    Households use alternating current (AC) while batteries provide direct current (DC). A closed circuit allows electricity to flow while an open circuit stops the flow. Resistors reduce electrical current in a circuit. Capacitors store electricity and discharge it when voltage drops. Diodes only allow current to pass through in one direction. Fuses protect circuits. Transistors and integrated circuits miniaturize circuits onto chips. Potentiometers are variable resistors. Switches break circuits. Batteries are DC power sources and series circuits have components connected end to end.

    components and
    symbols

    By jayden may
    AC DC

    Household is ac and batteries is always dc


    circuits

    Closed is on and open is off


    resistor

    Resistors add resistance to the circuit and reduces the flow of electrical current
    Capacitor

    A capacitor is a component that stores electricity and then discharges it into the circuit whe
    there is a drop in electricity
    diodes

    Diodes are a components which are polarized. They only let electricity pass through one way
    fuse

    Its circuit protection


    transistor
    Integrated circuit

    An integrated circuit is an entire specialized circuit that has been miniaturized and fit onto one
    small chip with each leg the chip connecting to point within the circuit
    potentiometers

    Are variable resistors and is a volume knob


    switches

    A mechanical device that breaks the circuit


    Batteries

    A dc power source
    Series circuit
