In general, electrical circuits refer to the pathways or routes that are used to deliver electric power onto the power grid and out to the site where a customer actually uses it. It's possible to say the electric power grid is a large electrical circuit. It is. We can use terms like wire or lines or conductors when we talk about the power grid. You already know that there are Transformers, circuit breakers (disconnects), fuses and other "stuff" in the circuits. An electrical circuit could be any subsystem of the larger whole. The electrical circuits in a residential structure could be all the wiring from the meter and breaker panel to all locations in the home. The electrical circuits of your home can be described this way. An electrical circuit could be a subsystem of a piece of equipment that helps an observer differentiate it from another subsystem. In a TV, for example, the video circuits are electrical circuits that are separate from the audio circuits. Each is a distince electrical circuit in this light, and someone like, say, a repair technician will be looking in the audio circuits to see why your TV has no sound rather than in the video section. The two electrical circuits are distinct in this light. We could go on, but this may cover the basics acceptably.

Where are circuits used?

Circuits are used anywhere you want to have an electrical current flow. Without a circuit, you cannot have current flow. Without current flow, you cannot do any work.


Where are parallel circuits used?

Parallel circuits are used when there are many electronics on the same circuit, such as Christmas lights, for example. If they were on a series circuit, if one bulb went out all of them would go out. In your home, parallel circuits allow you to turn any electrical device on or off, independently of the others.


Why must short circuits be opened instantly?

Short circuits cause extreme amounts of electrical and mechanical stresses on equipment. Equipment that will regularly carry 100amps of current can be exposed to thousands of amps of current. transformers explode, lines vaporize, poles start on fire, etc. if short circuits are not removed as soon as practical.


What is circuit component?

A circuit component is a discrete device or physical entity within an electrical circuit that performs a specific function, such as controlling the flow of current, storing electrical energy, or amplifying signals. Common circuit components include resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits. Each component has unique electrical properties and characteristics that contribute to the overall functionality of the circuit.
