An electrical circuit can be defined as something which helps electrons to flow in a continuous uniform direction through wires. This flow of electrons occurs in a never ending loop without any source or destination. This cannot happen in a broken circuit. This loop should be made up of some conductive material.
FIVE THINGS
Ampere is the unit of measuring electric current.
Electric circuits are used to power bulbs or other electric components.
A battery is the major components of an electric circuit which acts as a power source. It provides energy which helps electrons to flow.
A battery consists of one or more section or cells. In every section, two electrodes are separated by a liquid or paste which is called electrolyte. Number of cells depends on the size of battery.
The amount of flowing electric charge in one second is called current.
In a circuit, electrons flow from negative to positive.
All the required components for formation of a circuit are: – battery, wires, bulbs, switches and motors.
A switch is used to control the flow of electricity. If a switch is open, it will create a gap in the circuit and current will not flow. When it is closed, circuit will be completed and flow of current will be continued.
