INFORMATION SHEET 6.1-1
Components of a Simple Circuit
A Simple circuit contains the minimum things needed to have a functioning

electric circuit. A simple circuit requires the following:
 AC/DC source
 Equipment that will operate on either an AC or DC power source
 Battery – a dc voltage source containing two or more cells that
convert chemical energy to electrical energy.
 Cell- Single unit used to convert chemical energy into a DC
electrical voltage.
 FUSE
Once you design a simple circuit on
electronics, it is important to include a fuse
in the primary or secondary of a transformer.
 Fuse is a safety device used to protect
an electrical circuit from the effect of
excessive current. Its essential
component is usually a strip of metal
that will melt at a given temperature.
A fuse is so designed that the strip of metal can easily be placed
in the electric circuit. If the current in the circuit exceed a
predetermined value, the fusible metal will melt and thus break,
or open the circuit.
 A fuse is usually rated in Amperes, which represent the
maximum continues current it could handle without blowing.
 The most popular type of fuse in Electronics is 3AG type. This
code describes the case size and material with the “G” indicates
a glass materials and “A” indicates that intended for automotive
application. A 3AG fuse measures approximately 32mm x 6mm.
 Wires and Cable

 A wire is a single slender rod or
filament of drawn metal. This definition
restricts the term to what would ordinarily
be understood as solid wire. The word
“slender” is used because the length of a
wire is usually large when compared to its
diameter. If a wire is covered with
insulation, It is an insulated wire.
SICAT-TESDA

electronics
Although the term “wire” properly refers to the metal, it is also includes
the insulation.
 A conductor is a wire suitable for carrying an electric current.
 A stranded conductor is a conductor composed of a group of wire or
of any combination of group of wires. The wires in a stranded
conductor are usually twisted together and not insulated from each
other.
 A cable is either a stranded conductor (single-conductor cable) or a
combination of conductors insulated from one another (multiple-
conductor cable). The term “cable” is a general one and usually applies
only to the large sizes of conductor. A small cable is more often called a
stranded wire or cored (such as that used for an iron or a lamp cord).
Cables may be bare or insulated. Insulated cables may be sheathed
(covered) with lead, or protective armor.
 Switch and its function

 Switch is a device used to break an electric current or transfer it to
another conductor. Switches are commonly used to open or close a
circuit. Closed is the ON position, while open is OFF position.
Normally, switch is installed in series with the line carrying current
from the power source to the load.
 A switch is a mechanical device
used to connect and disconnect a
circuit at will. Switches cover a
wide range of types, from
subminiature up to industrial
plant switching megawatts of
power on high voltage distribution
lines.
 Switch is a manually operated
device capable of making,
breaking, or changing the
connection in an electronics or electrical circuit. A switch connected
in series with one of the connecting wires of simple circuit affords a
means of controlling the current in the circuit.
 Switched function
o When the switch is closed, the electron finds an interrupted path in
the circuit.
o Open is the OFF position of the switch, while closed is the ON
position.
o When the switch is opened, the current delivered by the power
supply is normally insufficient to jump the switch gap in the form
of an arc and the electron flow in the circuit is blocked.
SICAT-TESDA

electronics
 Load – a source drives a load. Whatever component or piece or piece of
equipment is connected to a source and draws current from a source is a
load on that source.
 The following are examples but not limited to:

 Appliances

splices. Each is made by joining the
Knotted free ends of the conductors
Tap Joint together. Sometimes, however, it is
necessary to join a branch
conductor to a continuous wire
called the main wire. Such a
junction is called a tap joint.

Staggering Each conductor must be spliced
Splices and taped. If the splices are directly
opposite each other, the overall size
of the joint becomes large and
bulky. A smoother and less bulky
joint can be made by staggering the
splices.
Tap splice It is used where you want to join a

second wire to a conductor.
Western The wrapping pattern is designed to

Union or cause the termination to tighten as
Lineman the conductors pull against each
splice other. This type of splice is more
suited to solid, rather than

Title: Circuit Analysis
Learning Objectives : After reading this information sheet YOU should be

able to perform circuit analysis.
Supplies and materials: battery, incandescent lamp, wire, multi-

meter, breadboard
INSTRUCTIONS
1. This is the simplest complete circuit. a battery and an incandescent

lamp. Connect the lamp to the battery as shown in the illustration below, and
the lamp should light, assuming the battery and lamp are both in good
condition and both are matched to one another in terms of voltage.
 If there is a "break" (discontinuity) anywhere in the circuit occurs the

lamp fails to light. It does not matter where such a break occurs! Many
Trainees assume that because electrons leave the negative (-) side of the
battery and continue through the circuit to the positive (+) side, that the
wire connecting. The negative terminal of the battery to the lamp is more
important in circuit operation than the other wire providing a return path
for electrons back to the battery. This is not true!
SICAT-TESDA

electronics
2. Using your multimeter set to the appropriate "DC volt" range, measure
voltage across the battery, across the lamp, and across each jumper wire.
Familiarize yourself with the normal voltages in a functioning circuit.
Now, "break" the circuit at one point and re-measure the voltage between
the same sets of points, additionally measuring voltage across the break
like this:
SICAT-TESDA

electronics
What voltages measure the same as before? What voltages are different
since introducing the break? How much voltage is manifest, or dropped
across the break? What is the polarity of the voltage drop across the
break, as indicated by the meter?
Re-connect the jumper wire to the lamp, and break the circuit in another
place. Measure all voltage "drops" again, familiarizing yourself with the
voltages of an "open" circuit.
3. Construct the same circuit on a breadboard, taking care to place the lamp
and wires into the breadboard in such a way that continuity will be maintained.
The example shown here is only that: an example, not the only way to build a
circuit on a breadboard:

4. Experiment with different configurations on the breadboard, plugging the
lamp into different holes. If you encounter a situation where the lamp refuses to
light up and the connecting wires are getting warm, you probably have a
situation known as a short circuit, where a lower-resistance path than the lamp
bypasses current around the lamp, preventing enough voltage from being
dropped across the lamp to light it up. Here is an example of a short circuit
made on a breadboard:
SICAT-TESDA

electronics
5. Here is an example of an accidental short circuit of the type typically made by
Trainees unfamiliar with breadboard usage:
SICAT-TESDA

electronics
6. Here no "shorting" wire is present on the breadboard, yet
there is a short circuit occurs and the lamp doesn’t light.
Based on your understanding of breadboard hole
connections, can you determine where the "short" is found
in this circuit?
Short circuits are generally to be avoided, as they

result in very high rates of electron flow, causing
wires to heat up and battery power sources to
deplete. If the power source is substantial enough, a
short circuit may cause heat of explosive proportions
to manifest, causing equipment damage and hazard
to nearby personnel. This is what happens when a
tree limb "shorts" across wires on a power line: the
limb -- being composed of wet wood -- acts as a low-
resistance path to electric current, resulting in heat and sparks.
You may also build the battery/lamp circuit on a terminal strip: a length
of insulating material with metal bars and screws to attach wires and
component terminals to. Here is an example of how this circuit might be
constructed on a terminal strip:

 CIRCUIT AND CONNECTION
 Circuit is interconnection of components to provide an electrical path

between two or more components.
 Types of Circuits
 Open circuit- A type of circuit were the flow of current is cut off.
 Closed circuit- circuit having a complete path for current flow.
 Grounded circuit- circuit having an intentional or accidental

connection between line 1 and line 2.
SICAT-TESDA

electronics
 Short circuit- (Also called a short) Low resistance connection
between two points in a circuit typically causing excessive current.
 Kinds of Circuits
 Series circuit
 Circuit in which the components are connected end to end so
that current has only one path to follow through to the
circuit.
 Containing only one path for current flow, the current leaves
the voltage source, and must travel through a single path to
return to the other side of the voltage source.
 Series circuit may have only one or several loads in it, but
there is still only one path for current flow.
 Laws of series circuit
 Three basic laws that describe the behavior of a series
circuit
SICAT-TESDA

electronics
1. The individual resistance in a series circuit adds up
to the total circuit resistance.
2. The current has the same value at any point within
a series circuit.
3. The individual voltage across the load in a series
circuit add up to the total voltage applied to that
circuit.
 Parallel circuit
 A parallel circuit is a circuit where there is more than one
path for the current to flow through.
 Laws of parallel circuit
 The three laws stated briefly are:
1. The total voltage of a parallel circuit is the same
across each branch of that circuit.
2. The total current in a parallel circuit is equal to the
sum of the individual branch current.
3. The total resistance in a parallel circuit is always
less approximately equal to the value of the smallest
resistive branch.
SICAT-TESDA

electronics
 Series Parallel circuit
 This circuit consist of a number of minor circuit that are

connected in series while other parts of the circuit are
connected in parallel or a series-parallel circuit which
comprise a series connection of a number of multiple circuit.

Tools Descriptions Drawing
A simple manual wire stripper is

a pair of opposing blades much
like scissors or wire cutters. The
addition of a center notch makes
it easier to cut the insulation
Wire Stripper without cutting the wire. This
type of wire stripper is used by
rotating it around the insulation
while applying pressure in order
to make a cut around the
insulation. Since the insulation
is not bonded to the wire, it then
pulls easily off the end. This is
the most versatile type of wire
stripper.
Make smooth cuts in all kinds of

Side Cutter wire.

Soldering iron Device for applying heat to melt

solder for attaching two metal
parts.
