What is an Electronic Circuit?
Here we represent a simple electronic circuit consisting of a power source(battery), a passive device(bulb) , connecting wires and a switch.
Electronic circuit can be defined as a complete path for the flow of electricity or certain signal. It consist of individual elements like current source, conductors and loads which form an integral part of the circuit.
Inside an electronic circuit, electrons come out of the power source and travel along the conductor, pass through resistances performing some work against them and eventually returning back to source. A circuit can be linear or non-linear.
- Linear Circuit: A circuit in which current is directly proportional to applied voltage. Ohm’s law is valid for such circuits.
- Non Linear Circuit : A circuit which consist of non-linear elements like capacitors and diodes. This circuit will not have any linear relationship between the current & voltage.
Key Terminologies
- Electronic Circuit: An electronic circuit consists of electronic components like resistors, transistors, capacitors, and diodes which provide a complete path for current to flow.
- Power Supply: A power supply is a cell or group of cells that produces a direct current in a circuit by applying a DC voltage.
- Switch: This device completes the circuit. The ‘ON’ state indicates the circuit is complete and the ‘OFF’ state indicates the circuit is open.
- Connecting Wires: These are wires connecting the components of the circuit together.
Representation of an Electronic Circuit
Electronics and circuits go hand-in-hand, basically, every topic of electronic systems involves some explanation through basic circuits. In this article, we discuss how to represent an electronic circuit. We talk about the basic components required to make an electronic circuit, and the primary terminologies associated with them.
