Electric circuits 
Types
Control devices
They allow the flow of electric current. The main types are: one-way switches, push switches and two-way switches.
Conductors
Transport the electrical energy from the power sources to the load devices, the conductive componets of a circuit are the wires.
load devices
Componets that receive the electrical energy from the power sources and convert in to other types of useful energy
powers sources
Supply the necessary electrical energy to the rest of the circuit The generators of direct current in a curcuit are cell and batteries.
Definition
Is a series of interconnected componens wich an electric current flows through to produce an effect.
Examples
-
-
-
Load devices
Motors, lamp, buzzer and resistors
Circuits
Closed circuits
A circuit wich the energy of the power source reaches the load devices, so the electric current flows.
Shorts circuit
A short circuit occurs when the electric current is transported by the wires without passing through a load devices
Open circuits
A circuit which the energy of the power source cannot reach the load devices, so the electric current cannot flow.
Types of circuits
Parallel circuits
In this case the load device are connected on different branches of the wire, if one stops only ths stops and lamps wiil shine
-
Series circuits
The components are connected one after te other, if one load device stops all stops
conductor and insulators
insulators
Materials that do not electric current flow
Conductor
Materials that where electric current flow

What it is?
Electrical energy
It can be transported over long distances and it can easly be transformed into many other forms of energy.
Electricity
What it is?
Is a form that lets negatively charged particles(electrons)
solving circuits
.
to learn how to solve circuits, we generally begin with circuit composed only of cells and resistors
to calcute an unknown variable in series,parallel or series-parallel combination circuit, we add all the resistors together and replace them with a sigle one, which we call the total resistance
solving series circuits
To simplify things,we will solve a circuit formedby tree resistors connected in series cell.
