ELECTRIC CIRCUITS
|
An electric circuit is a loop or a circle where electrons can flow. Electrons will flow if the circuit is closed. We can find electric circuits in any machine that uses electricity.

Basic components of an electric circuit
The basic components in an electric circuit are a battery, a wire, a switch and a light bulb. The switch is used to turn the circuit on and off. The international symbols used to represent those components are:
