The devices placed in an electric circuit are known as its circuit elements/circuit components
there are some important circuit components. their names and functions are:-
battery/cell
the battery or a cell is used to provide electric current to the circuit. Without current the circuit can not be completed. it has positive pole on one side and a negetive on other.
connecting wires
wires provide path for the current to flow. without wires, current will not be able to flow.
resistance
there should be an object through which current is flowing and we can check the flow of current.
rheostat
a variable resistance is called rheostat. we can control the resitance in the circuit.
key
an open key does not allow the current to flow as it breaks the current in between. and a closed key allows the current to flow through the circuit.
ammeter
this device is used to measure the current which flows through the circuit
voltmeter
this device is used to measure the voltage across the circuit.
