What is a Circuit

  • A circuit is a path through which a current flows

Inventor of Electrical Circuits

  • Alessandro Volta invented the electrical circuit in 1800
  • He discovered he could produce a steady flow of electricity using bowls of salt solution connected by metal strips

Inventor of Integrated Circuits

  • Jack Kilby was an electrical engineer
  • He worked at Texas Instruments
  • He took part in making the first integrated circuit in 1958

Parallel Circuits

  • The components are connected in parallel to be a parallel circuit
  • The voltage across each component is the same
  • The total current is the sum of the currents in each component
  • Each component has its own circuit
  • The voltage is the same for all elements

Short Circuit

  • A short circuit is an abnormal connection between two nodes of an electrical circuit intended to be at different voltages
  • A short circuit fault current can within milliseconds be thousands of times larger than the normal operating current of the system

Integrated Circuit

  • An integrated circuit is a little chip with many circuits already built on it
  • Early integrated circuits were delicate and were packaged to protect them
  • They are used in all electronics because of how small they are and there low cost

Materials

  • Connectors
  • Battery
  • Components
  • Battery holder
  • Switch

How to Make a Circuit

  • Put the batteries in the battery holder
  • Connect the switch to the battery holder
  • Use connector pieces to connect the components
  • Make sure all components connect to the other end of the battery
  • Turn it on
