Electrical circuit is a path which electrons from a voltage or current source flow. Electric current flows in a closed path called an electric circuit. The point where those electrons enter an electrical circuit is called the "source" of electrons. The point where the electrons leave an electrical circuit is called the "return" or "earth ground". The exit point is called the "return" because electrons always end up at the source when they complete the path of an electrical circuit. The part of an

Discussion In the experiment AC circuits‚ the purpose was to see the effect that a capacitor‚ resistor‚ and inductor have on the voltage‚ and current of a circuit. We created circuits with 2 resistors‚ a capacitor and a resistor‚ and then a capacitor‚ resistor‚ and an inductor. The circuits were then hooked up to a function generator‚ and oscilloscope to find the voltage across certain frequencies and then calculate the peak current‚ capacitive reactance or the inductive reactance‚ and phase difference
