Electrical circuit: elements, principle of operation. Electrical circuit and its elements

In this lesson, we will repeat the conditions for the existence electric current and consider such a concept as an electrical circuit and its main elements. At the end of the lesson, we will specific example assembling the electrical circuit of a flashlight.

Topic: Electromagnetic phenomena

Lesson: Electric circuit and its components

Recall that in the last lesson we specified three conditions for the presence of an electric current:

1. the presence of charges;

2. the presence of a current source (galvanic cell, etc.). The current source creates electric field inside the conductor, which is the cause of the movement of charges;

3. the presence of an electrical circuit. We will talk about the latter concept today.

The electrical circuit must contain a current source (Fig. 1-3), i.e. an element that creates an electric field in the circuit and ensures the movement of charged particles, and a current consumer, i.e., for example, any household appliance(Fig. 4): light bulb, flashlight, computer, TV, washing machine, refrigerator, etc. The current source and consumers are always connected by wires (conductors), i.e., such elements that are capable of conducting electric current and have large quantity free charged particles.

Rice. 1. Galvanic cell ()

Rice. 2. Accumulator ()

Rice. 3. Power plant ()

Thus, the electrical circuit has the following main components: current source, current consumers, connecting wires.

Of course, current consumers themselves consist of smaller elements, each of which has its own name, function and features. Electrical circuits are complex and simple, we will begin their study with the simplest options, for example, with a flashlight device. Its components include: a power source, a light bulb, connecting wires and a switch. At the end of the lesson, we will assemble an electrical circuit similar to the circuit inside a flashlight and discuss how it works.

For convenience, electrical circuits are usually depicted in the form of diagrams in which certain notations are accepted. various elements. The symbols for the elements of electrical circuits are known and classified in a certain way, there are a lot of them, but we will get acquainted with the main ones.

Definition. Electrical circuit shown in the figure is called electric circuit.

This indicates the connection of several galvanic cells

The elements indicated in the table are components of the simplest electrical circuits.

Consider the simplest electrical circuit using the example of a flashlight device. It includes a power source, an incandescent bulb, connecting wires and a switch (key).

It is convenient to assemble the circuit in the following sequence: first, connect the light bulb to one of the poles of the current source (battery), then connect the second contact on the light bulb to the previously opened key (switch) and, to close the circuit, connect the second contact of the key to the free pole of the current source.

After assembling the circuit, it can be seen that the bulb is not lit, because it is still open with the key, and the electric current does not flow (the condition for the electrical circuit to be closed is not met). Now we close the key, and the light bulb lights up (Fig. 5), because the circuit becomes closed and all the conditions for the existence of an electric current are met.

Rice. 5.

Let's draw a diagram of the electrical circuit we have assembled using the symbols given in the table (Fig. 6).

Rice. 6.

Of course, it is pointless to consider from a practical point of view those electrical circuits in which the work of an electric current is not performed. We will talk about the action of electric current and the performance of work by it later.

In the next lesson, our topic will be "Electric current in metals."

Electrical circuits

is a set of devices through which electric current flows.

Consider the simplest electrical circuit. What does it consist of? It has a generator - a current source, a receiver (for example, a light bulb or an electric motor), as well as a transmission system (wires). In order for a circuit to become a circuit, and not a set of wires and batteries, its elements must be interconnected by conductors. Current can only flow in a closed circuit. Let's give another definition:

- These are interconnected current source, transmission lines and receiver.

Of course, source, sink and wires is the simplest option for an elementary electrical circuit. In reality, different chains include many more elements and auxiliary equipment: resistors, capacitors, knife switches, ammeters, voltmeters, switches, contact connections, transformers and more.


Classification of electrical circuits

By appointment, electrical circuits are:

  • Power electrical circuits;
  • Electrical control circuits;
  • Electrical measurement circuits;

Power circuits intended for transmission and distribution electrical energy. It is the power circuits that conduct current to the consumer.

Also, the circuits are divided according to the strength of the current in them. For example, if the current in the circuit exceeds 5 amperes, then the circuit is power. When you click on the kettle plugged into the outlet, you close the power circuit.

Electrical control circuits are not power and are designed to actuate or change operating parameters electrical devices and equipment. An example of a control circuit is monitoring, control and signaling equipment.

Electrical measurement circuits designed to record changes in the parameters of electrical equipment.

Calculation of electrical circuits

To calculate a circuit means to find all the currents in it. Exist different methods calculation of electrical circuits: Kirchhoff's laws, the method of loop currents, the method of nodal potentials and others. Consider the application of the method of loop currents on the example of a specific circuit.


First, we select the circuits and denote the current in them. The direction of the current can be chosen arbitrarily. In our case, clockwise. Then for each contour we will compose equations according to the 2nd Kirchhoff law. The equations are compiled as follows: The loop current is multiplied by the loop resistance, the products of the current of other loops and the total resistances of these loops are added to the resulting expression. For our schema:

The resulting system is solved by substituting the initial data of the problem. The currents in the branches of the original circuit are found as the algebraic sum of the loop currents

In an electrical circuit, there must be a source of movement of electrically charged particles, which is called electric current. In other words, the electric current must have its own exciter. Such a current exciter, called a source (generator), is an integral element of an electrical circuit.

Electric current can cause various effects in nature - for example, it makes incandescent bulbs glow, it drives heating devices and electric motors. All these devices and devices are commonly called receivers of electric current. Since current flows through them, that is, they are included in the electrical circuit, the receivers are also elements of the circuit.

The flow of current requires that there be a connection between the source and the receiver, which is implemented using electrical wires, representing the third important constituent element electrical circuit.

Electrical circuit- a set of devices designed for the passage of electric current. The circuit is formed by energy sources (generators), energy consumers (loads), energy transmission systems (wires).

An electrical circuit is a set of devices and objects that form a path for electromagnetic processes in which can be described using the concept of electromotive force, current and voltage.

The simplest electrical installation consists of a source (galvanic cell, battery, generator, etc.), consumers or (incandescent lamps, electric heaters, electric motors, etc.) and connecting wires connecting the clamps of the voltage source to the clamps of the consumer. Those. electrical circuit - a set of interconnected sources of electrical energy, receivers and wires connecting them (transmission line).

Fig.1. Electrical circuit diagram

The electrical circuit is divided into internal and external parts. The source of electrical energy belongs to the internal part of the electrical circuit. The external part of the circuit includes connecting wires, consumers, switches, switches, electrical measuring instruments, i.e., everything that is connected to the terminals of the source of electrical energy.

Electric current can only flow through a closed electrical circuit. An open circuit anywhere causes the electrical current to stop.

Circuit power sources are galvanic cells, electric accumulators, electromechanical generators, thermal electrical generators, photocells, etc. modern technology Electric generators are mainly used as energy sources. All power sources have a value which is small compared to the resistance of other elements of the electrical circuit.

DC electrical receivers are electric motors that convert electrical energy into mechanical, heating and lighting, electrolysis plants, etc.

As auxiliary equipment, an electrical circuit includes devices for switching on and off (for example, knife switches), devices for measuring electrical quantities (for example, ammeters and voltmeters), protection devices (for example, fuses).

All electrical receivers are characterized by electrical parameters, among which the main ones are voltage and power. For normal operation the electrical receiver on its terminals must be supported.

Elements of the electrical circuit are divided into active and passive. To active elements of the electrical circuit include those in which EMF is induced (EMF sources, electric motors, batteries during charging, etc.). To passive elements include electrical receivers and connecting wires.




For a conditional representation of electrical circuits, electrical circuits are used. In these diagrams, sources, receivers, wires and all other devices and elements of the electrical circuit are indicated using conventional symbols (graphic symbols) made in a certain way.

According to GOST 18311-80:

Power circuit- an electrical circuit containing elements whose functional purpose is to produce or transmit the main part of electrical energy, its distribution, conversion into another type of energy or into electrical energy with other parameter values.

Auxiliary circuit of an electrical product (device)- an electrical circuit of various functional purposes, which is not a power electrical circuit of an electrical product (device).

Electrical control circuit- an auxiliary circuit of an electrical product (device), the functional purpose of which is to actuate electrical equipment and (or) individual electrical products or devices or to change the values ​​of their parameters.

Alarm circuit- an auxiliary circuit of an electrical product (device), the functional purpose of which is to actuate signaling devices.

Measurement circuit- an auxiliary circuit of an electrical product (device), the functional purpose of which is to measure and (or) register parameter values ​​and (or) obtain measurement information of an electrical product (device) or electrical equipment.

According to topological features electrical circuits are divided into:

    into simple (single-circuit), two-node and complex (multi-circuit, multi-node, planar (planar) and volumetric);

    bipolar, having two external outputs (two-terminal networks and multi-pole, containing more than two external outputs (quadruple, multi-terminal).

Sources and receivers (consumers) of energy from the point of view of circuit theory are two-terminal, since for their operation it is necessary and sufficient to have two poles through which they transmit or receive energy. This or that two-terminal network is called active if it contains a source, or passive - if it does not contain a source (respectively, the left and right parts of the circuit).

Devices that transmit power from sources to sinks are four terminals, as they must have at least four terminals to transfer power from the generator to the load. Wires are the simplest device for transmitting energy.


Elements of an electrical circuit that have electrical resistance and are called resistors are characterized by the so-called volt-ampere characteristic - the dependence of the voltage at the terminals of the element on the current in it or the dependence of the current in the element on the voltage at its terminals.

If the resistance of an element is constant at any value of the current in it and any value of the voltage applied to it, then the current-voltage characteristic is a straight line and such an element is called line element.

In general resistance depends on both current and voltage. One of the reasons for this is the change in the resistance of the conductor when current flows through it due to its heating. As the temperature rises, the resistance of the conductor increases. But since in many cases this dependence is insignificant, the element is considered linear.

An electrical circuit, the electrical resistance of the sections of which does not depend on the values ​​\u200b\u200band and the voltages in the circuit, is called linear electrical circuit. Such a chain consists only of linear elements, and its state is described by linear algebraic equations.

If the resistance of a circuit element depends significantly on current or voltage, then the current-voltage characteristic is non-linear, and such an element is called non-linear element.

An electrical circuit, the electrical resistance of at least one of the sections of which depends on the values ​​\u200b\u200band on the directions of currents and voltages in this section of the circuit, is called. Such a circuit contains at least one non-linear element.

When describing the properties of electrical circuits, a connection is established between the magnitudes of the electromotive force (EMF), voltages and currents in the circuit with the values ​​of resistances, inductances, capacitances and the method of constructing the circuit.

When analyzing electrical circuits use the following topological parameters of circuits:

  • branch - a section of an electrical circuit along which the same electric current flows;
  • node - the junction of the branches of an electrical circuit. Usually, the place where two branches are connected is not called a node, but a connection (or a disposable node), and a node connects at least three branches;
  • circuit - a sequence of branches of an electrical circuit that forms a closed path, in which one of the nodes is both the beginning and end of the path, and the rest meet only once.

4. Primary assimilation of new knowledge

The set of devices through which electric current flows is called an electrical circuit. Chains are simple (as in a demonstration) and complex (wiring), but in all it is possible to distinguish components. Devices that use electrical energy are called consumers. This is the first part of the chain. Give examples of consumers…in the classroom…at home…on the table…(for L.R. light bulb). The second component of the circuit is a current source (for L.R. - a galvanic cell). The current source is connected to the circuit last with the help of connecting wires - this is the third component of the circuit. There is one more main part electrical circuit. In Paris in 1881, at an electrical exhibition, everyone was delighted with this invention. This is a switch. Its role is to close and open the electrical circuit. Used in technology different types closing and opening devices. In order for there to be current in the circuit, it must be closed, i.e. consist of conductors of electricity. If at any point the wire breaks, then the current in the circuit will stop. This is what switches work on. Name the locking devices in the class (Switch, knife switch, buttons, for l.r. - key)

Motivation Q: What is needed for an incandescent lamp to produce light?

Imagine, for a moment electric lamps go out in the houses, TVs turn off, the movement of electric trains, trolleybuses stops, then they say that the current has disappeared in the wires.

    What is current?

An electric current is an ordered (directed) movement of charged particles.

Conditions for the occurrence of electric current:

The presence of a conductor;

The presence of an electric field created by a current source, in which, due to energy of non-electric origin, work is done to separate charged particles;

The presence of a closed circuit.

Current sources are used to conduct current to consumers (lamps, tiles, irons, televisions, computers, and other electrical appliances). In order to use the energy of an electric current, you need to have current source .

Televisions, computers, incandescent lamps (energy saving), household appliances are called receivers or electrical energy consumers .

Electrical energy must be delivered to the consumer. To do this, the receiver is connected to a source of electrical energy. wires .

To turn on and off in right time consumers of electrical energy keys, switches, buttons, switches , that is, closing and opening devices.

Demonstration: demonstrate to students from laboratory equipment a current source, keys, consumers, wires.

For there to be current in a circuit, it must be closed. If there is a break in any place, then the current in the circuit will stop. This is the basis for the operation of the switches.

Devices on the diagrams indicate conventional signs.

We fill in the table together with the students (2 columns).
