    Study Notes

    Electrical Circuits

    • An electrical circuit is a network of interconnected electrical components using conductors.
    • Conductors enable the flow of electric current.
    • Good electrical conductors are also good thermal conductors.
    • Metals, particularly copper, are common conductors.
    • Liquids, like electrolytes (e.g., salt water), can also conduct electricity.
