PhysicsClass 10CBSEAnswered 28 May 2026
Answer
An electric circuit is a closed, continuous conducting path through which current flows from a source to the load and back.
Essential components: Source (battery), conducting wires, load (bulb/resistor), switch.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Series | Single path same current, voltage divides |
| Parallel | Multiple paths same voltage, current divides |
An electric circuit is a closed conducting loop through which current flows from a power source, through components, and back to the source.
