Welcome you all to my blog today as I am going to participate in this wonderful topic; thanks to the Steemit team for providing this wonderful learning course for everyone to learn about electrical circuits.
What a great joy and happiness for me to be part of this week's engagement challenges because it sounds like a revision to me because It reminds me of the electrical circuits that I learned when I was in school.
| What is called an electrical circuit? Mention the importance of circuits in electrical engineering. |
|---|
An electrical circuit is a way or path by which electrical current flows. It comprises batteries, wires, motors, resistors, capacitors, etc.
Circuits are the basis of electrical engineering. It plays a very important role in designing, analyzing, zing, and also implementing electrical systems.
A passage or channel through which electrical current passes is called an electrical circuit.
Batteries, wires, motors, resistors, capacitors, and other components are included.
It is also known as electric current flows in devices, systems, and connecting various electrical components.
It consists of the following, Source of supply (i.e battery), Connecting Wires, Current flow controller (switches), Circuit Breaker, and fuses ( protective devices)
| The importance of circuits in electrical engineering is |
|---|
- Power distribution
- Control system
- Energy Conversion
- Safety
- Signal processing
| B. Mention at least two differences between a series circuit and a parallel circuit. |
|---|
In a series circuit, current flows through each component, sequentially following a single path.
While in a parallel circuit, current flows through multiple branches in its own current paths.
In a series circuit, if the components fail, everything about the series circuit will fail, too.
While in the parallel circuit, if a component fails, it will still work, and it will still continue to operate.
Series circuit serves as flashlights, alarms, and also systems while parallel serve as electronic devices.
For the B answer: the first circuit is Rt=R1+R2,
While the second one na Rt= ¹/R1+¹/R2.
| Take two pieces of wire and connect them properly. Be sure to mention consistent images and clear descriptions? |

Step 1
Now I have started doing my practical work. According to the instructions the instructor gives, I needed three things. Including...
Wire
Knife
Plier
Step 2
Then I removed the wire insulation with a knife. I kept the knife on the wire very well to avoid damage to the wire. It was easily removed when I keep the knife on the correct place on the wire.
Step 3
I very carefully removed the insulation from both wires from all around as you can see in this picture below.
Step 4
Then I started connecting the two wires together. Which you can see in my picture.
Step 5
Believe me, I'm very happy to see my work done because I don't believe myself that I will be able to do it.
| After completing this lesson write what you learn in your own words? |
|---|
Indeed I have how to join two wire without making any mistake, I have known about electrical circuit for the second time and also I have learn many things from this, and part of it is that no matter what happens always believe on yourself.
I read about series and parallel circuit in this course and learned many good things and I researched it.
Finally, I wish to invite my friends @Paholags @solaymann, and @josepha @kuzboy @patjewell to also join this contest.
You got the first point right. Your definition and stated requirements here were quite excellent. I am satisfied with your answers to the first point. (1.5)
You have presented the differences very well in point B. The differences were very clear. You have clarified your sentences according to each difference. But you have not solved the two circuits mentioned in the course. Both of your formulas are correct but you should have solved the circuit accordingly. (1.8)
Point C You have completed and added arresting details. But the way you do the cable joint is very difficult and risky. Your cable joint is not complete, because it has enough loose connections. As soon as it is connected to the supply it will spark or disconnect from the line. (1)
You have failed to fully represent what you are learning by completing this lesson. I would advise you to pay attention to the mentioned lessons and be more careful with electrical work. (1)
