⚡Electrical Circuits - Energy Transformations

|

🔌 Circuit Components

Circuit
Circuit
A closed path through which electrical current can flow from an energy source and back.
🔗 Like a racetrack for electricity - it needs a complete loop to work!
Current
Electric Current
The flow of electrical charges (electrons) through a conductor.
🔗 Think of it like water flowing through a pipe - current flows through wires!
Transform
Energy Transformation
When energy changes from one form to another (like electrical to light or sound).
🔗 A light bulb transforms electrical energy into light AND heat energy!
