privateman said:Current always takes the shortest route, so therefore no current exists at R3, because resistance is proportional to the wire's length's .
electricity moves from a higher potential to a lower one.
Potential = current intensity x resistance, thus potential increases when resistance does.
eventually electricity will not choose the longer path because it has a higher potential.
Rab
so there's NO such thing as zero resistance as you say,

A basic circuit is a complete path that electricity can flow through. It consists of a power source, such as a battery, wires to carry the electricity, and a load, such as a light bulb, that uses the electricity.
To build a basic circuit, you will need a power source, wires, and a load. Connect one end of the wire to the positive terminal of the power source and the other end to one terminal of the load. Then, connect the other terminal of the load to the negative terminal of the power source. This will create a complete circuit and allow electricity to flow.
A basic circuit consists of a power source, wires, and a load. The power source provides the energy for the circuit, the wires carry the electricity, and the load uses the electricity to perform a task, such as lighting up a bulb.
In a series circuit, all components are connected in a single loop, with the same amount of current flowing through each component. In a parallel circuit, multiple branches are created, and the current is divided between each branch. This means that the voltage stays the same in a series circuit, while it can vary in a parallel circuit.
A circuit diagram is a graphical representation of a circuit, showing the components and how they are connected. It is used to plan and design circuits, and also to troubleshoot and repair them. This visual representation allows for easier understanding and analysis of complex circuits.
