A simple circuit consists of a source of electro motive force ( EMF or voltage V )
This could be a battery,dynamo or solar cell. The circuit should do something, like light a lamp. For the lamp to glow there must be a flow of electrons called an electric current measure in Amperes (I). For the current to flow the circuit must form a closed loop, like a daisy chain. A switch is a device that breaks this loop and controls the state of the circuit.
Closed circuit, switch closed, = lamp on
Open circuit, switch not closed = lamp off

Voltage, frequency, current, impedance, and what the circuit is supposed to do are all important.

∙ 16y agoa circuit is a pathway in which electricity travels
a very basic circuit is
a battery connected to a light connected back to the battery
circuits always travel back to where they started or the circuit is not complete and does not accomplish the desired task
all electronics have either a very complex circuit, a simple circuit, or a series of circuits

Another answer
A source of electricity, a load to use the electricity and sufficient conductors to join them together so that an electric current can flow from the source to the load.

∙ 11y agoA complete circuit contains many different elements. Basically there are two types of circuit elements are active and passive elements.
Active elements: Those elements which produces power called active elements. Battery, generators are active elements.
Passive elements: Those elements which are loses power called passive elements. Resistors,capacitors,inductors etc are the passive elements.

∙ 14y agoWhen you mean simple circuit, I assume a source of one volt across a load of one ohm, which, according to Ohm's Law, equals one amp.

What statements is not correct about the elements in a circuit?
a switch is rarely used in electrical circuits
When a switch in an electrical circuit is turned off what will happen?
Closing a switch in an electrical circuit will complete the circuit. The supply voltage will then be applied to that circuit, and current will flow through that circuit.
What is the difference between a series and a parallel circuit?
A series circuit has all its elements connected in a sequence so the same current flows through each the same while A parallel circuit has many paths for current to travel and more than one resistor, outlet or switch.An example for each would be Christmas lights. If you take out one light bulb on a series circuit all the lights will go out because of an uncomplete circuit. If it were parallel circuit the rest of the lights wouldn't go out because in a parallel circuit there is more than one path for the current to follow. This allows you to take one out without all the others turning off. It would save you alot of trouble on Christmas if one light burned out!A; No difference as far as a source is concerned it is load of different type
What are some Elements with hydrogen and oxygen?
Hydrogen and oxygen are already elements. Elements do not contain other elements.
Hydrogen and chlorine are pure substances or chemical elements?
they are chemical elements
What are the distributed and lumped circuit?
The circuit is callaed lumped circuit whose elements can seprate(eg rectifier circuit in pcb). but in the distributed circuit we can seprate the elements from the circuit(eg transmision lines)
What are reciprocal circuit elements?
Reciprocal circuit elements are those elements/circuits in which power loss/gain is same at both nodes/ends.In these types of circuits we can check the circuit or connect it in any way.
What is a small circuit?
a simple circuit is made with basic electronics elements
Why does an open circuit does not make its elements function?
an opened circuit is considered to be possessed with an infinite resistance which totally opposes the flow of current in the circuit and ultimately makes the functioning of elements in the electric circuit subtle
What is the iffrence between a series circuit and parallel circuit?
Series circuit: elements are connected one after the other; the current (the electrons, or other charge carriers) has to pass through each of the elements in turn. Parallel circuit: elements are connected in such a way that part of the current will pass through one circuit element, part through the other.
What is a node in logistics?
it is a junction in a circuit where two or more circuit elements are connected together
Differentiate parallel circuit and siries circuit?
If two circuit elements (e.g., two resistors) are in series (a series circuit), the current has to pass first through one, then through the other. If they are in parallel, the current has a choice, through which of the elements it passes.
In a series circuit how does the current differ at different places along that circuit?
In a series circuit, current will remain the same through all elements, and the voltage drop across elements will vary. So the answer is: it doesn't.
Why short circuit not develop in heater elements?
asasasas
How is series circuit used?
Can be used for anything. It means that all the elements in the circuit are connected one after the other
What ia series circuit?
A circuit in which elements are connected in series.For example in RLC series circuit resistor,inductor and capacitor are connected in series.
What are the two elements in a circuit that transform electricity?
conductor and supply
