Electric Circuits
An electric circuit is a path through which electric current flows. It includes a power source,
Types of Circuits
There are two main types of circuits: series circuits and parallel circuits. In a series circuit,
components are connected end-to-end, while in a parallel circuit, components are connected across
common points.
The Solar System
Conductors are materials that allow electric current to flow easily, such as metals. Insulators are
materials that resist the flow of electric current, such as rubber or plastic.
The Solar System
It is important to handle electricity with care to prevent accidents. Basic safety measures include not
touching electrical appliances with wet hands and not overloading power outlets.
