Detailed explanation-1: -Basic Circuits A simple electrical circuit consists of a power source, two conducting wires (one end of each being attached to each terminal of the cell), and a small lamp to which the free ends of the wires leading from the cell are attached.

Detailed explanation-2: -A simple electric circuit can consist of a battery (or other energy source), a light bulb (or other device that uses energy), and conducting wires that connect the two terminals of the battery to the two ends of the light bulb.

Detailed explanation-3: -An electrical circuit needs: a source of electrical power (this could be a power plant or a battery) a material along which the electricity can flow (this may be a copper wire) something to power (this could be a bulb)

Detailed explanation-4: -a conductive “path, ” such as wire, or printed etches on a circuit board; a “source” of electrical power, such as a battery or household wall outlet, and, a “load” that needs electrical power to operate, such as a lamp.
