ELECTRIC CIRCUIT,

TYPES OF CIRCUIT
CONNECTIONS AND
CONDITIONS OF A
CIRCUIT
ELECTRICITY
is the movement or flow of electrons
from 1 atom to another atom in a
conductor.
CONDUCTORS
are materials that easily permits the
flow of electricity
INSULATORS
are materials which do NOT easily
permits the flow of electricity.
ELECTRIC CIRCUIT
is the complete flow of current
through a path (conductor) from the
source to the load and back to the
source.
PARTS OF AN ELECTRIC
CIRCUIT
SOURCE example : bulb
LOAD example : battery
CONTROL example : switch
PATH example : wire
TYPES OF CIRCUIT
CONNECTIONS
Simple Circuit
Series Circuit or Series Connection
Parallel Circuit or Parallel
Connection
Complex Circuit
SIMPLE CIRCUIT
Has ONLY 1 load, 1 switch and 1
source .
is neither a series circuit nor a
parallel circuit.
SERIES CIRCUIT
has 2 or more loads that are
dependent to each other.
When 1 load is removed, the other
will not function.
Loads are connected end to end
along the path.
PARALLEL CIRCUIT
has 2 or more loads that are
independent from to each other.
When 1 load is removed, the other
loads will still function.
Loads are connected
side by side
along the path.
COMPLEX CIRCUIT
has 2 or more loads.
Is the combination of series and
parallel circuit.
CONDITIONS OF A
CIRCUIT
Open Circuit
Closed Circuit
Short Circuit
Grounded Circuit
Overloaded Circuit
OPEN CIRCUIT
There is an incomplete flow of
electricity in a circuit.
Example:
Disconnected wires
Switched-off circuit
CLOSE CIRCUIT
There is a complete flow of
electricity in a circuit.
Example:
Switched-on circuit
SHORT CIRCUIT
There is a direct contact between L1
and L2 (or + terminal and terminal).
GROUNDED CIRCUIT
happens when 1 un-insulated live
conductor touches the metal part of
the appliance.
OVERLOADED CIRCUIT
When there is too much current
flowing in a wire (conductor)
This happens when the flowing
current in
the wire is more
than the capacity
of the wire.

TASKS

Draw a schematic digram of a

circuit with 3 bulbs.
Bulb 1 and Bulb 2 must be in
series connection, but also,
they (Bulb 1 and Bulb 2) should
be parallel to Bulb 3.
