The electric circuit is a closed loop in which electrical components form a network for flowing the electrons. It has a point of source such as a battery from where the electrons start to flow whereas the point where electrons leave the electrical circuit is called the return.
A simple circuit consists of the power source, conductors, switch and load.
- Cell or battery : It is the power source.
- Load : A bulb that lights when the circuit is closed. It is also termed as the resistor.
- Conductors (Wire): One end of the wire is connected the load to the power source and the other end of the wire connects the power source back to the load.
- Switch: A switch can be used to open or close a circuit
