Circuit Components

Circuit components are the basic parts that make up an electrical circuit. They include a power source (like a battery) that provides energy, and devices such as resistors, capacitors, and switches that control or modify the flow of electricity. Wires connect these components, allowing electric current to travel through the circuit. Each component has a specific role: resistors limit current, capacitors store energy, switches turn the circuit on or off, and bulbs or motors convert electrical energy into light or motion. Together, these components work in harmony to perform various electrical functions.
