The most basic electrical circuit consists of a power supply (source) and a 'load'. Here are some basic examples; AC & DC respectively:

* Household AC + Lightbulb * Car Battery + Starter * Car Battery + Horn

A typical electrical circuit could be a 'source', 'load', & switch:

* Household AC (wall socket), + lamp + lightswitch * Car Battery + Starter + ignition switch (key turning) * Car Battery + Horn + Sensor Switch on Steering wheel (to blow the horn)

Another typical circuit could be; Source, Load, Switch, Feedback device:

* Household AC + Clothes Dryer + Start Button + "On" light * Car Alternator + Radio + Radio 'On' Switch + Radio 'On' LED

What are three reason why a simple circuit may not work?

The circuit may not be complete. The power source may not be sufficient. The polarity of the battery is messed up.


What are parts of the simple circuits?

A simple circuit contains the minimum things needed to have a functioning electric circuit. It requires three things: 1. A source of electrical potential difference or voltage. (typically a battery or electrical outlet) 2. A conductive path which would allow for the movement of charges. (typically made of wire) 3. An electrical resistance (resistor) which is loosely defined as any object that uses electricity to do work. (a light bulb, electric motor, heating element, speaker, etc.) Despite being considered simple, such circuits are useful and quite common. Examples include flashlights and doorbells. it also needs a way to get to the light and a way back from the light so it can function properly or even work at all.


How can science make work easy?

understanding how things done.


Is using AC and ceiling fans together a good idea?

Answer Absolutely! This way your air circulates better and will cause the air conditioner to work less. Make sure that they your electricity can handle so much use on one circuit, otherwise you may blow that circuit.


How science is importance to mankind?

Science is important because we need it to understand how to make things, how things work, and how to advance things. Also, why some things are bad to advance, or use once we have advanced them far enough, i.e. Nuclear Weapons

How do simple machines make work about the same?

They do not. Simple machines reduce the effort used to do a task.


Do simple machines affect work?

They make work easier or faster, but never both.
