Question
An electric current is
A. circle of wires
B. a complete closed path through which electrical charges can flow.
C. the same as current electricity
D. both a and b
Solution
The question appears to be asking about the definition of a closed path in an electric circuit and whether terms like "circle of wires" and "current electricity" refer to the same concept.
-
Definition of Terms
- A circle of wires refers to the closed loop created by wires through which electric current can flow.
- Current electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor like wires, which can indeed involve a closed loop.
-
Conclusion
Both statements refer to the same general concept of how electric current functions in a circuit, emphasizing the necessity of a closed path (or loop) for the current to flow. Hence, both definitions provided in the options A and B are valid and relate directly to current electricity.
Final Answer
The correct answer is D: both A and B. Current electricity involves a complete closed path, or circuit, allowing charges to flow, typically represented by wires arranged in a loop.
