ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

An electric circuit is formed with electrons which flow from a certain voltage source like photovoltaic module, batter by means of conductor like wire and load them back to the resource.

Circuit technically defines a process of full circle, where the light is plowed on the electrons gets discharged from the battery and they further reach the bulb. Thus light is produced with the battery backup and makes the circuit complete.

If you have a misconception that the process is done when the electrons gets through the bulb, it is incorrect. This doesn’t makes the process complete, since the electrons doesn’t flow from its place of origin. The electric circuit serves as a passageway to the electric current.

ELECTRIC CIRCUIT

They are defined as the best conductors that flows current from end to end without a mess.

To give complete safety to the electric current passage, the electric circuit is projected. Designed with a simple formula including a wire, bulb and a battery, the mechanism is easy and simple to execute. These are the most fundamental components which are required in completing the complete process of the circuit.

Electric Circuit

Electric circuit can be categorized into two different types, one is the closed circuit and the other one is the open circuit.

Closed circuit facilitates continuous current flow.

Whereas in the open electric circuit the passage of current remains non-continuous.  

The electric circuit is designed as a closed loop organized with wires, load, switch, power source and fuse.

The circuit become complete, when the current streams out from the –ve terminal crossing the wire and reaching the +ve terminal while turning on the switch.

Any mechanism which depletes energy flow by means of a circuit and convinces it to work is defined as load.

One of the best examples will be the light bulb. Yes it consumes electricity through a circuit and further reflects it as a work source called light and heat.

Types Of Electric Circuit

Electric circuit is categorized into three forms:1. Parallel Circuit2. Series Circuit3. Series Parallel Circuit

Parallel Circuit

When considering the parallel circuit, it is designed with multiple passage way, where the device will execute when any one of the path is under breakdown. Being a multi path design, one path will remain broken,

but the other paths will function well creating no hassles

SERIES CIRCUIT

When examining the series circuit, it has one way and allows the electrical current to flow.

In case of electric circuit breakdown, none of the device will operate.

Series Parallel CircuitWhen considering the series parallel circuit, quite several loads are connected to the series whereas the other loads are connected to the parallel circuits. In this case, when the series circuit results with breakdown, the overall functionality of the circuit will be stopped. Similarly, when the parallel circuit results with any breakdown, the overall functionality of the parallel circuit will be stopped.

Other Circuit ComponentsResistor A component that is designed to

introduce a particular resistance into a circuit is called a resistor.

Variable Resistor

• A variable resistor can made in which a contact moves along the surface of a resistance wire and brings different wire into the circuit.

• This device is sometimes called rheostat.

When the contact is placed on the far left the current passes through only a few coils of the wire.

As the contact is moved to the right the current flows through more of the wire and encounters greater resistance.

When the contact is moved from the right to the left the current flows through fewer coils of the wire and encounters less resistance.

Buzzer

A buzzer is an electrical device in which one part vibrates strongly when a current of electricity passes through it.

The vibration produce sound.
