As they say, better late than never. This is, unfortunately, about a week overdue. (Sorry Sir, I’m not your usual facebook user that opens the account in a daily basis. hehehe)
Well, enough for some chit-chat and let’s begin our journey
to the center of the circuits.


Definition of terms
Electric Circuit - a path in which electrons from a voltage or current source flow; it is where electric current flows in a closed path; the interconnection of electrical elements



Power- the rate at which electric
energy is transferred by an electric
circuit; the rate of expending or absorbing energy, measured in
watts (W)
Energy - a property
of objects, transferable
among them via fundamental interactions, which can be converted in form
but not created or destroyed, measured in
joules (J)
Had enough? I’m not yet done. :)
Ø
To continue, there are three basic elements of a
simple electric circuits: a battery, a lamp and connecting wires. Such a simple
circuit can exist by itself.
Ø
There are also two types of elements found in
electric circuits: passive elements and active elements
o
Active elements – capable of generating energy
o
Passive elements – capable of absorbing energy
Ø
Lastly, we were also taught about the two kinds
of sources: independent and dependent sources
o
Independent source – an active element that
provides a specified voltage or current that is completely independent of other
circuit elements
o
Dependent source – an active element in which
the source of quantity is controlled by another voltage or current
