How Does A Simple Electric Circuit Work
In a circuit electrons flow from the battery through the wires and into the light bulb.
How does a simple electric circuit work. An introduction to a simple electrical circuit. Electricity comes from electrons motion. Two wires connect to the light. Electron are part of atoms.
How electrical circuits work. Reason we have electrical circuits is to do some useful work for us. A simple electric circuit contains a power source battery wires and a resistor light bulb. They are these tiny black things gravitating around the core of the atoms which is made from neutrons and protons.
As the electrons move from one point to another they can do work. Well they work approximately as water flow works. A circuit is a closed path that electrons flow along to provide power to your home and electronics. Electrons move from the source through the load and back to the source.
The battery pushes the electricity along the wires from the positive terminal through the bulb and back to the negative terminal. Moving electrons have energy. A simple electrical circuit consists of a power source two conducting wires one end of each being attached to each terminal of the cell. A battery or generator produces voltage the force that drives current through the circuit.
For electrons to do their job in producing light there must be a complete circuit so they can flow through the light bulb and then back out. Take the simple case of an electric light. In a lamp this is to provide light in a heater to give us heat and in an electrical car to drive us around.
