  1. Components of Building Electrical Systems By: Bryan Campbell

  2. Open Circuit An open circuit doesn’t have a complete path between the positive and negative sides of its source. Picture from: http://www.txcscopereview.com/2013/cscope-electric-circuits/

  3. Closed Circuit A closed circuit does have a complete path between the positive and negative sides of its source. Picture from: http://www.txcscopereview.com/2013/cscope-electric-circuits/

  4. Switched Open Circuit A switched open circuit relies on a switch to open and close the path between the positive and negative sides of its source. Picture from: http://www.txcscopereview.com/2013/cscope-electric-circuits/

  5. AC/DC Explained With alternating current (AC), the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction. With direct current (DC), the flow of electric charge is only in one direction. Picture from: http://gallery.mailchimp.com/307368d039b3aa9bcbba142f8/images/AC_DC.png/

  6. Transformers Whenever electrical voltage needs to be increased or decreased a transformers is used . For example, the power company produces electricity at a very high voltage, so that it can travel great distances. That voltage must be reduced before the electricity reaches your house.
