The four elements of a complete (electrical) circuit: 1)A source of input (power supply) 2)A means of conductivity (usually wire) 3)A means by which to open and close the circuit (a switch) 4)An output device (motor, light bulb, etc)

∙ 9y agoYou only need two things to make a circuit:
==> a source of potential difference (EMF, voltage; a battery e.g.)
==> a conducting path between the two points of potential difference
and bada-bing, you have a circuit with current flowing in it.

Is the function of a capacitor in an electric circuit to increase circuit power?
No, a capacitor in a circuit will not increase power. The capacitor is an electrical component that is used to provide resistance to a change in voltage. That's what capacitance is; it's how we define it. A capacitor (cap) can also be used to "couple" or "transfer" an AC signal in a way that isolates any DC component. Capacitors are used in waveshaping circuits in electronic circuits. The are used to store charge to "smooth" the output of a power supply. In power distribution systems, they are employed for "offsetting" the phase shifts introduced by the large number of inductive loads (like motors) on these circuits. And this things are just a start. Capacitors do not increase power in a circuit. They "give back" to a circuit, but only after "taking from" the circuit at another time. They are what is called a reactivecomponent, but they are passive. They don't "make" power and put it in a circuit.
What are three things Thomas Edison invented?
The three things Thomas Edison invented are... 1. Electric lighting 2. Sound recording 3. Motion pictures
Explain why the parts of your model are like the real circuit components?
It is because there is a light bulb and things like that......
What happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing?
Several things happened to the electrodes as a result of the electric current flowing. The electrodes conduct the electrical current and makes the circuit complete.
What are two things required to make electric current flow in a circuit?
you need an electrical supply and a load. nice and simple.
A complete electric circuit includes a voltage source current wires and something to ground the flow of current?
If you ground the flow of current like the last part of your question states you will not have a complete circuit as the circuit will open on a short circuit. To make a complete circuit operate you need a power source, an overload device to protect the conductors of the circuit, conductors to carry the current and a load across the power source which causes the current to flow in the circuit. Leave any one of these things out and you will not have a complete circuit.
A complete circuit is made of three things?
If you are talking about the light circuit then : The Battery, The bulb and the wire.
3 things in a complete circuit?
battery, wire, and light bulb
What are to things needed in order for current to flow in a circuit?
voltage and ground
What two things are needed to make a current flow in a circuit?
For the circuit to be connected all the way round because if there are breaks in the circuit the electricity will not flow back round. and number 2 a battery or a power source because without power where is the electricity coming from to be honest. Hope it helped. Thanks. xx
What things are needed for a circuit?
A source of power, a load, and some wire to connect them together.
What are the two things needed to make current flow in electricity?
A flow of electrons is needed to have a current. And there (usually) must be a complete circuit. And you need a voltage to make the current move around your circuit. All tied up in Ohms Law - which I'll leave to you.
What do you need to build a circuit?
The things needed to build a circuit are:Circuit elements like resistor capacitors, inductors etcConnectors (cables)A source
What three things needed to complete magnetic induction?
Movement conductor, magnetism
