How is an electronic circuit different from an electrical circuit?
Electronic circuits always contain at least one active component
What characterizes an open circuit?
Voltage tends to the EMF with no current flowing
Which component is NOT typically found in an electric circuit?
Gears
What happens in a closed-loop circuit?
Current flows from the source to the load and then returns back
Why won't a light bulb glow in an open circuit scenario?
Because the circuit is not completed
