3 parts of electrical circuit
Source, load, circuit
28
SOurce
Origin of electrical potential (batteries/outlets), DC battery or AC
29
Load
A device that converts electrical energy into another form of energy(Lamps, lights, computer) what you're lighitng up Wha't s using the energy
30

W=VA
31
2 different circuits
Series & Parallel
32
Electrical Current –
The flow or movement of electrons through a conductor, amps
33
Electrical Potential
Difference in charge between two bodies.
34
Volts –
The unit of measurement of the electrical potential.
35
Watts –
– Measure of the rate work is done. one watt is the rate at which work if
36
Conductors
Allow electricity to flow. – Example - Metals like copper.
37
