Explanation:
A complete closed path through which a current can flow is an electric circuit
It is of two types:
Closed Circiut: the swich is closed a we can see a bulb lighting
Open Circuit : The path is not conplete and we cannot see a bulb lighting
☛ A continuous conducting path consisting of wires and other resistance like electric bulb etc. and a switch between the two terminals of a cell or a battery along which an electric current flows is called electric circuit.
☛ Electric current:-It is the potential difference between the ends of the wire which make the electric charges or current to flow in the wire.
- The magnitude of electric current in a conductor is the amount of electric charge passing through a given point of conductor in one second.
- The SI unit of current is ampere.
☛ Direction of electric current:-The conventional direction of electric current is from positive terminal of a cell or battery to the negative terminal through the outer circuit.
