DEFINICIONES EN INGLES CIRCUITOS ELECTRICOS

Generators are the elements that provide the necessary circuit load difference between the two poles or terminals and, moreover, are capable of effectively keeping the circuit during operation. Examples are the batteries and power supplies

Receptors are the elements responsible for converting electrical energy into another type of energy directly useful as the light, the mechanism (movement), heating, etc. The most common electrical receptors in our workshop will lamps or light bulbs, electric heaters and motors.

Conductor(s) or cables are the elements that are used to connect all the other elements that make up the circuit. With them will set the path that the electrons have to travel from the negative to the positive pole of the generator. The conductors are made from materials that conduct electricity well-metals such as copper and aluminum, insulating material-coated plastics normally.

Control elements, which allow to easily manipulate the flow of current. The switch is a staple of any circuit, as it will open or close the circuit without need for separate generator wires, switches and buttons are two very common types of switching elements used in the technology workshop.

Protection elements which, as its name suggests, serve to protect people or the circuit elements, the risk of improper handling or unforeseen variations in the current. The fuse is a protective element present in most electrical devices, and circuit breakers or differential circuit breakers and switches are present on a mandatory in all buildings and homes
