2. Electric Circuit
Electric circuits are critical systems that allow electric current to flow, consisting of components like power sources, conductors, and load devices. Understanding the different types of circuits, including series, parallel, and combination circuits, along with Ohm's Law, is essential for analyzing electrical behavior. The chapter also emphasizes electric power, energy consumption, and methodologies for safely measuring and protecting circuits.
