing.
