Components of a Circuit
An electric circuit is made up of various components, some of the various components of the electric circuit are,
- Conductors (wires)
- Power Source
- Load
- Switch
Generally, copper wires are used as a conductor. Switch are components that control the entry and exit of the current in the circuit. used to make or break a circuit. Resistors are used to control the flow of the electric current in a circuit. Loads are devices that are used in a circuit that consumes electrical energy and converts it into other forms of energy like light, heat, sound, etc. Examples of load include bulbs, speakers, heaters, etc.
Resistors in Series and Parallel Combinations
Resistors are devices that obstruct the flow of electric current in the circuit. They provide the hindrance to the path of the current which flows in the circuit. Resistors consume the current in any circuit and convert them to other forms of energy as required. Various resistors can be added to the circuits as per our requirements. Two or more resistors can easily be added in particular sequences. The addition of resistors can be achieved using any of the two methods i.e. Series Combination and Parallel Combination. In this article, we will learn about the arrangement of Resistors in Series and Parallel combinations and others in detail.
