00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,050
We are learning about electricity and inventions. In this video, we will cover the components of

2
00:00:13,050 --> 00:00:30,179
electric circuits, the types of electric circuits, and how to represent electric circuits. A circuit

3
00:00:30,179 --> 00:00:38,640
is a complete path around which electricity can flow. An electric circuit

4
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:51,179
is a closed loop or a circle. Electric circuits contain components. Electric

5
00:00:51,179 --> 00:01:02,780
circuits have four components. A generator, cables, switch, and light bulb.

6
00:01:02,780 --> 00:01:16,239
Let's look at these parts in the image. We have our generator, the socket, then we

7
00:01:16,239 --> 00:01:31,909
have the cable. Next we have the switch. It turns the circuit on or off. Finally

8
00:01:31,909 --> 00:01:39,049
we have the light bulb. It makes light when the switch is on and the circuit is

9
00:01:39,049 --> 00:01:49,849
running correctly. So we've got our generator, the socket, our cable, switch,

10
00:01:49,849 --> 00:02:06,319
and light bulb. Electric circuits. There are three types of electric circuits. There is a simple

11
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:19,639
circuit which has one light bulb and forms a circle. Electricity flows along one path. Then

12
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,419
Then we have the series circuit.

13
00:02:22,419 --> 00:02:28,000
Two or more light bulbs are connected to one battery.

14
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:35,229
Electricity flows along one path.

15
00:02:35,229 --> 00:02:38,509
Then we have the parallel circuit.

16
00:02:38,509 --> 00:02:47,789
It forms two or more circles or paths.

17
00:02:47,789 --> 00:02:51,669
Representing electric circuits.

18
00:02:51,669 --> 00:03:01,969
We use symbols to represent the components of an electric circuit.

19
00:03:01,969 --> 00:03:07,129
Here we have the symbol for a light bulb or lamp.

20
00:03:07,129 --> 00:03:10,569
This shows a switch that is off.

21
00:03:10,569 --> 00:03:15,389
You see the line is not connected to the circle.

22
00:03:15,389 --> 00:03:18,729
This shows a switch that is on.

23
00:03:18,729 --> 00:03:21,729
It is all connected.

24
00:03:21,729 --> 00:03:32,879
we have our symbol for a battery and this line represents a wire. We can

25
00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:40,879
easily identify the components and the type of circuit. Let's use the symbols to

26
00:03:40,879 --> 00:03:52,659
identify the components of this circuit. This symbol represents the light bulb.

27
00:03:52,659 --> 00:04:07,210
This symbol represents the switch and the switch is off. The line is not

28
00:04:07,210 --> 00:04:19,540
connected to the circle. This symbol represents the battery and the line

29
00:04:19,540 --> 00:04:31,060
represents the wire. Okay this is all for today. Until next time, goodbye!
