  1. 5. Circuits In a parallel circuit, the components are connected across multiple paths, allowing current to flow through each component independently. If one component fails or is disconnected, the other components can continue to operate as long as there is an alternative path for current flow.
  2. 6. Voltage, also known as electric potential difference, is the measure of electrical potential energy per unit charge between two points in a circuit. It is typically measured in volts (V) and represents the force that drives electric current through a circuit.
  3. 7. Resistance is the measure of opposition to the flow of electric current through a conductor. It is measured in ohms (Ω) and is influenced by factors such as the material, length, and cross-sectional area of the conductor.
  4. 8. Electric current is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. It is measured in amperes (A) and represents the rate at which charge flows past a given point in a circuit.
  5. 9. Circuits are pathways or loops through which electric current can flow. They typically consist of components such as wires, switches, and various electrical devices connected together.
  6. 10. Law Ohm's Law states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across the two points and inversely proportional to the resistance (R) between them. Mathematically, it is expressed as

  1. 1. A battery is a device that converts chemical energy into electrical energy. It consists of one or more electrochemical cells that store and release energy through chemical reactions, providing a source of voltage in an electrical circuit.
  2. 2. In an electrical circuit, the load refers to any device or component that consumes electrical energy to perform a specific function. Examples of loads include light bulbs, motors, heaters, and electronic devices.
  3. 3. A capacitor is a passive electronic component that stores electrical energy in an electric field. It consists of two conductive plates separated by an insulating material (dielectric). Capacitors are commonly used in circuits for energy storage, filtering, and timing applications.
  4. 4. Circuits In a series circuit, the components are connected end to end, forming a single path for current flow. If one component fails or is disconnected, the entire circuit is broken and current ceases to flow.
