What is a Circuit? http://sfe.io/t26 http://sfe.io/t26 A circuit is a continuous path that allows electricity to flow from a source of high potential energy (+) to an area of low potential energy (-). The word “circuit” comes from the same word as circle. You’ll notice that it starts and ends at the same place. A circuit provides a path for electricity to flow from one side of a battery to the other through a device called a “load” that converts electrical energy to something useful like light. Flip over this card and make your own circuit using a small coin cell battery, conductive copper tape, and an LED!
