Examples of a circuit?
a circuit is a round wire that connects through a battery into a lightbulb
What does word circuit mean?
The act of moving or revolving around, or as in a circle or orbit; a revolution; as, the periodical circuit of the earth round the sun.
Describe how electrical devices use electrical energy?
in an AC appliance (something with a plug, connected to a socket, connected to the national grid) the electrical energy is transmitted from the power station to your house/home.take the example of a light bulb,SCIENCE EXPLANATION the electrons in the wire are free and can move about they circulate round the completed circuit carrying energy and offloading it to where there is an absence of it. The light bulb takes the energy from the electrons and releases the energy again as Thermal and Visual energy into the atmosphere and the electrons continue around the circuit where they can pick up energy again.SIMPLIFIED EXPLANATION when the switch is on the energy flows round and gives energy to the light bulb making it work.if you have a question of what i just said send me a message on my profilehope this answers your question
What are the names of the three slots in an electrical outlet?
hot - this is the short slot - connected to the black wireneutral - this is the long slot (15A) or T shaped slot (20A) - connected to the white wiresafety ground - this is the round or U shaped slot - connected to the green wire (sometimes this is a bare wire)
Can you use a 35uf oval capacitor in place of a 45uf round?
The shape of a capacitor has no meaning to the circuit. What matters is the capacitance, the voltage rating, and the current rating. 35uf is not the same as 45uf.
What direction does a resistor go around in an electrical circuit?
It doesn't matter which way round you place it.
What way round does a resistor go?
Does not matter!
Does it matter which way round the switch is connected?
no!
Examples of a circuit?

Which end of the resistor is more positive?
The end from which you go through less total resistance to get to the positive terminal of the power supply. Also it doesn't matter which way round you put it in circuit as its not like a polarized capacitor, it has no polarity.
Why is a circuit a circuit?
The current flows from the positive of the power supply, through whatever is placed in its path eg resistor, bulb, closed switch etc to the negative terminal of the power supply - going 'round the block' to the point where it started or taking a 'circuit' in its journey
What does A with a ring round it stand for in a circuit?
It stands for an ammeter - a meter that measures current (in Amperes - hence the 'A'). It is usually connected in series within the circuit, to measure the current as it passes through it.
How do electrons behave in a circuit?
answ2. There should be a complete circuit for electrons to travel round it. Otherwise you'd build up charge in the one spot.If the circuit contains resistors, then these will slow the electrons down; just temporarily whilst they bounce round in the resistor, for in there are less paths for free electrons.The energy of an electron is measured in volts, and some of the energy is absorbed in the resistor and will show up as a voltage lost in the passage through the resistor.A side consequence of electrons moving in a circuit is that a small magnetic field will be generated, but in normal electronic circuits, this is so minute as to be ignored.
What is a circle circuit?
It is a round circuit that electricity flows around it./
What is a trimmer resistor?
A trimmer resistor usually called a trim pot is a small variable resistor it is used in circuits to do preset it is trimmed with a trimmer screwdriver it is made up with a round fiber disc with a layer of carbon with a wiper that run on the carbon layer to change the resistance it always have 3 connecting pins where the center one is connected to the wiper and the other two to opposite ends of the carbon strip.
What is a rule for current flowing round a circuit?
In a series circuit, the current at every point in the circuit is the same. This is a consequence of Kirchoff's Current Law, which states that the signed sum of the currents entering a node must equal zero. Since a series circuit consists of nodes with only two elements connected to each node, it follows that the current at every point in a series circuit is the same.
