Answer:

An electrical circuit is composed of a source of electrical power, two wires that can carry electric current, and a light bulb. One end of both the wires is attached to the terminal of a cell while their free ends are connected to the light bulb. The electrical circuit is broken when the bulb is switched off.

An electrical circuit is composed of a source of electrical power, two wires that can carry electric current, and a light bulb. One end of both the wires is attached to the terminal of a cell while their free ends are connected to the light bulb. The electrical circuit is broken when the bulb is switched off.

The wires in an electrical circuit are made of a material called conductor that helps these transmit electricity. These wires have low resistance to electric current. Copper and aluminum are usually used as the wire material in fluorescent bulbs.

Different Types of Electrical Circuits and How do they Works :-

  • There can be many different types of electrical circuits. However, not all such connections are desirable from the point of view of the safety of your workplace.

  • A short circuit is a situation where a low-resistance electricity flow path is created accidentally, like when two wires come in close contact with one another and electric current starts to flow along a path that is different from that of the circuit.

  • These components automatically open the electrical circuit and break the flow of electric current when there is more-than-average flow of current. This prevents electric current from heating up the components of your lighting devices and damaging them.

  • As the name suggests, a parallel electrical circuit is made up of a number of electrical circuits that derive power from the same source of electricity.

  • The following diagram shows two situations of a parallel circuit: when it is operating as it should and when there is a short circuit.

  • In a series circuit, all the elements are connected end-to-end, and electric current with the same voltage flows through these components in a sequential manner. The total voltage flowing through the entire circuit is the sum of the voltages passing through each component.

  • After all, you will not want your production activities to come to a stop if one bulb somewhere within the premises fails to light up.
