ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS
| Power sources |
Produce the difference of power or voltage which propels the flow of electrons through the circuit: batteries, car batteries, power sources, alternators... Voltage in a generator is called Electromotive Force |
| Loads |
Transform electric energy into another type of energy. Lamps, engines, and resistances are different types of loads. There is always a drop in voltage |
| Conductors |
Are in charge of joining all the elements of the circuit and allow the circulation of the electrical current. |
| Elementos de maniobra |
Allow or prevent the electrical current circulation; they adjust, somehow, the way the circuit works. they are devices such as buttons, switches, commutator switches, ... |

Protective devices |
Protect both people and facilities from the effects of electricity. They are automatic switches, magnetic thermal switches, differential switches... |
