Components of Electric Circuits
The main components of any circuit are devices that produce and utilize electric energy. They are: 1) power sources, 2) utilizing loads, 3) connecting conductors. The most common power sources are electric generators and cells. Electric generators convert chemical energy into electric energy.
Loads include electric heaters, electric motors, lamps, etc. Motors convert electric energy into mechanical, incandescent lamps and heaters convert electric energy into light and heat. Utilizing devices or loads convert electric energy into thermal, mechanical or chemical energy.
Electric power is delivered from power sources to loads by electric wires. According to their material, wires can be aluminium, copper, steel, etc.
Besides, electric circuits use different types of switches, protection devices (relays), and meters (ammeters, voltmeters, wattmeters, etc.).
