ELECTRIC CIRCUITS
An electric circuits is a series of interconnected components that an electriccurrent flows throughto produce an effect.
Load devices: Components that receive the electrical energy from the power sources and convert it to other types of useful energy.
Conductors: Components that transport the electrical energy from the power sources to the load devices in other words the elctric current flows through these components.
Control devices: Devices that regulate the circuit; n other words, they allow or prevent the flow of electric current through the circuit.
Power sourcers: Components that suuply the necesary electrical energy to the rest of circuit in order to move the electrons.
Open circuit,Closed circuit and Short circuit.
Short circuit: occurs when the electric current is transported by the wires without passing through a load devices.
Closed circuit: when the energy of the power source reachs the load devices, so the elctric current flows
Open circuit: When the energy of the power source cannot reach the load devices, so the electric current cannot flow.this can happen if the switch is open, but it can also be because of a fault in the circuit.

conductors insulators
insulators: like wood, plastic and cardboard.
conductors: Gold, Silver, Aluminium and copper.

-
Electricity is a from of energy that lets negatively charged particles move from one atom to another.

tipes of circuits
series circuits
in these circuits, all the components are conected one after the other.

-
-
parallel circuits
The current does not flow equally through all the load dvices; instead, it is shared by all the possible paths.
-
In these circuits, the load devices are connected on different branches of the wire.
Even if one of the load devices stops working, the rest continue to work because the electric currenttakes other.
