What are the component of a circuit? Write their functions with a neat diagram.
Answers
Answer:
A battery: It is a combination of cells and its utility is the same as the cell. Switch: It is a plug key used to allow or stop the flow of current upon being pressed. It may be an open or a closed switch. Wire joint: One device may be connected to the other using wires.
Explanation:
A circuit diagram is a simplified representation of the components of an electrical circuit using either the images of the distinct parts or standard symbols. It shows the relative positions of all the elements and their connections to one another. It is often used to provide a visual representation of the circuit to an electrician. The following figure shows a simple circuit diagram.
An electric cell:
It provides the source of current. In its symbol, the larger terminal is positive, whereas the smaller one is the negative terminal
A battery:
It is a combination of cells and its utility is the same as the cell.
Switch:
It is a plug key used to allow or stop the flow of current upon being pressed. It may be an open or a closed switch.
Wire joint:
One device may be connected to the other using wires. This is shown by drawing ‘blobs’ at their point of connectivity.
Resistor (R):
It is used to restrict the amount of current flow in the circuit.
