A complete path that allows electric current to flow.
Electrical Circuit
A type of circuit where components are connected end-to-end, forming a single path for current flow.
Series Circuit
A type of circuit where components are connected across common points, creating multiple paths for current.
Parallel Circuit
The flow of electric charge through a conductor.
Current
The component used to open or close a circuit, controlling the flow of current.
Switch
The pressure from an electrical circuit’s power source that pushes charged electrons (current) through a conducting loop.
Voltage
A device having a designed resistance to the passage of an electric current.
Resistor
The rate, per unit time, at which electrical energy is transferred by an electric circuit (P = V × I).
Electrical Power
A safety device designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by an overload or short circuit.
Circuit Breaker
A direct physical connection to the earth, a connection to a particular point in an electrical or electronic circuit, or an indirect connection that operates through capacitance or induction.
Grounding
The opposition that a substance offers to the flow of electric current (More resistance in series, lesser resistance in parallel).
Resistance in Circuits
A device used to store an electric charge, consisting of one or more pairs of conductors separated by an insulator.
Capacitor
Material used to insulate electrical wires and connectors from each other and from grounding surfaces.
Insulation
When an electrical circuit has zero resistance, causing the current to increase to infinity.
Short Circuit
A protective device that blows or breaks when the current flowing through it exceeds its maximum safe level.
Fuse
Pictorial representations used to simplify complex circuits and systems in visual format.
Circuit Diagrams and Schematic Symbols
A device used to measure voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit.
Multimeter
A semiconductor device with two terminals, allowing the flow of current in one direction only.
Diode
A semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power.
Transistor
The property of a conductor by which a change in current in the conductor creates a voltage in both the conductor and in any nearby conductors.
Inductance
An electrically operated switch that opens or closes circuits when another voltage is applied.
Relay
AC circuits alternate in direction, and DC circuits move in one direction. Used throughout the world for various applications in electrical systems.
AC vs. DC Circuits
