ELECTRIC CIRCUITS - Coggle Diagram
ELECTRIC CIRCUITS
They have 5 basic elements
Receptors
They are components which transform thelectrical energy that they receive into another type of useful energy.
Examples
Bulb
Motor
Bell
Electric resistors
Control components
They direct or interrupt the flow of the electric current.
The most common types are
A switch (a 2-way switch)
A 3-way switch
A push button
Conductors
They are the elements that join all the components of a circuit and allow the flow of the current.
They can be cables or wires.
Protection components
They prevent damage to the wiring or people because they interrupt the flow of the current when it gets to high.
They can be
Fuses
Thermal magnetic circuit breakers (they are in every house)
Generators
It is a device which produce the energy which is necessary for electrons to move in order to generate and maintain an electric current.
It has two poles
They can be
Alternators or dynamos
Photovoltaic solar cells
Batteries
Hydrogen cells
It is a set of connected components through wich an electric current flows.
