Electric Circuit

A circuit is defined as the path followed by current along a conductor. A circuit is a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow.

An electric circuit includes a device that gives energyEnergy is the ability to do work. Energy exists in several forms such as heat, kinetic or mechanical energy, light, potential energy, and electrical energy. Units of Energy: The SI unit... More to charged particles constituting the current, such as a battery or a generator and devices that use current, such as lamps, electric motors and connecting wires.

Types of Circuit:

There are 5 Main Types of Electric circuits:

• Series Circuit
• Parallel Circuit
• Short Circuit
• Open Circuit
• Closed Circuit

1. Series Circuit:

A series circuit is one that has more than one resistor, but only one path through which electricity flows.

A resistor (bulb) in a circuit is anything that uses some of the power from the cell. When there is a break in any of the resistors, the entire circuit will not function.
